Hi all,
Well we have made it all the way to Switzerland. The keys on the keyboard are in funny places again so please excuse any silly typos I may make. Especially y and z which have swapped places.
We had a great time in Strasbourg - there is a spectacular cathedral, beautiful half German, half French architecture and another lovely modern art museum.
We wandered the town (grande ille) and stopped only for numerous hot chocolates and espressos. Food was great - Paul has discovered Munster cheese, originally created by monks and unique to the Alsace region (but hopefully available in Paris so he can eat more of it). Last night we had a fantastic meal - pasta for me and the biggest and tastiest vege lasange for Paul ever.
We did all the usual touristy things, from exploring the catherdral to taking another boat cruise, this time to see the European parliament.
Today was a day of travel, from Strasbourg to Basel, and Basel to Zurich. After a loooong 2km trek to our lovely hotel (carrying an extra 25kg does wear me out), we checked in about 4pm, and had a nice long nap. Tonight we headed back towards town to search out a vegetarian restaurant we had seen on our trek, where we indulged in the BUFFET (Paul´s dreams coming true) and some local wheat beer before heading back here to the hotel for a nightcap and some internet-ing.
Tomorrow will be Zurich, Zurich, Zurich. We are here until Sunday when we head to Lucerne. Looks promising, the neighbourhood is packed will bars and restaurants...
Till then,
S&P.
