Driving into Luxembourg we didn't really know what to expect. We arrived at the campsite and were pleasantly surprised. The campsite was beautiful. It reminded us of the campsite we stayed in at the Blue Mountains. It was so well maintained, with beautiful green manicured lawns to park on, lovely forest surrounding, and fantastic amenities. These toilets/showers were the cleanest public amenities I have ever seen, including AUST. You could eat off the floor they were so clean, they were heated, and even played Celine Dion music in the background. Our first evening in our campervan was great. We hung our Aussie flag on the outside of our van, and despite the camp being virtually empty, one other group saw our flag and come over - Kiwis! We met Tony and his wife Jenny, who ... read more

Lux was one of the coolest cities i've ever been to. it was surrounded by castels and beautiful bridges. Honestly I was a little hung over so I didn't enjoy it as much as i shuould have. But i went with Tim, Sarah Jo and Bobbo. We had a great time looking at the city and seeing the castle and city lit up at night was breath taking. We also visited a pub that reminded me of Duffys in Chico. The pubs here are so neat. They are like little duffy's all over but bigger and with better beer. It is a small but interesting counrty. The people were also moslty speaking french which was nice to hear a different language besides german. Other than that not much about it besides a cool place to see. ... read more

Yazmayalı, uzun zaman oldu. Büyük bi değişiklik yok ama, aslında her gün yeni bişey oluyo. Bazılarınız bildiği üzere, bizimkiler (anne-baba) uzun bi süredir Hollanda'dalardı. daha çok dayımda kaldılar ama bize de geldiler. Neyse, onlarla bi ufak Luxemburg turu yapalım dedik. Eindhoven'dan arabayla yaklaşık 2 saatte ulaştık. Bu arada arabayı ben sürdüm... Henüz oturum kartım çıkmamıştı, Hollandayı terketmem yasak yani:)) Allah korudu. Virajsız, dümdüz, sıkıcı yolculuktan soora Luksemburg'a vardık. Ufacık biyer, nüfusu da baya az. Bir sürü şehir var ama hepsi köy büyüklüğünde... araları da 5er 10ar km. En güzel tarafı ise inanılmaz bi doğası war. Her taraf dağ tepe orman çayır... Hollanda'dan soora insana cennet gibi geliyo. Virajlardan tırmanıp ormanın içinden inişe başladığınızda karşınıza yemyeşil vadi içinde bi köy (aslında şehir) ve filmlerde gördüğümüz kocaman şatolardan çıkıyo. in... read more

The train over from Namur was pretty peaceful until we got to the border with Luxemburg. Just before the border, the conductors came around and told those of us in the back few cars that we needed to move forward, as the train was going to leave some cars behind at the last station in Belgium. I grabbed my stuff and moved to the car they had said to go to. As I sat down, I discovered that I had arrived in the under-20 rebel-without-a-cause car. It was full of smoking (banned on the train, but they didn't seem to care), drinking, black-leather wearing teenagers. Now, I'm sure you're all hoping to hear that they started fighting or something interesting like that, but alas, it was just a bunch of (probably) rich Luxemburg kids trying to ... read more

After Brugges I caught a train to Brussels, then on to Luxembourg. There was nothing in particular I wanted to see, basically purpose of the trip was to cross another country off the list. The train ride from Brussels was quite pleasant, passing through quite a few villages along the way. It was quite cheap and took approx 2.5 hours to get there. You can easily see Luxembourg in a day. It was a beautiful sunny day and I had a great time walking around and exploring the city. I stayed overnight and what must surely be the world's cleanest hostel! When I arrived they were polishing the floors with one of those big industrial polishers and the place fair dinkum sparkled. A nice change though as I have stayed in some absolute dog boxes in ... read more
