LUXEMBOURG - 01-02.11.2007
The border post: proof I was there, at least!
The whole city is built around a Great Big Hole In The Ground: I'm looking over it from one of the two huge bridges that span it
Another view across the Great Big Hole In The Ground
Who says Luxembourgish beer is just crap lager? The Ourdaller Brewery does not agree...
...Nancy The Tavern Wench graces the bottle of the Wäissen
And here's where I found it! Banana's, on Avenue de Monterey.
One of the Grand Dukes is immortalised in this statue
The Palais Grand-Ducal (slap bang in the middle of the city)
A commemorative garden (of some sort) in the Great Big Hole In The Ground
I'm not sure what this is, but I'd say it was important...
Cornelys Haff, in Heinerscheid... home of the Ourdaller Brewery
