Ibis Mulhouse Centre Filature

... 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.

... it was a big walk between some of them. At the first one Ian did not want to go on the rides but when we got to the second one we found some good stuff and went in the fun house together then went on a really funny ghost train and a big roller coaster which I did not like as I felt like it was going to go off the end of the rails. We went the next one and they had huge big rides there was like a big ...

... 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.

... fairgrounds to check things out.

In Münsterplatz we rode the big wheel and got a nice view of the city lights reflecting on the Rhine. After our ride we just hung around a stall selling gluwein, drinking and chatting. Everywhere we went was crowded with people in good spirits and children full of sugar and excitement. Herbstmesse is a fun time in Basel!

... and are less adventurous. So as we were standing by the exit waiting for them to drive past, I heard my mom shout "Laura!". I turned around and there they were, going deeper into the parking garage instead of towards the exit. We all laughed and I joked about how it's already begun.

Finally they drove past us out the exit and we waved goodbye. I felt a bit sad the rest of the day. It was such a great visit with my parents and a wonderful road trip through Austria!

I have had to work the last two days but I managed to leave a bit early today so I could talk my parents to the Van Gogh Landscapes exhibit at the Kuntsmuseum.

They have enjoyed wandering around Basel the last two days and are now in love with the city. We all really enjoyed the exhibit as well. We decided to go for the audio guides on top of the admission to the exhibit but it was a really great thing to have. The ...

Last night's campsite turned out to be a flaw. Just who are SNCF running trains hourly on a Sunday night. It was also pretty cold and I didn't have a particularly comfortable night. I also wanted to be away before the workers on this closed road arrived. So it was up at 6.30 am and getting the tent down as fast as possible. Unfortunately there was a heavy frost so the tent got packed wet. The other hazard is that getting away early meant hitting the rush hour ...

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 ...
