Luxembourg Loser

November 29, 2015March 6, 2020 By Ramblin' Randy

The Start of Something Special
My summer trip to Europe in 2015 was actually one of the events that first sparked my love for extreme travel. I checked off seven countries in less than two weeks. It was my first time seeing so many nations in a short amount of time and I loved it. I enjoyed being able to see so many different countries and cultures, hear so many different languages and taste so many different kinds of food, all at such a fast pace. It was exhilarating. It was at this moment when I realized that maybe seeing every country in the world was indeed possible.

But because this trip was at a time in my life before I traveled seriously, I took zero notes and–if you can believe it–just three measly photos in Luxembourg…a far cry from the hundreds of images from each country I capture nowadays! I had a nice time but I am only writing about the trip now–four years later–so the details on all of my specific activities are a little blurry.

Life is a Highway
For a guy with such little travel experience at the time–I’ve only been traveling seriously now for four years; Luxembourg was my 31st country–looking back, I’m surprised I chose to drive in. Even now, just the thought of driving on foreign roads scare me! But I did it here! I landed in Frankfurt and rented a car to meet friends at Ramstein Air Force Base for dinner. The next morning, it was back on the road, headed to Luxembourg. I really enjoyed driving those clean and fast roads of Germany and Luxembourg. I especially loved that these were countries with people who knew how to drive, i.e. the left lane was strictly used for passing only. Don’t get me started.

Anyway, I enjoyed the hour and 45-minute drive immensely and for the most part it was smooth, except for a few tense moments once I got into the center of Luxembourg City. There was a decent amount of traffic and I was having a hard time finding my hotel. I was definitely driving like a tourist and could tell other drivers were losing their patience with me. But alas, I finally managed to find my hotel and a parking space. The car wouldn’t move until it was time to leave the next day! I’d walk for the remainder of my only day in Luxembourg.

Loser
I can’t believe I have only three photos of Luxembourg. I was such an amateur. But here they are…

Me…and some buildings…and the road. Exciting stuff.
Building!
Luxembourg’s national brew.

Aaaaand, that’s it! That’s all I have. How lame, right? I don’t recall much at all about Luxembourg. I do remember I enjoyed staying at Hôtel Le Châtelet…they gave me a big room and that was nice. And I remember taking a walk into town, and how the streets were pretty lively. But that’s it…senile moment here; I don’t remember much else of what I did, saw or ate…which is one of the primary reasons for this website: I use it as a personal travel journal; to record all my memories, so one day when I’m really old, I can look up these blogs and relive my trips.
