... the rest of the day in Strasbourg, eating at the same restaurant I ate at last time so he could experience tarte flambee. We also tried some Alsatian wine, which was excellent.<br><br>He went in the cathedral while I waited in the sunshine with Lincoln, so I still haven't seen the interior or gone up the tower. We also went on a mini train tour of the city which was pretty fun, being a serious tourist.<br><br>We headed back to the train station after a quick ...

... er&#8217; is said with an accent making it sound like &#8216;air&#8217;. This question had bothered me since the last time we were in Alsace.<br><br>Au revoir, France. A bien tot.<br><br>She Said:<br><br>Deciding where to go on a whim for a day that isn&#8217;t already scheduled into the itinerary used to be our most fun task. But we quickly discovered that with time restraints, money considerations, and more than just two of us to consider, it ...

Hablar de Estrasburgo es hablar de la Gran Isla en la que se asienta su centro histórico, abrazada por el rio Ill, afluente del Rhin. Es uno de los cascos medievales mejor conservados de Europa y su catedral es una de las mas altas del mundo. La recorrimos en barco por sus canales y paseamos por el barrio de la Petite France, el mas pinturesco de Estrasburgo y el que tiene mas canales.

Last leg of the European jaunt and we've decided to try out the Black Forest...the bad weather was the final nail in the coffin and after 3 days of dripping foggy weather, we decided to jack in the caravan and head to Octoberfest, but more of that later.<br><br>So a quick trip to a 500 yr old stud farm started by King Wilhelm the 1st, where they breed beautiful Black Forest horses and Arabs then, Baden Baden to take in the sights of this thermal spa town and ...

... and got lost trying to find others. Our feet were tired and our minds were overflowing with information. The Zevisit audiotours were interesting and informative, but we all agreed two in one day was too many. We decided to take a tram back to the centre and browsed in a few shops on our way back to the car. Then we spotted an ice cream cafe and decided it would be nice to sit and relax with a deliciously decadent ice cream dessert.

... must be the most romantic town in Germany. It was rather a shock on the first morning however to open the curtains and instead see two huge grey elephants blinking nonchalantly at me in the morning sun. At first I thought they'd escaped from Berlin zoo and were now cavorting triumphantly around the Hessen countryside hoping to find a tourist upon which to exact revenge, but espying zoo like features in the ...

We caught the wrong train and wound up in Gengenbach. While we were waiting for a train back we met a lady who told us the town had a beautiful old-town section. So we went discovering again. After a good look around we stopped at a pub while we were waiting for the next train and got talking to the owner. Turns out he'd been to Australia on holiday, so we had a good time talking to him until it was time to go.

... stole from the buffet this morning. I then got hungry some more because Wen had gotten some french fries. I was then tired and not feeling the best, so I took a shower, and ate my french fries and drank my wine in bed while watching Matilda in German. It was the only thing on except BBC and the Chicago White Sox versus the Chicago Cubs, but there was not sound, so Matilda it was. I then went to bed.

... the way to the muesum of history where my group decided to visit. The muesum was pretty neat. They have some stuff that is interactive, like trying on knights helmets (they are heavy, and some hard to see out of). You get to see clothing, pottery, dishes and portraits of kings. The visit also helped when it came time to meet our group back at the Cathedral to go for a boat ride. It helped connect people and what ...

... my bill I left and continued my sight seeing. I walked away from the Place de la Cathedral (which was where the main part of the marche de noel was and where the grand cathedral was) and I went over to check out Petite France, and some of the other older neighborhoods in Strasbourg. Petite France is actually an old neighborhood that dates from the Middle Ages (or is it the Renaissance) and it's called that because this was where all the ...
