Leaving in on a jet plane

Well after another late start, kind of a running theme for the week isn't it, we had breakfast and confirmed out plans for the day. Which mainly consisted going to the cinema as the new James bond film has just been released and we both wanted to see it, so why not?

The cinema here showed the film in English but with French and Germany subtitles which weren't as annoying as you might think once you got into the movie as you just kind of ignored them. Our opinion of the film a resounded "meh!"It was a good film but it's certainly not the best James bond film I've seen and I didn't think it was quite as good as Casino Royale. But still compared with a lot of films released this year it was still very good.

I did suggest to Engineseer that he needs to get one of those grabber sticks as he has a problem with a english car when going into car parks here as of course the ticket machines are on the wrong side of the car. So if he had one of those sticks he could just reach over with that instead.

We went for lunch at The generic high street restaurant brand that he used to work for which was interesting as for some reason they don't have BBQ sauce over here. No idea why it just seems to be one of those random things :-)

We were having lunch when some guy came round giving out leaflets which at first glance seemed very cheap printouts for a charity. We were extremely surprised when the guy came back round after putting leaflets on every table to ask for money for the leaflets. We refused and did the only thing we could do in the situation, gave him the leaflet back whilst speaking very loudly and slowly to indicate we were English and we did not understand.

Well my time in Luxembourg is now all but up. I'm having to catch the coach to the airport at 7am tomorrow which means I'm going to have to get up extremely early. Of course with the time difference I will arrive back in the UK only half an hour after taking off from Germany which will in turn mean I will technically have a 25 hour day tomorrow. I hate traveling through different time zones!

I have started to see why Engineseer likes Luxembourg so much. It's a big city but it's also quiet too and you do get one heck of a view.

Anyway ,

See you tomorrow folks
