Liking Luxembourg


On our way to Belgium we travelled through Westfaphia (there’s a surprise) and stumbled across this little town called Rees, so of course we had to stay there!  It was a quaint wee town along the Rhine.



From there we travelled to Belgium stopping at the tri-border and walking up the viewing pathform some 361 stairs.  Enabling us to view Germany, Holland and Belgium all at once.

From there we continued until just over the border of Luxembourg where we camped in a town called Troisvierges.



Next day we cruised the 90 km into Luxemburg and caught up with our washing and chores.
Today we biked the 10 km into the city centre, then browsed the city before going on the underground casement tour in the city’s ancient tunnels.  All up there was 23 km of tunnel we were allowed in 1km.  The tour included 450 stairs.  This is a world heritage site and still had one original cannon dating back to 1834.    The actual casement was built in 1644. 





After our tour we cruised the town and ended up at their equalivent of Oktoberfest, but to us more like a carnival, it opened today for the next few weeks.  I wanted Daryl to shoot and win a Smurf, but he chickened out and said there’s no room after all the gadgets I’ve purchased.



Oh, by the way Mildred got another gadget for her collection today; it will go finely with her toaster, Nobit and new cooker.



 Tomorrow we head back to Belgium.
