Got up, had breakfast then out for a bit of a walk. Song had remembered that there was a Michaelangelo sculpture in the cathedral around the corner so we went to see it – Madonna and Child.
Carried on walking, bought some chocolates and the streets were beginning to fill up again so we took the bus to the train station and settled in for the trip to Luxembourg – with a change at Lieges. The trip was pleasant, we followed a river most of the way and were in a valley. Song wanted to stop at Luxembourg – after the Panama papers were revealed we thought we’d better check on the mountains of cash we’d squirreled away. Not really – Song just wanted to see it, plus it’s a country I’d been to that she hadn’t and she’s trying to catch up.
Pulling into Luxembourg was spectacular – the city is built on a hill and there were bridges and old city walls and castles all around. Dumped the bags at the station and went for a walk along the old walls with great views. The weather was nice, overcast but not cold. Followed a tour group because they seemed to know where they were going and ended up in the main square with lots of restaurants, so found one that looked decent and each had a pizza. I was going to have a beer but decided against it as I didn’t want to exceed the weight allowance of the plane.
The pizzas were ok, quite nice. We headed back to the station to pick up the bags and on to Metz.
