Sunday, July 22
More later, but:
Luxembourg was fun to explore. Catacombs and battle-forts are a must for such a small country. Got in late because the train was slow, the hotel was closed, and thought I may be on the street for the night. It was after midnight and it did not feel safe in the area I was. Then a nice Asian fellow offered to drive me to a hotel he knew to help me out because he ¨always tries to help people.¨ I had to pay for two places, but I was not on the street. The place I found was next to the train station and there was a prostitute in the front area on the phone, so I did not sleep well or feel very clean. But it was a bed. And the door mostly locked (it could have been kicked in). I was glad to stay because I had fun the next day.
Bruges is nice. Pretty. The locals are fun and modest. The pace of life is so much slower everywhere in Europe. Saw some windmills. Soon I leave for Amsterdam.
Every new country means a new place for the @ symbol and a new order for two or three keys on the keyboard. It´s becoming a fun game.
