We are up and at em again early. Buses leave at 8:45. We are docked in Germany and must drive over the bridge into France. Our guide tells the story of how many times Strasbourg has gone from French to German over its history. We see political buildings and storks. And then do a walking tour thru the old city. It is surprisingly charming. The place is packed with Viking groups but we manage to keep up with our red haired guide. The old buildings are beautiful, as are the canals. The cathedral is amazing just from the outside. We can't get in until later. So we decide to stay in town and have a French lunch. We find a cute restaurant that serves flemmkuchen and a goat cheese salad. With two glasses of wine it's a perfect meal.
At 2pm we can get into the church. It is quite overpowering. Lovely windows, a huge space. We spend quite a bit of time. We meet up with a guide who walks us to our bus and we head back with a little time to relax and read before dinner.
Dinner is duck breast and prawn curry. We sit with a couple from Taiwan, now California.
