Capturing the rest of our Belgium and Luxembour trip - I

Yes, you are right. We have been too laisy to update this blog. Nevertheless, we are back and you can consider this post as part of our New Year resolution to be back into the blogging mood.

So what happened in the rest of our tour through the French part of Belgium and Luxembourg.

Looking back at the trip, Spa was probably the place where we spent less time. I guess due to the fact that we didn't anything straight away to visit and that as far as we understood, most of the turistic places were closed due to the winter break. Only highlight of this part of the trip were the 5 euros we wasted in the local casino (although I have to say we battled the damn machine for a while).

We then decided to drive through the night until our next destination (Viaden), already in Luxembourg. And in good time we took that decision because this was clearly one of the highlights of our trip. Embedded in the splendid landscape of the Ardennes, Vianden is an amazing place where one can spend a couple of days. Although they promote a lot the fact that Victor Hugo spent there some time (only 3 months though), the city highlights are clearly the gothic churches, the ramparts and fortified towers of the small medieval town, dominated by the magnificent, restored castle and its simply amazing food (great yaar, great) ;-)



Viaden is also a vivid example that you can find portuguese people in every corner of the world. Here we even found a portuguese tradicional dance group.
