Luxembourg is shit

Post by Docca »

If you’re ever thinking ‘ooh, I wonder what it’s like in Luxembourg’

Well, it’s like Nigel Mansell doing an advert for a beige Ford Mondeo.

Massively under delivered. Nothing here apart from some poxy bridge.


Tomorrow it’s Geneva. I was also looking forward to visiting there.


I’m starting to get pangs for fucking Basingstoke.


Seriously, why does Luxembourg even exist?

The last time I remember being this disappointed about anything was when I got into a saucy situation with an older lady (who was probably younger than I am now) and her pubes were longer than my cock. Like playing Ikari warriors with a marshmallow

It was really useful a couple of times to get from France to Germany.

Last time I passed through (the city) I decided to stop for coffee, they'd closed most of it for some antique street market.

I thought it was a radio station. It's a country too? :o

Calling it a country is over selling it a bit.

The petrol and fags/tobacco used to be spectacularly cheap.

If you could find anywhere open to sell the stuff.

Pretty much that. ^^^

I actually had quite a pleasant overnight stop in a rural bit for one night there on one bike trip. The main bit looks as smug as Switzerland but without the nice scenery.

I had night in Remich, bordering Germany and thought it was very nice. River cruises, bars and barber's, don't remember what else, oh yeah, pizza's. Plenty worse about.

That might be where we were. I remember a stroll along the riverbank. Might have stayed at the Esplanade but not sure.

Nice steaks in Wemperhardt near the border to the north of Lux, El Toro’s. Gone a bit posh nowadays but the food is excellent, if you like steak from anywhere in the world.

I went there once. Somebody took me to a Luxembourgish restaurant. Think of it as a meeting of French and German cuisine.

The skill and technique of German cooking, with French portion size. :thumbdown:

I stayed in a nice Hotel on the east coast what was nice. Vianden. Nice bars, restaurants and people. I went as the castle looks a nice place to visit but it was shut :D Apart from that we used to go every year when i smoked as Route66 was a great cheap tobacco and booz shop. Used to get a years worth of tobacco and some extra to sell in the pub.
