Luxembourg City

Pic of the day: This picture sucks, I'm not going to lie, I hope that you are not dissapointed. I gave my camera to an old man and should have known better... he didn't understand the concept of getting the view (other than our beautiful selves) in the pic, and he proceeded to look through the mini viewfinder making a huge greasy nose print on my LCD screen... Photography was not his calling....

After a fantastic trip to Nancy, France, We hit the rails for Luxembourg. At first it seemed a little confusing, as none of us speak the national language- Luxembourgish. Thats right, the language of Luxembourgish. We decided that there are only about 3/4 of a million people in the whole world who actually speak it. After seeking direction frm the french-speaking host at the ´Best Western`, we decided to take bus #126 for the Bock Casemates; or city walls. We all agreed that they were very impressive, and we spent a good amount of time there. They have a fantastic view of the old city, and dated back to the construction of the original fortress. From there we headed to the campground. It is 5 kms out of town, which is almost out of the country in any direction. It resembled the campgrounds that we generally like to make fun of: full of concrete and neatly manicured lawns. After that we headed for a very interesting game of minigolf, one of the holes required ramping your ball into a net. Jander dominated us, then we went to bed after brusing our teeth to the sound of 'Quit playin games with my heart' by the backstreet boys. Thankfully they did not play this one in Luxembourgish.
