SUNDHOUSE - Strasbourg - LA WANTZENAY 40 miles
The owners of the Gite promised us 'no rain'.....but we did. Not quite as much as yesterday. It was a real shame. I had so much looked forward to go to the European Centre and visit the European Parliament to take a picture. This is such an iconic building; it is breathtaking. Also no chance for cyclists in Strasbourg though! It's a nightmare to find your way round at the same time watching where you are going and we will not take chances on our tandem. We did have some help from a very kind Frenchman. He saw me looking at the signs and I couldn't make it out. He kept talking to us in very fast French, which made it even harder. He saw our despair and motioned us to follow him -totally the opposite way we thought was the one. That was a very nice man!
We did have wonderful cycling before and after Strasbourg. All the time on a cycle path, through wooded areas, alongside the canal du Rhone au Rhin. At times you think you are cycling through an Apothecary/chemist with all the different smells. Wonderful!
