Cardinal De Rohan Strasbourg

... and bought our train tickets home. Mine was round trip but I had to get a ticket for Lincoln. Without the fine attached, it was only 5 Euros. I really wish I had known ahead of time!<br><br>I had a really nice day visiting with my brother. I haven't seen him since I left Canada back in October, so it was almost a full year. Wow, time flies! He headed back to Paris and will continue on to Barcelona in a few days so I am a bit jealous - I absolutely love Barcelona!

... or shower curtains? No matter how careful you are, the floor gets soaked every time. Do they all take baths?<br><br>Pam and Glenn Said:<br><br>You could definitely tell the German influence here at this border town. What an interesting city on the L&#8217;Ill River. We had a great time walking around the old city where Glenn enjoyed a traditional stew of three different kinds of meat. (If he knew what was in it, he probably wouldn&#8217;t have eaten it.)

... outstanding, maybe the best beer I&#8217;ve had on this trip thus far (sorry, Belgium) and I have no idea who brewed it. <br><br>After eating we walked down to the river/canal&#8217;s edge and followed the walking path along it while the sun set. No cars or bikes are present, mostly just couples taking in the surrounding atmosphere and romantic feel as it got dark and tour boats putted on by. There are no guard rails or impediments at the river ...

... tarte flambée contains only bacon and onions. We decided to take it to the next level where they also add cheese as a topping. It was delicious! We completed our meal with French beer, Kronenbourg, which is everywhere here (though I have drank it in Canada as well). After lunch we started our second audio tour but were tired of walking long before it was completed. We had visited many important buildings outside of 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.

Day trip from Villingen. Wolfach has a factory cum tourist attraction where they blow the glass manually. It was good to watch them making vases etc. in the traditional way. The highlight for me was dobbing Roz in to get up on the stage and blow her own vase. She did a good job, and we bought the vase and brought it home. A very special souvenir.

... hour tram pass and then did a trial run to find the venue for the Marillion show on Thursday night. When I arrived in the area of the hall, I did not see anything like a music hall or club. A kind of run down area, and at the address listed I find a building with no sign, but enough indication on the outside that it may be the place. I plan to get there early tomorrow night, hopefully to find people wandering to the venue. I went to ...

... it all is amazing. Like finding your twin "T" whilst travelling in Aix en Provence and just happening to pick the same host at the sa;me time. Total randomness although sometimes I think it is the universe consipiring for you to be at a certain place at a certain time. I give him his gift, a set of large, or should I say HUGE mugs with 2 different spicey teas, for all the times we sat and drank tea and talked and so he can share a cup with ...

... that is absolutely fascinating. It is the third that was built in this cathedral - the first in 1352, the second in 1574 and this one was built in about 1842. We also found out why it was almost impossible to find a hotel room in the city - I think we got the last room in the whole city when I booked it. The European Parliament is in Strasbourg, and they were in session. That means an additional 1,000 ...

... visited more modern establishments such as the EU parliament building, and discovered the insanely cheap French eatery, Flunch - later to be renounced by Browny in Dijon. Beyond the EU buildings we settled in a large ...
