Canton d'Esch-sur-Alzette

Yet another lovely breakfast and off we headed to explore Luxembourg City.

Actually drove right into a convenient Parking garage and headed off to amble around the walkway around the old city, looking down upon it. Mike in pursuit of a Brewery near the top end of the Old town. Again! Blessed with sunny warm skies!! Uncanny. Down, down and around to arrive at an area that could have been great fun in evenings. Stopped to try a beer at their brewery - was being decorated for Oktoberfest - was good as always. Strolled back, passing Microsoft and Amazon major offices. And Mikey found the Lift!! To take us back up to right beside our Carpark - all in the fun of exploring and adventure when travelling. Just a gorgeous area.

Decided to take a drive through "the Switzerland of Luxembourg". I was expected more of Heidi like scenes - this was lovely however not the same. Very pretty though. Found a precious town ...and stopped for cappuccino- just ok but the town was pretty and looking up we saw another castle to explore! 'Twas cool with stairs going up and up - how did they manage to carry all the goods to such heights in those days?? Second castle of 7 in the area - cool history.

Off again, now getting a tad hungry so stopped in another small town near the German border after popping across the border so Britt could step into her 4th country. Many places closed..hard to find parking but we did, I found Oliver a precious wee jacket at 1/2 price, found a bakery and sat in the sun munching yummy sandwiches followed by pastries!! Nice!!

A rest in our sumptuous lovely rooms in our castle and all of a sudden it was time for our driver to take us to a Michelin one star restaurant. Quite the trick to find the place - Queyan C.....?? and upon arrival..all looked closed and dark. Our driver telephoned and out popped a person from the restaurant we were to be at - just next door - ohh to be there in the summer - the patio would be divine - all the tables set up exquisitely.

Dinner - our reactions were that the meal and place the night before outshone the....., however, Britt's soup was fabulous... had a savoury ice cream in it - delightful. Our 'lamb' with couscous was 'surprising' - soooo much couscous! Waiters weren't too friendly with helping us understand the menu. My oysters while large were remarkable! Dessert.....

And ohhh the ride 'home' to our Castle....15 minutes longer - we definitely went back into Belgium but still the driver cost came in the same and we were 'safe' and home in our Castle bedrooms and to sleep after yet another great adventure. Czytaj więcej
