Luxurious Luxembourg

Albeit a very small country, and a very pricey one at that, Luxembourg does have plenty of charm!

Coming from Belgium into Luxembourg we could instantly see a difference. We didn’t have long to visit this beautiful country before we were meeting up with family just across the border in Germany. 
We started our trip going to visit Burfeit in the Naturpark Oewerauer for a walk. We were supposed to go on a hike, but made it 1 km to the view point and saw people down on the beach below enjoying the crystal clear waters, and we wanted to do that instead! Sadly though when we drove there we had to pay €3 per hour for parking, so we decided against that. We did enjoy some cute plasticine drawings done on the trees, by what we presume could have been a school trip! Very cute!

We drove through stopping at a couple of picturesque towns such as Vianden, Beaufort, Larochette and Mullertal, before going to Naturpark Our. Sadly we didn’t get any good photos of these!!

Whilst visiting our family, we all went into Luxembourg City. Once we went for a wonder around the town, enjoying the scenic views around the old town, and then we went another time as there was a local summer festival on, with rides and bars.

Looking back on 2023

Image
As it is the last day of 2023, we thought it would be nice to reflect on the year we have had. And what a year it has been. From spending last Christmas at a pet sit in Palairos, Greece, to this Christmas being on the beach in South Italy, it has been filled full of so many adventures as well as losses and a return trip home.   We sadly lost our Campervan Luna, who got us home limping, to then fail dramatically her MOT (yearly safety check), where they said at any minute the whole chassis could have fallen out! But she got us home safely, just. This meant we had to decide whether to get another Campervan or change our travel plans. We chose to get another one, this one is also a Ford Transit, but bright orange and called Solero! Clearly this left us with some financial difficulties as we had to find the money for a new van, but luckily with plenty of work we managed to scrape together what we needed. And then converted it to much the same design as Luna, which has allowed us to vent

Turkey and all it's delight

Image
A country that never ceased to amaze us at how big it is! You think where your heading is only an hour or so away, 4-5 hours later you arrive! So in hindsight, spending 5 weeks there just wasn’t enough and we would love to go back and take our time, maybe 3 months. And the people, wow, so hospitable.. within our first few days of being there we met some locals, who brought us a cup of Turkish tea each, and then recommended a beautiful bay to stay in. So we went there the next day, and the family was there, so they gave us more tea, plus some freshly caught fish! The locals are also so kind to the stray dogs, sometimes even paying out fo them to be neutered or spayed.   The bay recommended to us by locals Hammock out right away in Turkey Breakfast with a cow! Got the recording studio out! You may be aware already, but the cost of fuel in Turkey is so cheap, we were paying around €0.90 a litre, plus sometimes you’d even get a free cup of Çai (tea) with it! This helped balance out the cos

24 hours in Intriguing Istanbul

Image
A little blog post on our time in Istanbul, especially written for our friends Brett and Alan.  The buzzing city of Turkey, with mosques and bazaars, and a lot of culture and history. We spent 24 hours in this amazing city. We tried our best to figure out the tram situation but from what we could work out, you either needed a tram card or small notes (10 and 5 Lyra and exact change). It is cheap though, at just under 10 Lyra for one way. It’s a shame we didn’t manage to figure it out, or should i say, had the time to figure it out, as it would have been nice to venture to the other parts on the other side of the bridges. We visited the Blue mosque but sadly it was closed for repairs for a couple of months. But we enjoyed it nonetheless from the outside. Hearing the call to prayer between the Blue mosque and the Ayasofya mosque opposite was really special, sounding as though they are singing to each other. We did head back to the Blue mosque in the evening when it was dark to see i
