Visit to Luxembourg 

 

Page 1 of 1

 

When I was visiting Trier, a small town on the Mosel River in Germany, an orchid friend Jean Thurmes whom I met through my website took his time to give me a quick tour of Luxembourg as well as a tour of his greenhouse.  I really appreciated his kindness.  Jean has been contributing his beautiful orchid photos to my site for quite some time now.

Vianden Castle

Jean picked me up at my hotel in Trier and drove me to the Vianden Castle for a nice tour.  When we arrived, the castle was somewhat fogged in, giving me an opportunity to take a photo shown above, but it soon cleared up.
