Years ago I visited Luxemburg with my parents and sisters. Since this holiday I had a strange feeling about Luxemburg. I mountain biked a lot, hiked a lot and saw many of the cities. Since the moment we left Luxemburg that year, I knew I have to visit this country again in the future. And I did this summer.

A couple of years ago I visited Luxemburg together with my parents and my both sisters. That time I was surprised by the beauty of this country. But I don’t know much from this holiday anymore, because it was a turbulent period of me and my family. I only had some unclear memories from this fairy-like Esch-sur-Sure. This village we visited today. It’s a very sweet little city, but a bit boring. Nothing happen. There is only a candle factory and an old castle.

In half an hour we left Esch-sur-Sure and drove to Ettelbrück. This city surprised me, because it’s very modern. We walk through the city, saw some beautiful cars, an Audi R8 :D. And left Ettelbruck also very soon. The plan for the rest of the day was to go to Colmar-Berg where the Royal Family has a residence. After 500 meters Joël saw a Ford Mondeo ST220.

You see the princess??
In a couple of months he hopes to buy a new Ford Mondeo Station and wants to convert it to ST220 configurations. These days in Luxemburg he made a lot of pictures from the many Mondeo’s ST220 you see here, for inspiration.

Joël saw this model, which was in front a Ford dealership. We decided to visit this dealer to watch some new Ford models. But when we entered the garage our eyes popped out of our heads. This dealership was more than Ford, it also sold Aston Martin, Mustang models and Jaguars. It was such an experience, because in this garage stood a brand-new Aston Martin DBS. For everyone who don’t know anything about cars. Aston Martin is an English super car mark, which builds the most beautiful cars in the world (DB9) (my opinion). So there stood a new DBS and for the rest 3 DB9’s, many mustangs and an (original ??) Ford GT. Very special to see this all together and for us super car heaven.

 

After this little trip to heaven we came back to earth and drove to Colmar-Berg.

DB9, DBS, DBStijn :D
This village has two important places. First the Goodyear factory, which give work to half of Luxemburg factory workers. Not very special, only the test track (which was closed L)

The second place is the residence of the Royal Family. A beautiful castle in an even more beautiful park. I made a lot of pictures and when we walked around the castle wall, I made the plan to ask the security guy if it will be possible to speak to the (beautiful, (I thought)) daughter of the duke. Joël wasn’t very enthusiastic and thought that I only wanted to be funny. I was really serious at that moment. But I wasn’t brave enough (L). Later on I saw a better picture of the princes and she wasn’t as beautiful as I thought she was.

 

In the evening we had to cook, we had bought some rice, spinach and fish sticks. During the cooking Joël asked me: ‘Do we have some sauce for over the rice?’ I said: ‘No, why?’ We didn’t buy anything for sauce, but we had some marmalade. We warmed this marmalade and eat it together with the rice. A little bit strange combination, but it was eatable
