Road trip to Luxembourg

After quite a long drive from Geneva, (in our new car), we finally arrived to Luxembourg. This is where we are staying!

Okay, no not really. This is the Chateau de Beaufort, a magnificent castle dating back to the 12th century. Here we are with mum's friend Warrick (a kiwi) and Ellen (a dutch) and their three girls, who drove down from the Netherlands.

The waiting room for guests.

 You can see a model of the castle inside of the castle, of what it looked like in all its glory.

 All the girls relaxing in the castle courtyard.

Not far from Beaufort, we went to Echternach for a spot of lunch (chap at the back wanted to join in the picture too). This little town is on the border with Germany so had a very german feel to it.

But of course, in every little town, there is a beautiful church.

The next day we spent in the big city of Luxembourg.

 And from its fortified walls, you can see spectacular views of the city.

 Who knew it was so high in some parts?
