Susanna's cousin's Hugh and Yvi had made numerous offers to come and visit them in the wee Grand (ironic isn't it) Duchy of Luxembourg. With another bank holiday long weekend in May, we decided to take them up on it. Hugh and Yvi are great hosts and we had a lovely time catching up with them, hanging out, having a BBQ, and playing with the dog, Nellie. It really reminded us of a NZ summer!
It may be a small country (you can drive the length of it in a couple of hours) but it is big on character. We really enjoyed exploring the historical part of Luxembourg city, driving along the Moselle and seeing all the vineyards, and exploring the North East with a visit to Vianden and the gorgeous old castle. The weather was amazing too! On our final day there we just nipped over the border to Germany and spent the day in Trier, an old Roman town with a great amphitheatre, Roman bath ruins and a huge basilica, which was originally part of the Roman palace. Here are some of the pics
