In my previous posts I’ve said we are traveling in Germany, but that’s not 100% accurate. On Wednesday we were in Strasbourg, France, for the day. Today (Friday) we are in Basel, Switzerland. We will return to Germany on Monday and continue our trip north on the Rhine River toward Amsterdam.
We enjoyed a wine tasting in the Alsace region, which is in France but was moved between Germany and France numerous times in history. We cruised a canal in Strasbourg, as well.
Walking tours with local guides have allowed us to see many city walls, castles, and cathedrals, such as these from Breisach, Germany. We’ve had wonderful German sausages, and when we stopped for an espresso at a cart in the Freiburg market square, we found a barista who lived in Eugene until a few years ago! Tommy was very friendly and asked that we say hello to some mutual friends.
Today is a rest day for us, and tomorrow (Sunday) we will board our 2nd Viking river boat for our sail to the Netherlands.
Have a lovely week, dear readers!
