When it comes to Luxembourg and the tourist trail it is often missed or even drove through without knowing you have been in and out of a country in two or so hours. We were surprised by what Luxembourg has to offer and in particular once outside the city and visiting the country you will come across many picturesque villages amongst a forest and quite often having a castle overlooking proceedings. Luxembourg the city itself has plenty of green around the city and a highlight for us was the visiting the underground tunnels for the old castle that seem to go on forever. It has become into disrepair of late but since they recently started to uncover some important artefacts they are looking after the old castle very well now and paying a fee is a ... read more

Heading into Brussels and it is all about the chocolate and well… the peeing boy. Maybe one of the different must sees (if not the most) in a capital city. Not too sure what it is about Brussels but we came across several peeing objects during our time here, the girl squatting, and the dog with his leg cocked against a pole. I understand the boy (manneken pis) one as it is believed the boy was putting out a fire that was in the city but the others are quite funny to see and has been standing there since the 14th century. Well to the chocolate, everything you could possibly imagine here. Big debate one who is the best.. Swiss or Belgium?? We are still undecided so will move onto other information which seems to be ... read more

A smaller little city north of Amsterdam is Haarlem. Not far at all actually with only fifteen minutes on the train and is perfect for a day trip from Amsterdam but we managed to stay for two nights in the end. It is also a great alternative base than Amsterdam to not only for the tourist to Amsterdam but the locals for the cheaper prices and much quieter streets. It has all the charm that is expected in a small tourist town but unlucky for us the weather turned bad for the two days we were visiting and constant storms were coming and going. We did still manage to do some walking around the city, no major tourist attractions just small alleys ways and much cleaner dykes that the ones in Amsterdam. We pretty much took ... read more

From Iceland we had a stopover in London for four nights. We were couchsurfing with a couple from NZ and they were fantastic. We ended up spending more time with them than exploring London, well we both have been before several times so not too much new things to visit. On our first day we went and had lunch with Erin which was very nice, well Diana had some grubs in her food but other than that it nice. Something freaky about the place Erin is living in, it is the exact same place I rented two years ago! Out of all the places in London to live we ended up in the exact same place without knowing is very freaky if you ask me. Well we walked around quite a lot for the first two ... read more

Waking up overlooking the magnificent fjord and bird crap all over the tent and car was an interesting way to start the morning. We had planned to do a whale watching tour in the morning but further investigation informed us that the bigger whales had been gone for 1 ½ months and only can see dolpins which we have done before so no need to spend 50 Euro on that. We headed away to Akureyri which is the bigger city of the North and is like all the other places located in a magnificant location. We actually prefer this city than the capital Rekeyvik as it is a lot nicer with the buildings and things to do. We checked out the strange looking church and had the local ice cream (the main thing the tourist people ... read more
