I know some of you haven´t heard about this silent country yet, nor did I. I just paid a visit since it´s already near Belgium, which I´m glad I did, ´cause this country has a lot to offer especially when it comes to History. Heard about the Allied Powers ? No?! Well, you gotta go back to school and listen to your History teacher. LOL!
Seriously, Luxembourg was my 3rd and last stop on my first 9-days vacation from work in Germany. It is a very nice country which you can add up to your list if you are planning to make a world tour (like me) someday!
