Hotel Les Vosges Ribeauville

... losing over € 80,-- instead of possibly only € 20,-- when my friend chose not to eat. Quelle domage!

Happily we managed to spent what we weren't able to consume at the next market!

I would not go back to Ribeauville, yes to Kayserberg! Although, I must admit that this was not my first time to this area, the landscape is delightful, the food however was surprisingly mediocre everytime we ate out. Would love some insider recommendations.

... made it to Freiburg, met up with my friend Sebastian and we came to drop off my stuff and then went out to party a bit with his friends. Very fun night, but very odd since it would seem German guys are very weird about dancing? I was the only one dancing with several of his female friends for at least an hour or two... maybe they just needed more alcohol.

that's it for now...

... route. Stops in the Medieval town of Colmar and the picturesque village of Riquewihr are included. Experience the charm of medieval Colmar in its historic center and the picturesque timber-framed houses in the village of Riquewihr."

... sat in the sitting room of a large manor house with the son of the vigneron guiding us through his most interesting wines – including crémant d’Alsace and some pinot noir. At our last tasting venu, Bott Frères, water was served in local ceramic pichets, ‘nice jugs’ said Aideen.

Duirng our few days in France we ate and drank our way through the French side of the Rhine valley and came to our final ...

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.

Primer contacto con Alemania. Ciudad universitaria por exelencia, donde la bicicleta tiene la prioridad absoluta, el centro es enteramente peatonal. Una de las ciudades mas animadas del viaje, su ambiente nos recargó las pilas después de muchos dias de viaje.
Su catedral es especialmente destacable, y tiene una torre muy recomendable, aunque se encuentra actualmente en obras. Por la mañana estuvimos en un mercado artesanal muy, muy completo.

Germans are pretty nice people but they are so rude! (sorry Gizelle, not all of them), At 0300 in the morning they were out on the street actually yelling hey! at our hostel in an attempt to wake us up.
Arseholes.
Anway, I got up early to see the imperial palace and some of the cool ffountains. There is one there called the merry-go-round marriage fountain and boy it does look like a ride. It is the best fountain so far. You see happy couples and ...

... to try to find them, the signs had us driving through narrow cobblestone streets which were just a bit too much for Fred…so we tried to take the back way around and ended up back on the main road towards Lake Constance! Deciding that we were better off to keep on driving rather than turn around, we continued to our original destination.

We stopped at one campsite on the way just to see how much it would be and quickly continued on once we found out… ...

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 ...

... familiar at all. I had a tough time following the service since they didn't announce any of the pages (although even if they had, it would've been either in Dutch or Spanish so it wouldn't have helped me at all). One man, probably in his 30s, lead the entire service with 2 older man in their 70s standing on either side of him, almost as if supervising. Surprisingly, about half of the congregation looked like they were in their 30s. But as the service continued, I was finally able ...
