…so we’re making it a good one. We had a lovely meal in Esch last night, which we’re particularly grateful for because so many restaurants have been closed at this time of year in the small villages we’ve visited in Luxembourg After each having a different 3-course set menu and feeling suitably full, we wandered...

It’s our last full day of holiday today so we’ve spent it relaxing in Esch-sur-Sûre. Tomorrow, we drive back up to Dunkirk, ready to catch the ferry back to Dover on Sunday morning. Two weeks have flown by! The morning began with a lie in, then croissants and coffee for breakfast. Three ducks, who’d also... Continue Reading →
We’re staying in Esch-sur-Sûre drive for our last 2 nights in Luxembourg. On the way there, we decided to visit Bourscheid where there’s a (yet another) castle and lots of walking routes. Following Google Maps to a supermarket on the way, we had a minor drama in Diekirch. We saw the sign and turned into... Continue Reading →
It was raining hard when we woke up this morning. Oh well… lazy day it is, I thought, quite looking forward to a rest. I decided to take my umbrella and wander into town to the bakery to pick up some treats for breakfast and lunch. The bakery in Vianden is highly recommended online, with... Continue Reading →
We left Berdorf today and started to move back north. After paying the bill, emptying the bins, toilet and waste tank and topping up the fresh water, we set off to Beaufort. Beaufort Castle was built in four phases between 1015 and 1650 and, therefore, has Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance features. Castles in Luxembourg have... Continue Reading →
I love photographing waterfalls so I’ve been wanting to visit Schéissendëmpel since we arrived in the Müllerthal region. These falls on the Black Ernz river are really pretty, surrounded by mossy green rocks, with an attractive stone bridge above. I found a hike that went past the falls and we took the bus to Consdorf,... Continue Reading →
We’ve had a very long hike today (19 kilometres or 12 miles in old money) and, although my little legs are tired, it’s been wonderful… more beautiful views, woodland, caves and clefts. In hindsight, we should have done the walk the other way round because we ended up visiting most of the more popular sites... Continue Reading →
We chose to do a bike tour today, downloading a 50 kilometre route from the website for the Müllerthal region, which really is excellent, with lots of suggestions for things to do. We started on top of a relatively high plateau at Berdorf, which meant we were going to finish with a big climb! The... Continue Reading →
We’ve had a fabulous walk from the campsite today, exploring a trail leading through and around amazing rock formations in beautiful woods. It was only meant to be 4 kilometres long but ended being 6 or 7 with all the exploring we did, then 9 with a detour for something to eat in Berdorf. As... Continue Reading →
Today we’ve left Camping Kockelscheuer, which was perfect to visit Luxembourg City. We've moved to Camping Martbusch in Berdorf, where we plan to do lots of hiking and cycling. The country is so small, it doesn't take long to travel anywhere! After the obligatory croissants for breakfast, we packed up and hit the road via... Continue Reading →
