Luxembourg City

October 21nd (continued)...

Well, after a pleasant morning at Larochette, we carried on to Luxembourg City. I decided to make this another entry just to give me a chance to post some more photos of this beautiful country. Basically, we had a great time walking around the very clean and quaint (and expensive) city streets, and checking out the massive fortifications on the edges of the city. We enjoyed a pleasant lunch and a few hours later headed back to Utrecht, Holland. It was another really nice day.

When we arrived the kids were so happy that they decided to dance with some of the locals!


Our kids sure love having fun for the camera.


A beautiful view of the ancient bridges leading over the river. When I took this photo we were standing high up on one of the stone walls built onto the natural rocky cliffs.


This is a photo from the bottom of the huge walls (from where I took the last photo).


A peaceful spot behind the medieval bridge along the water.


Some quiet and clean streets in Luxembourg. A very nice area where you could either go down to the lower parts of the city, or climb back into the busy higher streets.


The Grand Duke's palace in Luxembourg City. If you look closely you can see that they actually have an armed guard in the front. No, I don't mean the old lady with the handbag - although she does look quite serious.


Here's to a great day and a half in Luxembourg!

Cheers!
