Friday 3rd August
Time to visit Luxembourg City. The capital city of Luxembourg is quiet, clean and well maintained. We visited the church of Our Lady which had a truly fantastic organ and lots of glittery and ornate things on the altar, good stained glass windows and frescos, especially the man sporting bunny rabbit ears as spotted by Cadan. There is truly, on the ceiling, if you don’t believe us, go and see for yourself!
After this we traipse off to see the Palais Grand Ducal, the official royal residence of the Duke and Duchess of Luxembourg. It has an attractive and ornate façade and is surprisingly smack bang in the middle of the street with very little security. A few steps away is the main square with street café’s and a play park surrounding the statue of Grand Duc William II. Jon enjoyed an Irish coffee whilst I enjoyed a toilet run and bottom wiping – um something is up here I think! Anyway, Luxembourg was a nice city, if a little tres chic and expensive. It seems to be on two levels, with the town perched up high, on the second level there is a park situated under the numerous bridges, meandering around the bottom of the city.
