The next day we all got up & showered & headed into Luxembourg City in Milly, we parked near to the town centre & went shopping its a really nice clean town & we all enjoyed. On the way back to the car park we jumped on a road train & had a guided tour of part of the City. We also called in the tourist information office, where we picked up some maps & guides. I asked the girl on the counter where I could find a Mammoth store, she laughed at me & asked did I mean Mammout, so I drew a hairy elephant, she laughed again & explained that they closed down before she was born & now they are called Cactus, we picked up some maps & guides & then we then went for food at Quick burger & wandered around the town:-

After our day in Luxembourg we traveled back to the camp site, stopping in Cactus on the way. Shopping took ages the store was huge I got laughed at again here when I asked the shop assistant for Lamb, she didn't know what I was on about so I made sheep noises. She pointed at the cabinet behind me which had meat with Welsh Lamb written on the label. It was about twice the price of Lamb back home & ironically the Lamb sold at home says New Zealand lamb on it, still we had a feast for tea:-


Traveling back to camp we then stumbled on an American war cemetery, coincidentally it was the 4th of July, it was quite sobering to see all these grave stones of young men in the prime of their life killed in action. The men were from all over America & I couldn't help thinking why would they give a toss for a country half a world away from them, they gave up their lives in the USA to help restore peace in Europe. I'm not ashamed to say I had tears in my eyes. Its nice that 65 years on the place still looked like new & it was obviously very well looked after. I even found a Jones among the headstones. These young men gave up their tomorrows so that we could have our today:-

A Jones obviously an unknown distant family member, very sad!




Genaral Pattern, its not only the low ranks that lost their lives



The place looks like it was just built its very well looked after, I'm just grateful none of my family were killed in the war. After this sobering experience, we headed back to the camp. It was a very somber experience seeing all those graves of young men that gave up their tomorrow so that we could have our today.

When we got back we had a BBQ feast, played a card game called UNO which the girls bought on the ferry until the rechargeable light ran out.
We liked Luxembourg so much we decided to stay a little longer.

On Tuesday we got the bus from outside the camp-site at 10.00 after a 2 minute wait. We caught bus No. 170 into the City again, it was well worth visiting a second time for a better look, we went into the cathedral (Notre Dam of Luxembourg) & around the terraced gardens & had a picnic on a patch of grass in the city:

After visiting the cathedral we walked around the many terraced gardens:-
