Charming Alsace. Can we move here? Can we? Can we? ??

Based for 4 lovely days in Obernai, we drove up and down La Route des Vins, admiring the endless, rolling vineyards, the mesmerizing villages, taking photos, buying tons of souvenirs and eating many Tartes Flambées☺!
We visited Mulhouse last as it is at the very end of La Route des Vins and dedicated Strasbourg a whole day. These two cosmopolitan cities, jam packed with tourists as expected are a nice blending of old and new, modern and traditional, quaint and en vogue!

The sun was setting when we got to the town square of Mulhouse after a long day sightseeing. A band was performing live and playing old and new covers. I had a lush strawberry mojito and Adi a pint of beer.

Strasbourg was busy and it rained, as announced, during or better said throughout our 1h10min open boat ride! Lol! See for yourselves! Hilarious I'm telling you! The Notre Dame de Strasbourg where we took shelter after getting drenched is mind-blowing! I loved the enormous stained glass windows, state-of-the-art craftsmanship!

Before getting on the boat I had my caricature drawn by a lovely artist in the city square. It cost €15 and required 15 minutes of me sitting still on a stool. Which was difficult! Lol

Cuisine-wise, we weren't very keen on the traditional Chocrute or Baeckeoffe which we excitedly tried, but only once! But on the other hand we really loved their Tarte Flambée - aux 4 Fromages was scrumptious!!! couldn't have enough really!

Next entry: our journey through Switzerland and Italy!
