Bastogne

Here we visited another museum on war. This one catered towards the WWII, focusing on the Americans and the Germans. Both the museum and the large monument were shaped like stars and probably would be best viewed by air. The museum itself was very informative about the little details mostly skipped over. I took many pictures only to find out on the way out I wasn’t supposed to. Oh well, their loss for not signing it properly on the way in (I did look on the way in, as most museums prohibit photography). It was late by the time we finished at the museum and we had a decision to make, either stay in Belgium one more night or head off to Luxembourg. Originally, we intended to go to Luxembourg City that day, as a base site to visit the country, but due to the lateness of us arriving in the northern tip of the country, we pulled over at the first campsite sign we saw. It happened to be near one of the stops we were going to make while visiting, Clervaux. We are staying at a campsite here (Camp Woltzdal) and the people are really friendly and the food looks and smells delicious. We are still planning on heading to Luxembourg City as our base site, but we figure we will visit the northern towns first, before heading south. We know of an internet cafĂ©, so we hope to be able to upload some pictures, because we have had difficulty in the past. So we are now off to Clervaux to see its castle, Vianden to see its castle, and Chateau de Boursheid which is somewhere in between the two.
