One of the best things about our way of life here on the European waterways are the people you meet. A number of yesrs ago , 2009 , we met a lovely family from Luxembourg when we were on the Burgundy Canal. Josée, Armand and their 3 gorgeous daughters Christne, Anne Marie & Catherine. We shared locks together for 2 days as we made our way towards Dijon. Since then we have kept in touch, & met up a few times ., always great times and lots of laughs.
So it was wonderful to be in Luxembourgish waters and to have the chacne of more time together.
Saturday we were treated to a rather special day, our own private guides in Luxembourg City. Knud had been here 40 years ago and was underwhelmed to say the least, but boy oh boy did he change his mind by the end of the day. Personally my first tine here and I fell in love with the place, think it will become my new favourite city.
Luxembourg built on a series of hill tops with a deep river gorge running through. Needless to say fortifications built and fought over in the past 1000 years, much renovation work has been done in the past 40 years and city looking very well cared for and loved.
Armand, Josée, & Knud as we are about to set off on our walking tour
A rather serious Cake Shop, what better place to stop for a reviving coffee and cake. Just opposite the Royal Palace for those needing to know
Knud on the Lion, there is a photo of Knud taken 40 years ago on very same lion, just took a little longer to get up on it this time.
A wonderful day with great friends.
