Trip Day 46 – Luxembourg

Well the trains are back on so out into the chilly 6 deg morning I go, when I woke it was raining heavily but now at 10.30 it has stopped. I have time for breakfast as I wait for the 11.37 train, this will get me to Luxembourg by 2.45 pm.

The train trip is a pretty one climbing through low mountain passes, forests of pine, birch and elm line the route, there leaves changing colour and already a carpet of leaves covers the forest floor. Breaking through the forests I am meet with pastures filled with cows, mainly dairy, the green grass covering the rolling fields.

Arriving in Luxembourg my first task is to see if I can get on a train to Paris tomorrow, the only trains to Paris are the TGV fast trains, the only spots available are on the 6.45am trains, otherwise they are booked solid for 2 days, nothing like an early morning start, this will get me into Paris by 8.30am. gives me all day to get to my hotel.

I head off to find my hotel, and once checked in it is off to explore the city, it is a 10 min walk to the city centre and it doesn’t take long to wish I had my 2 nights instead of one as Luxembourg is a pretty place, I get most of my photos done and am walking back towards my hotel when it starts to rain and then hail, so here am I walking the streets with my green umbrella in the hail, apparently this is common for this time of year, another month and the snow will be falling I am told.
