transit obligatoire? you would see this sign in every highway (autobahn) now and then if you drive around luxembourg - but why?  - well luxembourg for many drivers is just a drivethrough country going to the south and eastern part of western europe like belgium, france and some parts…

I was in Luxembourg for training, and the pictures here are from my stay in the city.

An alarm sound and the sound of a walrus woke us this morning. The alarm sound came from my mobile phone, to say that it was seven o’clock and that we need to wake up for our trip to Luxemburg city. The sound of the walrus came from the neighbour. She snores very loud. The first night we though…

I moved on to see yet another friend, Christine, this time in Trier, Germany. While she was studying for exams, I decided to spend the day in the tiny country of Luxembourg, which was only 40 minutes away. Being one of those people who prefers winter over summer, I generally refuse to adm…

Frankfurt-Hahn Airport doesn't have a train station so we thought we might not be able to make it to Luxembourg after all. However, a quick text to a friend with internet access told us that we could catch a bus to Luxembourg City from the bus station next to the airport. We managed to catch the …

My husband and I have been living in the capital of Luxembourg since August. Although it is a very small country, there is a lot to see and do. Germany, France and Belgium are all less than an hour away.

Luxembourg 2007

Having not set an alarm the night before, we awoke with a hangover at about 1pm and were dismayed to have missed breakfast, by a good 4 hours! Fear not though, as we soon discovered that lunch was being served up and it was BBQ! We wolfed down as much as our stomachs would allow and have full belli…
