Hollenfels to Aachen

Driving from Luxembourg city to Hollefels turned out to be quite an adventure... adjusting to the local road marker system at night truly tested Team Crusty's navigation abilities! Luckily Crusty Bill is not averse to asking directions, and we made it to the hostel with 10 minutes to spare (whew!).

We had a yummy breakfast in the morning and took lots of pictures and video of Hollenfels Castle, which was literally right next door to the hostel. (more pics & video to come....)

We set off for stop #1 of the day, Diekirch. The scenery on the way was gorgeous - hilly and very green. Diekirch turned out to be an adorable little town, so we walked around a bit before heading to the museum. The museum was HUGE and there was so much to see, it took us almost 2 hours to get through. We had a tasty lunch afterwards!

From Diekirch we headed to Bastogne for a beer stop, where Polkagrl had an interesting beer glass, and to see the monument and museum there. After Diekirch, this museum was a bit anticlimatic (but still very interesting). We climbed to the top of the memorial, which gave us a great view of the area. Afterwards, it was off to Aachen!

Diekirsch was fascinating and so "real". Wish I could have gone with you.
