Luxembourg

After a very good night’s sleep we spent a couple of hours taking photographs of the city. 









We then departed about 11am and walked for about 8km, before we managed to get a lift in a car driven by an American air force sergeant.  He drove right across the German frontier to Trier, where we put up at the youth Hostel.  The hostel here is extremely large and modern – excellent!

We spent some time seeing the sights in Trier, including the Cathedral, the Church of St. Gangolf, the Porta Nigra (Roman gate) , the 10^th Century Market Cross, and the Roman Ampetheatre.  The town is historically very interesting, with many delightful tudor-type houses to be seen.  Unfortunately the weather is most wretched and held us up somewhat.  We spent a pleasant night at the hostel.
