Getting fed and rained on in Luxembourg City

-

The inevitable just happened; we got rain that day. 
In a country such as Luxembourg with a land climate, it was bound to happen to rain anyway, even in the Summer of 2023. So here's what we did and spent our day in Luxembourg City!



Luxembourg has many depths—literally and figuratively. We were glad that the winding roads through the city were connected by beautiful bridges like this one.

I giggled here as we stood together like colleagues. 

I could definitely use those road signs to guide me, but my boyfriend only needs a quick glance at Google Maps and his uncanny sense of direction takes care of the rest. So basically, I just trust and follow him.

Follow the lead.


Luxembourg City History Museum
Tip: On Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. you can enter the museum without paying an entrance fee!

Behind me is this fascinating elevator. 

Of what I can remember, this History City Museum of Luxembourg City is quite interesting with diverse topics, such as how the city was built, to objects that are found over time. I did not get bored once. 

And he, as a historian, did neither. 


Of course, it didn't rain all day.

~ Ladurée ~
Ah, finally a bucket list moment unlocked: visiting a Ladurée café.

At the same time at the back of my mind, this is probably a bit overrated and unnecessarily wasting my money too. Or at least that is what my bf says. Nonetheless, it was my money and I was treating us both.
So he has no choice but to sit down and join me :)

I got myself a tart with a strawberry on top so cute, it felt wrong to gobble it up.

A pistachio eclair for Mr.

I also tried the infamous hot cacao. The texture was quite thick, but since the weather was rainy and chilly, it was a comfy, heartwarming drink. But would I order it again? Probably not.

Then we went to a department store. 

SEED
And then it was dinner time. We tried Seed as it was empty and hoped that not all tables were reserved. 

And hurray, we got a table for two! Pssst, it's an all-friendly-vegan place too!

I got a veggie burger while my other half got a delicious and much healthier-looking poke bowl.
As they say in Luxembourg: Gudden Appetit!

EN Or you can call them ‘scrubbies’ but I use them to create whip cream for my crochet cakes and cupcakes! They also make great home decorations by putting them into a maison jar!

NL Of ze worden ook wel ‘scrubbies’ genoemd en ze zijn bedoeld om je lichaam mee te wassen en te scrubben.

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break.

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten. En natuurlijk ook heerlijk uitslapen hoort erbij maar de laatste tijd ben ik super productief geweest met haken. Mijn meest recente werkjes - het bladerdeeg/br...
