Thursday 8/7. Today we drove to Esch-sur-Sure a tiny picturesque village near Luxembourg Centre. Esch is perched precariously at the base of a sheer cliff with a fast flowing river. We climbed and climbed many steps carved out of the slate mountain to reach the statue on the hill and from there walk on to the old ruined castle, a real crumbly dating from 925. The views of the steeply sloping village and the valley below were sensational.
