Germany and Luxembourg

After Säntis we drove in through the bottom of Germany and stopped in a small town on the banks of the Nectar river.
The town was called Nectarzimmern.
The whole region is full of castles and old history.

We visited this old castle and purchased some wine as it is also a Chateau. Wine wasn't that great to be honest. One wine lesson and I'm an expert.😊

Above is the view of the Nectar river and one of its locks.

Another view of the lock system

Here is a view from the top of the castle in the first photo.

Very interesting to watch river traffic going through the lock system.

We stayed here for 2 nights the headed north west to Luxembourg. 

Quite an interesting history in Luxembourg. 

Old grand buildings are all over the place.

Pretty normal scene close to the National museum.

The museum was huge with 9 levels.

Very good archeological displays of Roman and Paleolithic times.

Also lots about Neanderthals. 

Felt quite at home there..

Below is a funeral urn holder made of a large sandstone rock.

I can imagine Hinuera stone like this and use it for a firing oven for pottery. 

Linda is already shaking her head.

Spectacular mosaic made with coloured tile and rock from the Romans 

Below is a bronze statue with many faces.

Here is a very busy art piece from the museum.

Below is a new scate park and the old viaduct in the background.

During our stay in Luxembourg we had a massive thunderstorm with torrential rain.

We slept like logs in the van.

We packed up the next morning and drove through the countryside to south Holland.
