... I asked why she was not able to serve the salad and pommes sauted without the accompanying meat or fish! She was adamant that this was all that she was prepared to offer. My friend therefore chose not to eat at all. Madam then informed us that all four had to eat or none of us could, insinuating that we would have to leave. At this point I would like to offer my most heartfelt congratulations that obviously Mdm and Msr Thomann are in the happy position of being able to ...

... drunk that I was sick ha ha should have listened to Ian.

Monday

I did feel terrible today hung over and feeling really dizzy again, I threw up again so not much going on for us today. I did manage to have a little walk to a market but it was not open and then we walked a bit more in Mulhouse its shocking ha ha. We have decided to go to the Autumn fair tomorrow so that should be a little bit more exciting sorry ha ha.

... got so,e food and I cooked a nice steak with pepper sauce. We were meant to be going to the Autumn Fair in Basel but we were too tired and both fell asleep really early. Our first impressions of the place we are at is that the hotel is nice but the area we are in is so rough with massive housing blocks and really rough looking estate people dont think i will be going out at night around here thats for sure.

Otra vez en Francia. En la rivera del alto Rhin Colmar es un ejemplo de ciudad medieval bien conservada, con casas de entramado estilo alsaciano y canales llenos de vida. Conserva perfectamente el ambiente urbano de las ciudades centroeuropeas que nacieron alrededor de las rutas comerciales.

Arrivée à Mulhouse dans l'après midi après 7h00 de train assez éprouvant, ça fait plaisir de retrouver des amis pas vus depuis longtemps. Visite de la vieille ville de Mulhouse le Samedi, la Ville est Assez industrielle, ce n'est aps encore l'Alsace de Carte ...

... for dear life John moved very slowly across as pedestrians slowly got out of the way. People .were floating down the river on rafts and it was a vantage point. After the bridge was just as bad with a one lane road sharply zigzagging up the hill!! apparently there is an easier way and though the hotel have complained to the gps people nothing has happened.
Gerzensee has views towards the mountains, sheep ...

This was what I really came to Europe for. Freiburg was just the beginning of an awesome adventure for me. The mountains and the forest and the cake. We caught a cable car up to the top of the mountain and wandered in the snow. Got some great photos. We made Freiburg our base and toured a fair bit around the region. Spent a night here and there and came back to Freiburg for the festival. Took about two hundred photos in two hours one day; they had a ...

... of the most beautiful and peacefully quiet hiking we have done. Usually we can hear traffic or the buzz of a city in the background, but along this route, through the most prestigious of vineyards, the loudest noises were made by the grapes growing. Once we reached Kayserberg, we explored the town that feels and sounds like it should actually be part of Germany rather than France. It was unfortunately heavily damaged during the ...

... at 150kmh, but it didn't come apart when we asked it to. We we arrived to catch the last few hours of sunshine. Like most European cities of its size Colmar has a nice accessible downtown with lots of historic buildings, a few churches, and the ubiquitous Irish bar or two. We wandered the downtown, had a few glasses of local Alsatian wines (at least I did) and then dinner. The theme of the day was pork - ham knuckle for Meghan and ham on the bone for me ...

... Napoleon apparently remarked about the people in Alsace-Lorraine, "Let them speak German as long as they think in French." Because of the season, we were treated to a decked-out Colmar. I don't know if I have seen so many Santas, in so many positions and situations, trying to get into so many houses in one place. They were on ladders, hanging onto ropes, dragging themselves onto balconies and sitting in makeshift sleds. The ...
