Not the beautiful day like yesterday that we were hoping for this morning. It is quite overcast with a bit of drizzle in the air.
We took our time this morning and then got ready for the short cycle into the city centre. Our first port of call was the tourist information office situated close to the cathedral, to find out where we could safely leave our bikes. With our bikes duly deposited in a nearby undercover car and cycle park, we headed back into the city to have a look around.
Starting back at the Cathedral we went inside and had a look around. Like most of the cathedrals we have seen it was huge and dark, with some beautiful stained glass windows and a very interesting astronomical clock. Which we were in time to see chime!
The weather outside hadn't improved much, if anything the rain being heavier. Nevertheless we continued on to have a look around Petit France, an area of old, pretty
buildings and canals. From there we walked around to Les Ponts Couverts, a much photographed towered bridge. Which is currently covered in scaffolding, you would have thought they would have finished it in the 100's of years it has been there!
Most of the beauty of the city is in just wandering around and looking at the many narrow streets and pretty buildings. With no sign of the sun coming out and Debbie getting cold we called our tour to an end and headed back to the camp-site.
Strasbourg has been one of the nicer cities we have visited and not a bad way to end our brief visit to France. Will be heading back to Germany tomorrow and our last camp-site before we reach Switzerland.
Hi Guys,

Hope to see you in Basel or Switzerland somewhere :) Have fun until then!
