Going to Luxembourg for the Weekend

6/30

I woke up a little early this morning so that I could get to the train station with Tyler. We’re going to Luxembourg City for the weekend. I don’t know what is going to be there but I’m interested in seeing a new country. The train ride was about 3 hours long and we both slept most of the way there. Once we got to Luxembourg we went to the bed and breakfast that we were staying at. Luckily there was a bus that took us straight there. We checked in and then left right away to explore the city. While we were walking around we saw the Adolphe Bridge, Place de Metz and many other interesting places. We also had the chance to take a bus tour throughout the city that showed us some of the most popular areas. On the tour they mentioned that there used to be many more historical buildings but they aren’t around anymore and the areas have been turn into business districts which disappointed me. I had thought that the city would have old buildings but a lot of it is just concentrated in one area. Tyler and I spent the entire afternoon and part of the evening walking around and seeing everything. I think that going to Luxembourg City could have been a day trip but it was still nice to have a place to sleep and not have to take a 3 hour train ride at night. Once we got back to the place that we were staying we just watched tv for a while; the majority of it was in French other than the BBC Network. I went to bed soon after that.
