Saturday morning and we thought we would drive to another country today so we headed off to Luxenburg which was only 200km away.  We had a hold up on the motor way and lost an hour so it took us 3 hours arriving about 12:30, finding a park and heading off to explore the city.  We headed off over a bridge where we could see some old buildings thinking that must be where all the action was.  It was very hot though not quite as humid as it had been in Maastricht.  There were all these grand old buildings and the road we were on was a main bus route but it was all very quiet.  We decided we were going the wrong way, maybe this was the government centre or something, lots of buses but very little cars or pedestrians.  We did find a place to have some lunch and then headed almost back to the car and off in another direction to find the busy part of the city.  We hopped on a tourist “train” which gave us a tour around the historic part of Luxenburg along with a commentary of the history.  It was really good and a lot more than I could absorb in one sitting, Luxenberg certainly had a long and checkered history going back to 962 and built around fortifications.  We wandered a bit more before heading back to our car four levels underground.

We had a clean run home arriving back in Maastricht around 7 o’clock.
