Luxembourg

Caught the 09.30 train from Metz to Luxembourg. When I got to Metz station I found a seat near a charging point to top up mobile. I had inadvertently placed myself in the middle of a Police arrest! 2 Moroccans were being quizzed and had no ID. Just before I set off for the train they were carted away in cuffs. All very exciting......
Arrived in Luxembourg. It was freezing. Caught the tram to Centre Ville, alighted into a snow storm. I had a good wander round and warmed up with a Chocolat chaud at one of the little Xmas markets. Eventually I found the Cathedral, which was pretty uninspiring. I went in, just as an organ concert was taking place. According to the man I sat next to they happen from time to time so I was lucky. I failed to get a stamp in my book due largely to indifference of steward and the lack of a shop!! Also found a monument to Jews who died in the war called 'Kaddish'.
At this point, I was freezing from head to toe but took myself round the old part of the city that is high up and affords amazing views.
Next stop was the station and the next train back to Metz!
I dropped by the apartment and had a warm- up, then plunged into the Xmas atmosphere in the city. I bought a very tasty crepe sucre and munched it as I meandered about. I also did a bit of Xmas shopping and visited the covered market again.
Home to find, unsurprisingly, that the TV is broken so no TV at all. Read my kindle until about half nine and then went to bed. I was exhausted.En savoir plus
