A shirtle?!

So, Luxembourg. Famous for... being small? [Much like Angus.] It turns out Luxembourg has slightly more to be proud of; it was the founding member of the UN and the EU, produces lots of steel and only has fun in a very serious way.
Luxembourg wasn't a place we expected to run into any language problems as it is officially trilingual, speaking German, French and Luxembourgish. We guessed that if people didn't speak much English it was no big deal as between the two of us we have a basic grasp of two out of the three. It turns out the most commonly spoke is Luxemburgish which unfortunately wasn't high on the list of things to learn.
So far basic French and English is just about working, if you ignore George's raw meat sandwich and our banana, cherry and lemon smoothies. Yummmy... After a quick exit from that cafe we hurried off to find cake and tea. Luckily we successfully found both under one rather nice roof!

We spent the afternoon in much the way we've spent every day; wandering around, being witty and taking photos, only this time we decided the country was small enough to invade too. Further updates on how the invasion is going after our curry!

So far Luxembourg seems nice, very pretty!
The photos can do the talking!



Traditional Luxembourg/Italian meal...


Luxembourg is so small there's sign posts to German towns in the middle of the city!
Like they've accepted the fact people are probably only driving through!







The city is on two levels!



We found a nice park :]








Some successful invading!


"So what can we add to our window display to make our shop stand out?"
"Hmmm, well what's the logical accompaniment to suits?"
"I have a pet turtle? He likes suits..."
"Perfect! We shall make him a small pool by the shirts in the window."
"Now everyone will buy our suits!"
