A country of only 450,000 with the capital of the same name. The city has a population of 88,500 and is very important in the European Union. But first it was a stop to get a pickle in a can!
(Not sure why it's sideways)
The city was founded in the Roman era, but was taken over by Count Siegfried, who apparently had a wife who was a mermaid named Melusine.
It's a very picturesque city!
Then the 4 found out about Luxembourg beer, Bofferding, brewed first in 1764!
They enjoyed the beers over looking Luxembourg!
BTW all the beers in Luxembourg and Germany are only allowed 3-4 ingredients. Check out the facts yourself!
Then it was a tour of the Luxembourg Casemates!
Then it was off to Schengen, Luxembourg to stand on the borders of the 3 countries! France, Germany & Luxembourg!
They looked for the exact marker that points out where the three borders met.. At first they thought it was this..
Then they thought it was this..
Maybe it was this?
But really all three borders meet out there...
Oh well, might as well kiss at the borders of three countries..
They even had a piece of the Berlin wall nearby!
EuroTrip '11 officially ends tomorrow with a trip to the Frankfurt train station then a flight to Toronto...
Hi Maria & Colin,
ReplyDeletei have just found this photo while i was looking for some others...however: i am working on a project, which tracks the berlin wall memorials all over the world. this photo would fit very well into the project's website. i would like to invite you to this project and to upload this photo if you like to.
Further details you will find on the website http://the-wall-net.org (to see the Schengen post: http://en.the-wall-net.org/schengen-l/)
