Ibis Styles
27 juillet, Luxembourg ⋅ 🌧 64 °F
Well, it looks cool. But the room is SO small. My suitcase was too big to go around the bed. Thankfully, I'm only here one night, so I'll be fine.

The Journey
28 juillet, Luxembourg ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
Since I went down the Pfaffenthal Panoramic Elevator, everywhere I went was uphill. Hindsight, I should have gone back up and just run across the bridge. On my directions, i couldn't tell I was goingEn savoir plus

General Patton

Outside Palace
28 juillet, Luxembourg ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
It's hard to tell, but that is a light post, and it has a face in the opening. It gets even creapier. The face is made so that it is an optical illusion, and its eyes seem to follow you.

Wenzel

I found out that the path was in honorEn savoir plus
