The journey to Strasbourg was long which was mainly due to avoiding being fleeced by toll roads. The scenery wasn't much to write home about in the mid country - farm upon farm upon field upon field. However, as we left Champagne and got to Alsace, things quickly took on a more Germanic feel - you can tell we're smack on the border.
Strasbourg was originally only picked as a halfway house between Paris and Bern. Yet, as it turns out it looks quite promising. The campsite is very welcoming, leafy and green with all mod cons in a great location for investigating Strasbourg tomorrow.
As we write, we're sat under a tree drinking a 1.5 litre vin du table - all of £1! Just tucking in to suprisingly tasty tinned Canneloni with French bread - or are we just weary, tired and hungry?
Metro today hasn't, of course, caused any problems and, despite the warmer climate, has boasted an uber-frugal 47.6 mpg!

Glad you like "la belle France". There are some brilliant places to visit - just don't go to Paris where everything is o.t.t

James,(sorry hello Keith, we have never met, I work with James, how do you do Keith), can't believe you are referring to Bala in Wales, in 1985 my husband (Peter) and I visited Bala, camping of course, we visited a working farm which had 3 different litters of collie dogs and guess what we came home with a Border Collie, who we named "Dylan Thomas" primarily because we like a glass or 2 or 3 or 4 of wine, or maybe just me, not Peter, he was a wonderful pet, an obedient dog, unfortunately we lost him (died) in 1995 but still miss him, Bala was a wonderful place to visit.

Peter and I have just spent 5 days in Paris, our 4th visit, we really like it so maybe you need to re-visit it find your personal enojoyment of it at a more leisurely pace. Mary
