Wednesday, 25th September 2019 – Sankt Peter, Breisach, Ihringen A late breakfast in the Hotel Schlossmühle was very good, though they did try to insist we should have an egg each, and then I had a suggestion or two that met with Lynne’s approval for what we should do with the day. First I wanted…

Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 12, Hotel Schlossmühle, Glottertal
Tuesday, 24th September 2019 – Hotel Schlossmühle, Glottertal Arriving somewhat later than planned at the Hotel Schlossmühle, we decided our best bet would be to eat in the hotel once we had unpacked and got cleaned up. The hotel dates from the 12th century and has been a mill, a bakery and a variety of…
Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 12, Mulhouse, Riquewihr, Glottertal
Tuesday, 24th September 2019 – Mulhouse, Riquewihr, Glottertal And so, on the Tuesday, we got up, repacked the car, and set off away from Mulhouse, aiming at Riquewihr based on two things, the guidebook to the Alsace Wine Route that we’d bought and the direction we wanted to head in later on. Riquewihr had been…
Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 11, Mulhouse
Monday, 23nd September 2019 – Mulhouse Monday was mostly all about cars, so if they don’t interest you, you may want to look away now! When I was running the day before I got a good look at some of the neighbourhood, and while I was cooling down afterwards I took a few photos of…
Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 10, Mulhouse
Sunday, 22nd September 2019 – Mulhouse I started the morning with a run around the very quiet streets surrounding the apartment. The weather was still fine and sunny, despite forecasts suggesting that was about to change (it didn’t) and discovered both the hideous concrete monstrosity that is the nearby church, and also the whereabouts of…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 9, Restaurant le 4, Mulhouse
Saturday, 21st September 2019 – Restaurant le 4, Mulhouse Having got ourselves organised, we headed out and managed to circle round the centre of Mulhouse at least once before finally being sucked into an underground car park which we hoped was near to our restaurant for the evening, the Restaurant le 4. I was pleased…
Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 9, Colmar, Turckheim, Eguisheim, Rouffach, Mulhouse
Saturday, 21st September 2019 – Colmar, Turckheim, Eguisheim, Rouffach, Mulhouse Saturday morning I got up early and then headed out before breakfast to buy some supplies from the market. We were moving on from our lovely hotel where everything arrived as if by magic, and would now be self catering for three nights. Thus we…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 8, La Maison Rouge, Colmar
Friday, 20th September 2019 – La Maison Rouge, Colmar This is now a slightly cautionary tale. Because the guy on the front desk at the hotel when we checked in insisted that we had dinner included for all three nights, despite me saying we didn’t, I believed him in the end, and cancelled a reservation…
Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 8, Colmar
Friday, 20th September 2019 – Colmar Friday was entirely dedicated to Colmar, and establishing beyond any shadow of a doubt that it is stunningly, breathtakingly beautiful. A run for me first thing meant that I saw up close some of the Bartholdi monuments that I’d seen designs and models for the day before, and then…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Days 6 and 7, Restaurant a l’Echevin, Colmar
Wednesday, 18th September/Thursday, 19th September 2019 – Restaurant a l’Echevin, Colmar As part of the deal at the Hostellerie Le Maréchal we had two night’s dinners included (not three, no matter what the young man on reception when we checked in insisted) and although you never know what you might get when it comes to…
