Luxembourg


Still Tuesday, March 30 – 3 hour bus ride and a pit stop in Luxembourg. We were only there for about 1 ½ hours, but that was enough time. It was a very small, cute little city we were in – the capital/downtown of the country I think. The cobblestone had cool designs in it everywhere we went. We saw a big sign in a store that said “boo” and the very next store over said “Marie’s lingerie” haha, weird! We walked around and saw the Palais Grand-Ducal (I think it’s the royal palace). There was a bunch of postcards of the royal family that the shops sold – family pictures and portraits of all of the members of the family individually – hilarious!! We went to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Luxembourg and then saw the huge bridge connecting two sides of the city (it’s their famous bridge, on all of the postcards). It was really pretty going over a little stream and a big park area. Luxembourg was nice, very small and slow paced, but cool to see.

Then, back in the bus, 3 hour ride to the next country…on the way, the countryside was BEAUTIFUL! It was sunny with and bright blue sky and bright, lush green grass, the mountains in the background, and the occasional small village. The colors were so vibrant, it was very picturesque; I felt like I was in a painting, it was unbelievable!
