What's Up Al ? 遊記隨筆 生活點滴

Despite Luxembourg's high profile reputation as a major banking and finance centre in the world, we found the city to be very peaceful and had an village vibe in the air. But the city's traffic problems were not to be scoffed at, so we parked our car in one of the many underground car parks, Monterey; just a 10 minutes' walk from the "The Most Beautiful Balcony In Europe" - Le Chemin de la Corniche ! First thing first, the car park was quite impressive as we were not expecting to circle 5 storeys underground to find a space, but at last, whew ! We enjoyed the early Autumn air and wandered around this orderly city, no car horns, no pedestrians rushing around and green parks at every turn. We made our way to the UNESCO-lauded Le Chemin de la Corniche - an overhang from an ancient castle rampart (the original defense structure built around 900 A.D.) with a gorgeous view of the city, quite beautiful, but definitely not the MOST beautiful ! Another memorable vista was the Passerelle, also known as the Luxembourg Viaducts - delightful-looking bridges engineered and structured to resemble the ancient Roman viaducts (see photos below) and we spent a great deal of time admiring and walking underneath these "art forms", amongst the many sweaty lunch time joggers. We had a sunny picnic lunch at one of the parks nearby and readied ourselves for our next motoring destinations - The Mosel River in Germany !
