Strasbourg

May 17, 2018June 12, 2018 By Scott

Our trip to Strasbourg wasn’t originally planned but it was cheaper for us to pick up our second car in France rather than in Germany. Also our good friend Joe Vanzella who is a pilot for Cathay Pacific, had a 72 hour layover in Paris, so planned to catch up with us. The relaxing 2 hour train trip from Paris turned into a tough 5 hour drive due to a French train strike.

Car number 2 – Renault Kadjur

After four months without a car, Scott was very excited to pick up another new car. The pickup place was a random service station out near the airport. Thanks Jo V for the ride.

The Renault Kadjur
6km on the speedo. So not a new car at all!
Ok ready to go

Boozy afternoon with Jo and Tamika

It was a lovely sunny afternoon and we found a great restaurant on the river. So we tasted the local wines.

This is before our afternoon session
A great afternoon drinking session in Strasbourg. Cheers Jo and Tameka!
And we did have some food as well
We ended up ordering quite a few of these
Scott was taking Oscar for a walk and called out Oscar and a street bum answered. His name was Oscar as well. He showed me his ID to verify this and he was from Perth. Random!

The Black Forest

The Black Forest gets its name from the oppressive canopy of evergreens looming above the forest floor. Home to elaborate cuckoo clocks, striking half-timbered houses, ruined castles and quaint towns. Baden Baden is only a short drive from Strasbourg to do a hike through the Black Forest and of course eat a block forest cake post hike.

We encountered a little rain but very beautiful
Oscar enjoyed it to
Must of been Scott telling one of his great jokes
The girls and Oscar
Thirsty work this hiking
Enough of the Black Forest. We are off for some Black Forest Cake
