Echternach, Luxembourg Part 3

 

Today we went on a walk of about 6 or 7 miles.  It was beautiful.  It took a lot longer than we thought it would because we kept finding things, besides walking, to do.  Like picking blackberries.

  we ended up with enough berries to give some away and still have berries for cereal for 3 days  (then we found some more)

Here are some scenes from our walk to Bergoff.

        

 

         

      

      

 

  neat cave where we were told hippies used to smoke stuff.

 

   an association with our country.  2 km from our farm, in Osweim,  we saw this plaque.  Small world.

                                                       just beautiful flowers we have never seen before

Tomorrow we leave here for Copenhagen.  We get a ride to Germany, remember just across the bridge in Echternach, 3 km away.  There we take a bus to Trier, Germany.  Then a train to Koln, Cologne to you, then another overnight train to Copenhagen, where we spend the night before boarding the Emerald Princess for our cruise toward home.

We have mixed feelings about getting nearer to the end of the European part of our journey.  We have seen so much.  Castles and churches and town walls and wonderful people.  We hate for it to end, but on the other hand, we look forward to seeing Scotland and Ireland…..wait a minute, isn’t that still Europe?  And then we go to Iceland and Greenland.  Still, this train travel part is almost over.  Some days we are looking forward to returning home, other days we would just love to keep on keeping on.  I guess it depends on what time it is and how tired we are feeling.

Now that I have caught up on posting the next post will probably be from the ship.  Sorry I got so far behind, but as you can see, we were busy.
