Luxembourg

In Luxembourg we stayed in a hotel in Roeser which is in a small town on the outskirts of Luxembourg City, we chose it because it had good bus transport into the city centre which would save us worrying about driving into the main area. 

We found the hotel easy enough, we arrived mid morning which was before the official booking in time but told them we were there and asked if we could put our bags somewhere safe. They let us put our bags into our room even though it wasn't ready so while we were there we checked out the wifi reception. As soon as we arrive somewhere we like to tell family we have arrived safe and sound. Once that was done we headed into town, complete with bus timetables and instructions from the receptionist. 

Catching the bus there and back was easy enough but left us a bit confused as we didn't pay, on the way into the centre, we offered to pay the bus driver but he waved us away. Watching others get on nobody showed a ticket, paid or flashed a travel card. On the way back we saw a ticket machine but it only offered short term or long term tickets, so again we were going to ask the driver and once more we didn't pay! 

Luxembourg City centre was interesting to wander around but after a short time we found that there wasn't too much more to see. We went into the old town and the problem is that a lot of the old buildings in there have modern shops on the ground level, and so many of them can be seen in other major cities. They still had a C&A though, that got us reminiscing, a real blast from the past. 

There were some interesting features and buildings around so we managed to while away a few hours. 

                                       At the edge of the Old Town you did get lovely views. 

The building below was built in the mountain side. 

We found this small cave which was fenced off. 

I was quite excited to see a dovecote with pigeons in it. 

In the evening we went for a wander geocaching which saw us walking from our hotel,  out of our small town and into nearby villages. It was a very pretty walk, A few grassy areas had been left to grow so that there were wildflowers in them. Signs were up,  which although we couldn't read them seemed to say that  they were being left to help insects. 

The next day we head for Germany.
