KEHL/STRASBOURG PT 1

Guten Tag,

We are staying just across the Rhine from Strasbourg in Kehl, where by chance, our Burstner motorhome was built. Thanks to J&A for their comment. I suspect the 3 river cruises we have come across were chartered by Americans as apart from the throng following the the tour guides, the tour guides themselves were American. But I'm not an expert.
Strasbourg is a pleasant 30 min cycle ride across the Rhine into France. Or it should be. Somehow we managed to get lost on the first return trip and 2 hours later etc etc. This seems to be a recurring theme of our trips. Somewhere walking or cycling we take a wrong turn or two and we're hopelessly lost. If there had been only one river in Strasbourg we would have been ok but as there are at least three, we followed the wrong one.
Also I should point out that having said all the working girls by the roadside were in Spain, this has now been disproven by the French roadsides. Perhaps it does happen in England and I've just not noticed.
Strasbourg is a truly beautiful city but choc full of tourists. There are waterways all round and a very fine old town. It is also full of con men and beggars which is quite atmospheric given the medieval streets as long as you don't fall for their tricks. (We haven't yet.)

Usual cathedral, inside

And out.

And a Protestant one for a change.

Germany was celebrating some religious festival last Thursday which turned into everyone's long weekend. First full campsite we have come across. Loads of photos so Part 2 at the weekend. Deb is doing well coming up with links but we're off to Luxembourg soon so you'll do well to find a connection there!

Auf wiedersehen
