17. Bastogne to Luxembourg

Today firstly we headed to Bois Jacques Foxholes, where the American soldiers managed to stand against the Nazis. It was really real life as there was an App to download which made it virtual reality to what the woods would have looked like and the soldiers fighting in the holes which were infront of us. Felt quite humbling to be in a place where some of the finest American soldiers fought over an extremely cold winter.

Afterwards we headed to the Nuts musuem which was great to look around. We are glad we did the museums over 2 days so you can appreciate it better. This musuem had a story which you followed which really brought back what Bastogne went through, the whole town was bombed and barely standing.

We then chose a campsite for tonight as we both need to have a shower and headed through Belgium to Luxembourg. It is really nice here and suprisingly cheap, when you consider how wealthy Luxenbourg is, the tiny country has over 260 Billionaires and the average house price is 1.3 million Euros. Nurses are paid nearly £90,000 here. We haven't gone far into the country as not many places to stay, but the drive here was beautiful. Starting to feel a little like the Alps wierdly.

After giving the inside of the van a deep clean, walking Maddy and having a shower. We had some Turkey snitzels for tea and then watching a film on our recently spotted 'hairline cracked Laptop'... Arghhh!Läs mer
