2017-08-27 :

... I was not going to email today but decided I should to record our route!

Today we left Neuf Brisach before 9am and decided to stick to only bike paths all the way to Strasbourg .. to shorten the distance and to stay in the cool shade along the canals.

It was a good choice and to our surprise the canal path that we joined in Artzenheim was an easy compacted stone which turned to a smooth pavement at Marckolsheim and stayed paved all the way in to Strasbourg!

It was a lovely ride along the canal with lots of people watching as we got closer to Strasbourg and we saw more boats on the canal and people out cycling.

We arrived around noon and checked in to our apartment and then went out for lunch at a very nice café. It is a very pretty city and we are right in the centre with mostly pedestrian only streets!

Tomorrow we see some museums and Tuesday we'll probably ride the 14 Forts route around Strasbourg.

The evening sun on the Cathedral Notre Dame de Strasbourg created a very impressive image .. There is so much detail it is overwhelming!

Cheers
Harold and Marion
