I snuck out of the hotel here in Germany today! I saw that Luxembourg wasn’t too far and it would only cost me 30 euros to drive all the way to Luxembourg. The ride was nice. Some windy roads all the way there. It only took a little over an hour. I found an underground parking garage and winded my way down deep. Pretty interesting holes they got. For the whole day it ended up costing 17.5 euros for parking.
After parking the car I just started walking where I saw all the people walking. I got a surge of excitement after being in the hotel for the last few days couped up. What I noticed immediately was the rather intense diversity there. Every other person seemed to be a different color of skin and was speaking a different language. The languages I ended up hearing the most were French, German, English, and Spanish. I walked all over town and ran into some nice English girls that took my photo for me in front of an old castle. We ended up swapping information to maybe grab a beer later, but I was planning on leaving quite early before the sun went down. I went off on my own and got up to 20k steps just walking around and taking photos of things.
It’s a nice city. It actually feels really small. And the layers of buildings stacked around the mountainy hill thing at the center is kind of cool. But I can’t really say there’s anything that feels unique about Luxembourg. It really just feels like a medium sized city in Holland or Germany. But the people were quite nice. Not condescending that I couldn’t speak French the way I get in France sometimes.
I met up with the girls a couple hours later and we went to a chocolate milk place. It was pretty good but honestly not really anything special. But we had some pretty good conversations for about 2 hours. They are some young girls that just finished college and they are starting “real” jobs now.
They said they had to go get ready to have some drinks so I hopped in the car and wanted to stop in a little village on the way back to Morbach. It was pretty dark so I couldn’t really see anything but I found a Chinese food place that was pretty decent and ate there. Next time I go out there I will check out another village.
