We spent Sunday the 28th with the idea of a rest day in our Airbnb in Ladenburg. After a German breakfast of yogurt and Musli we went for a 5 mile hike. Then to the grocery store we went to get food and liquid (beer) for a picnic. Little did we know all grocery stores and beer stores are closed on Sunday 😳 And mostly everything else too!
OK, Cindy says it was actually a 12 mile hike. We have one bottle of rose (😒) at home, so we had a short picnic in our Airbnb as it started raining, hard.
Monday, we drove two hours to Strasbourg in the trusty Peugeot and toured the city for 4 hours. It’s an old city, first mentioned in 10 BC and has always played an important role in the area as it is a river port and the main port in the area!
It’s been French , German, French, German more times than I know, but it became French after WWll and I assume it will stay that way for awhile. You can see the German and the French influences in the architecture. It’s quite a lovely city.
Lots of tour groups, but a big enough city to ignore them, great place to people watch.
Tomorrow, a slow trip to Munich, one of our favorite city’s in the world, along the Romantic Road. Beer halls/beer gardens here we come! 😎
