Hotel Rhin Et Danube Colmar

... 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.

... before going to Morroco. We went out to get me some cigarettes and noticed that the City game was on in a bar so we watched that and I drank so Rose which was cheap Ian was on beer and it was nearly 6 euro a pint the most expensive yet.

Ian wanted to go back to the room but I was enjoying the rose so we went just to another pub around the corner with some locals in who bought us shots and ended up getting drunk again, I was ...

... here in France as all the letters and nu,bers are all the wrong way around so if it looks silly I am sorry and I will have to catch up with the rest of the blog another time as it will take me years.

Anyway we found our hotel and we upograded our room to have a kitchen so that could cook and rest and stay in a little before we go off to Morroco. So thats what we did we went to the supermarket ...

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.

... mais c'est déjà dépaysant. après le musée des Beaux Arts le Dimanche Matin, on profite d'un temps digne de celui que j'ai laissé sur Avignon pour aller prendre l'air et la verdure au parc Botanique et zoologique de Mulhouse qui vaut vraiment un détour.

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 ...

Here we are in wine country, Colmar, France. We got here early this afternoon. It is a pretty cool place. We thought at first that the rain was following us from Lauterbrunnen, but so far so great. It is quite a bit warmer and hot tomorrow and the next day. We found a couple of places to try out the wine. I had a cote du rhone and Jill got a lambrusco. Then we moved on to a place where we could try some others varietals and settled on the Cremant d'Alsace. It was ...

... from. It was a lot of fun exploring and dreaming of what it would've been like to live there (although if I were to live in a castle, I would rather live in the Sigmaringen castle). After our tour, we went to a forest where they have hundreds of monkeys living. You are able to go inside the fenced-in area and see all of them, but we decided that 9 Euro was too much to pay since we can go to the zoo and see ...

... despite the fact that the second B in the name didn't actually stand for breakfast, per se, but really stood for the empty coffee pot and hot plate situated in our bathroom/kitchenette). We freshened up and began to explore this small town of only 70,000 residents. Apparently, this town was spared of bombs during WWII solely because of its beauty. Like many towns we visited in Germany and the Czech Republic, there was an abundance of half-timbered buildings, tiled roofs, and ...

... at the restaurant and went to bed. The next day, we stopped in Neuchatel to pick up the chronometer Chris had purchased from a watchmaker in Cananda. How did it get to Switzerland? The seller's wife was from Neuchatel, that is where they met, while he was in watchmaker's school. The wife brought the chronometer over to her parent's home over the Xmas holidays to minimize the chance of it being damaged. We met the parents, who had a beautiful ...
