serendipity

Ahoy,

Our trip from Venice to Brussels consisted of 3 train rides. We went from Venice to Milan, Milan to Basel, and Basel to what was supposed to be all the way to Brussels. But the strikes, you see, happen all the time and during weekdays and are nation wide. So our train got stopped in luxembourg. Because of strikes, nothing was running in all of Belgium. So 8 o'clock at night we find ourselves stranded in Luxembourg. I guess stranded is an understatement, because of all places to get stuck in, Luxembourg is one of the best. We rushed over to the hostel and checked in for the night. We explored the next day and have perhaps fallen in love.

We also zipped through Switzerland, which was amazing. We were not expecting to go through or see Switzerland, but it was gorgeous from what we saw out the window. It was snowing and all snow covered mountains and beautiful. Anyone that knows me, knows that snow is my favorite. We will definitely return.

It's a shame we never got to see Brussels. We were really looking forward to the chocolate, but we'll be back! Luxembourg and Switzerland were fantabulous surprises.

remotely adrift,
