AU REVOIR ALSACE


We planned a long relaxing stay in these parts, and so it has been. We’ve travelled the length and breadth pretty much including two sorties into Germany. Today started a little damp but improved as we drove south. Through Colmar and Guebwiller and many other …willers, but no Rottweilers!! Pretty country latticed with vineyards and amazing little single church towns, two, three or four “Fleurie” villages just within earshot of each other.

Guebwiller

Lunch in Germany and another two crossings of the Rhine including one that was also a part of a gigantic lock. We stopped and marvelled at the engineering that allows the large barges to rise and fall with such apparent ease.

Going down ...

... and down and out!

Off south tomorrow, to Dijon for a taste of something different!
