18 December 2011...

One year on and it was time for a wedding anniversary celebration somewhere cold, snowy and preferably with a Christmas market (which could provide commemorative boot-shaped mugs for the occasion).  So, Luxembourg for the weekend!

We stayed in a cute little hotel near the centre of the old town in Luxembourg (city) which was built across a steep river valley with some fierce-looking ramparts to wander. 

As Saturday night drew in we were treated to our first snowfall of the winter - big fat flakes tumbling out of the sky.  The next morning we woke up for a day of exploring castles in our rental car to a winter wonderland scene immediately north of the city which was fantastic.  Luxembourg - tiny country but a lovely couple of days.
