July 8,2013 Luxembourg City

We crossed over to Luxembourg and immediately filled the RV up with diesel.This is the cheapest fuel in all of Europe.We paid 1.20 liter.It still isn't cheap considering that it takes 3.75 liters for one US gallon.Most of the time it has run us around 1.40 liter.We stopped at Camp Kockelscheaur and found this close to the city.The bus is just out the gate and drops you off right in the center of city.This campsite is very nice for the price and grassy and clean.All for 15 Euros a night,what a deal.We took the bus into town and did our own walking tour.Luxembourg is the 1st city to be named the city of culture.There is also a Unesco World Heritage site here.We visited the church of Notre Dame now called Church of our lady,built in 1613.
Next we come to the Palace of the Dukes dating back to 1572.And we think some of our history and places are old.
The Unesco site is the Casements Du Bock.This is a rocky cliff with natural fortifications and 23km of underground casements.During WW2 this could be used as a bomb shelter for over 35,000 people.The view is very nice from here and you can see the old Viaduc and the town of Grund.
