Hotel Turenne 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.

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 ...

... was the site of 2 World Wars and somehow managed to not get destroyed. Rolling hills, picturesque little villages in rolling hills and some of the best food and wine in France.

... with costumes and masks and bands. Damn near froze standing still for that long, but I had a good vantage point for the pictures so I wasn't going to move for fear of losing my spot. After the parade we got stuck into the gluhwein and some hot food then went back to the hostel for a hot shower, then out for dinner. We went to a local brewery that had a restaurant incorporated and had such a good time that we made it a regular while we were there.

... was designed to help people through the pain of suffering from disease in the middle ages and for 500 years it has impressed no shortage of visitors including us. Pas mal. Pas mal. Colmar day 3 We headed out along the route des vins to check out a town called Ribeauville. It is about 15km from Colmar and is said to be the most popular with the tourists, and for good reason. We began our exploration with a hike. We went up to a castle on the side of a mountain ...

After Lyon we headed north towards Berlin. We stopped in Colmar for two days. This is in the Alsace region in the northeast. This is where some of the best White Wine comes from. Now I prefer Red Wine but then again wine is alcohol. We went walking through these massive fields of grapes. They're open to the public and you can just walk through them anytime you want. The grapes on the ...

... for free ;) after that the rain stopped long enough for us to stroll arround a bit and then find a restaurant for an early dinner(one that would still allow us to cath the last bus at 8:30) the restaurant seemed a bit touristy but turned out to be delicious YUM it was here that we also learned that today (saturday) is the start of a é day town festival so we decided to entend our stay by our day and sacrafice some poland time to stay we waited at the bus stop admiring a fabulous ...
