Day 21: Luxembourg Ruins

Thursday, 29th November, we drove to Luxembourg. Before heading to the city, we stopped in a small town in the north-west area of Luxembourg called Esch-sur-Sûre. Here we climbed their ruined castle and took in the view, just in time before the rain started (yes I realise my photo below has blue sky but the weather changes quickly).

Jumping back in the car out of the rain, we set off for Luxembourg City. Once there, it took us absolutely forever to find parking (just under an hour) and then we set off in search of lunch (it was now 3pm and food was a main priority!). After being surprised by the delicious meal we were given at the first [place we walked past, we headed to the tourist info centre to grab a map since daylight was slowly disappearing. Thankfully we had enough time to wander the streets of Old Town and check out the ruins before heading back into the very centre of the city and wandering the streets.

As the rain picked up again, we found the car and set off for the drive back to our accommodation (which was about an hour and half away, I think).
