Sunday July 17, 2022, 20 km (12 miles) – Total so far: 1,571 km (976 miles)
We had a nice night in the campground of Neuf-Brisach. When we woke up in the morning, Mike had been doing some research and the town we are in is a walled town, and to look at it from the air, it’s a perfect hexagon. So this morning we took some drone shots, which we’ll put in our video from this day.
We are getting very low on camping gas, and also need a rest day. It’s a 70 km cycle ride to Strasbourg, but last night I was googling a town near here which is off the route. I was so blown away by the picturesque town, I immediately booked two nights in a hotel there. So that’s where we’re heading this morning. To Colmar!
It was only a 20 km cycle ride and we arrived in the town and had to navigate through masses of people. This wasn’t quite what I’d expected. We arrived at the hotel at 11am and were told we couldn’t check-in until 3pm, so we dropped off our bikes and found a supermarket and sat in the park and ate our salads.
We went out in the evening for dinner and all of the restaurants were fully booked. Thankfully one took pity on us and we have a lovely meal sitting outside in the square.
