Founded in 963, Luxembourg became a grand duchy in 1815 and an independent state under the Netherlands. It lost more than half of its territory to Belgium in 1839, but gained a larger measure of autonomy. Full independence was attained in 1867. Overrun by Germany in both World Wars, it ended its neutrality in 1948 when it entered into the Benelux Customs Union and when it joined NATO the following year. In 1957, Luxembourg became one of the six founding countries of the European Economic Community (later the European Union), and in 1999 it joined the euro currency area. To be updated

Next stop: Biel? Europe » Luxembourg » Luxembourg City

To make a long story short Belgium was pretty much sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. Okay, except the roll. Now I'm in Luxembourg, soon on the way to Switzerland although I considered staying at a hostel here, wouldn't be too shabby, but going to Biel would be better. [View Full Entry]

Luxemburgers....Yum Europe » Luxembourg » Luxembourg City

My first couple of days in Luxembourg have been quite nice. Unfortunately I have the memory of a small, irritating house fly and haven't been able to remember all the names of places I've been, but I do know that the first night we went to a town called Echternacht....I think. It was this delightful old town and we got these massive ice creams. When I say massive, I mean massive. They are in these huge martini type glasses with large heart shaped waffle cookie dealies. Luxembourg is apparently the richest country in the EU, and because of it have exceptional [View Full Entry]

Luxembourg City

Luxembourg City I arrived in Luxembourg hungover and around three hours after I'd intended to, thanks to sleeping in after the rather raucous night before (note to self: don't even bother trying to keep up with the Irish whilst drinking). I was feeling a little uninspired, wishing I was still in bed and as I walked towards the Centre I couldn't see anything too special about the place... until I got to the big bridge, Luxembourg opened up beneath me in the form of a beautiful lush green valley and the sun actually came out from behind the clouds - [View Full Entry]

Au Revoir Paris! Europe » Luxembourg » Luxembourg City

Backtracking to two countries ago... I did *not* in fact get to go the Guinness Factory. I thought I'd be able to swing it before the airport, but I did the math in my head and there was no way, as it was I barely made it to the airport...mostly because I ran down the street to buy a pretty Claddagh ring. Necessary!!!! I flew to Paris with no mishaps. I read my French guide just about the whole way there and practiced ways to ask where my train and hotel were, which proved unnecessary. Unnecessary!!! When I got to the [View Full Entry]

Luxembourg city
Gardens, and in the background, a bridge over the valley that runs through Lux City

Neatly tucked between France, Belguim and Germany is one of Europes (and the worlds) smallest soverign countries. Im talking about Luxembourg (or the official name - Grande Duche de Luxembourg). With a total territory of 2,585 sq kilometres (or 1000 sq miles) it is about the 20th smallest country in the world. A founding E.U. member, the official language is Luxembourgish. But hey, French or German are fine. And while it can be a bit harder to find someone, English should get you around reasonably OK. Just be aware, most people in ticket booths, retail or hospitality can't speak English [View Full Entry]

Whirl Wind tour of Luxembourg Europe » Luxembourg » Luxembourg City

Our first campsite
We parked our camper for the first time.

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 grea [View Full Entry]

Autobahn Turtahn Europe » Luxembourg » Luxembourg City

Pushing the limits
No limit on speed - so lets push the limit of the campervan

Finally after taking 3 hours to give us our campervan (we had to do paperwork, watch a 'how to' video and then get everything explained again in person and then inspect the vehicle for damage) we finally drove off and were lost in 5 mins! Driving around backtstreets and trying to find the main road again, whilst trying to get use to driving on the right hand side, and trying not to turn windscreen wipers on instead of indicators- there were a few profanities being thrown around in the those first few minutes. But finally once we were on the [View Full Entry]

Luxenbourg City Europe » Luxembourg » Luxembourg City

tim and i in lux

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 [View Full Entry]

Road Trip: Day 2 Europe » Luxembourg » Luxembourg City

Luxemburg 1
The wall with Grund, the oldest municipality.

The day started early, Julia showered first at 7:40, then Chelsea, me and finally Ross. We were quick and made our way to breakfast. We headed off on our day excursion to see the old part of Luxembourg. Outside the hostel we were immediately faced with an uphill walk (Julia would argue climb - only because she needed to rest part way up and then catch her breath at the top.) At the top is the wall surrounding the old city, which was built in 963. It is no longer fully intact but a good part of it still exists. (As [View Full Entry]

Luksemburg -öncesi we sonrası Europe » Luxembourg » Luxembourg City

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, sıkıc&# [View Full Entry]
