Ibis Strasbourg C Pts Couverts

... so the combined train fare wasn't so astonishing.<br><br>I arrived in Strasbourg a few minutes before my brother's train so I went there to meet him. He was already there, looking around lost and confused. He spotted me and came over excitedly, and then spotted Lincoln. He made such a big scene over seeing my dog that some girls nearby laughed. He told me he had really hoped I would bring Lincoln. Of course Lincoln comes everywhere with me now!<br><br>We ...

... although awesome with rose windows and a spectacular astronomical clock, was not the best I&#8217;ve seen. You know I&#8217;ve seen too many cathedrals if I&#8217;ve become picky! We walked though what they call &#8220;Petit France&#8221; and had a traditional, delicious Alsatian dinner. Even though I remembered the delicious stew I had last time we were in Alsace and suggested it very highly to everyone else, I decided on the safe stomach option ...

Hablar de Estrasburgo es hablar de la Gran Isla en la que se asienta su centro histórico, abrazada por el rio Ill, afluente del Rhin. Es uno de los cascos medievales mejor conservados de Europa y su catedral es una de las mas altas del mundo. La recorrimos en barco por sus canales y paseamos por el barrio de la Petite France, el mas pinturesco de Estrasburgo y el que tiene mas canales.

... France and walked a winding path to the Cathedral. Unfortunately it was closed for some reason so we only got to admire the exterior. We stopped for lunch at a delicious Alsatian restaurant, Au Dauphin. Here we experience the delicious local specialty, tarte flambée. It is similar in appearance to a pizza. The crust is lighter and thinner, and there is no tomato sauce or cheese, but instead a delicious cream. For toppings, the ...

... destroyed the tranquility of his gallery and............<br> Headline: 'Pupils turn noses up at school meals'<br> Alas! I am out of time almost. By the time I check my email and sign in on my blog, 30 minutes is up! I am out of cash to by more internet time. An ATM is first thing on the agenda tomorrow morning, after I eat my breakfast of bread for the 14th morning in a row!<br> This will have to be continued later. Au revoir!!!!!!!<br>

We caught the wrong train and wound up in Gengenbach. While we were waiting for a train back we met a lady who told us the town had a beautiful old-town section. So we went discovering again. After a good look around we stopped at a pub while we were waiting for the next train and got talking to the owner. Turns out he'd been to Australia on holiday, so we had a good time talking to him until it was time to go.

... une vue de carte postale par temps ensoleillé, mais ça me semble pourtant surfait, c'est pas si beau. Au moins, nous sommes à quelques pas de la Petite France, nous allons reprendre du bon pied. Après un rapide dîner (dégueulasse crêpes jambon-fromage achetées à l'épicerie du coin), nous enchaînons coup sur coup le quartier de la Petite France, la cathédrale (bien sur nommée Notre-Dame), la place Gutenberg et celle de la République ...

... a 2 hour wait and I try to find power for my laptop yet again. I go to the pub and buy some pomme de frits as it is the cheapest thing on the menu and plug in my computer. I call my host to let him know I will not be arriving in Strasbourg until 22.16 and he says he will meet me at the station. I think I have gotten my dates confused and I further confuse him by saying I am arriving tonight. But he is fine to host me and that is the main thing. I am a bit worried about ...

Just spent a few days in Strasbourg. It is a lovely town, really nice and cute, very friendly people, and just a really easy town to stay in. It's also a university town and the headquarters of the European Union, so certainly not small or quiet. The main old town is kind of an island surrounded by a canal, and on Sunday I took a boat tour around the canal, up another canal to the EU offices and embassies, and around all the ...

... entrance to the underground Ibis car park. We settled ourselves into our rooms and put our feet up for an hour. At the appointed time we roused L and went to look for a meal. All we could think of was the Cathedral courtyard although there were plenty of other eateries around. There were a couple of very expensive restaurants in old buildings on one corner of the cathedral square [they had tablecloths and candles. I figure that is a sure sign that you will be ...
