Our real first holiday together: Luxembourg

Image
📍 Luxembourg  One of the countries I've always wanted to visit is Luxembourg, and it finally happened last year!  I've never been to Luxembourg before and it's a country that is also nearby to my country The Netherlands. It was so nearby that we decided to go there by car. It was roughly 3,5 hours of a ride and a pleasant ride too. Especially me being passenger-princess ahem. I do know how to drive aaaand I took my duty as a map reader very seriously.  After we checked in at our hotel (next post: hotel room tour) we went exploring.  And it was not hard to find beautiful sceneries and views in the capital city of Luxembourg.  Chemin de la Corniche  Also called “the most beautiful balcony in Europe” And it's all free to enter too! We can't ignore the many churches here in Luxembourg-city so we went to check out Notre Dame Cathedral.  More good views.  And this one here is also a very good handsome view.  Admiring The Monument of Remembrance 'Gëlle Fra&#

Ypres

📍Ypres This is Ypres, a small yet charming picturesque town in Belgium with a remarkable WWI history.  We went to visit one of the town attractions: Belfort The Cloth Hall with its 70 metres (230 ft)-high belfry tower.  We have visited the In Flanders Fields Museum.  It's a museum inside the Belfort Cloth Hall building and tells you everything about World War I.  🪜 Belfry Tower My favourite part of the museum: climbing the Belfry Tower. You can walk around the tower and see the entire Ypres from 70m above. Very pretty! Dinner time We just went to one of the pizzerias for dinner and ordered pizza, pasta, and soup.  Soft serve with chocolate and a wafer as dessert!
