Friday, 13th September 2019 – Sunday, 29th September 2019 – Alsace and Baden (with a side order of the Mittel Rhein) I’m well aware that a lot of people won’t want to read this, so I’m basically posting it entirely for my own reference with regard to what we bought on the latest road trip….

Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Days 16 and 17, Vaals, Aachen, Ghent, Rotterdam, Home
Saturday, 28th/Sunday, 29th September 2019 – Vaals, Aachen, Ghent, Rotterdam, Home I started Saturday with a run that took in two countries, literally exercising my right to freedom of movement while I still had it. I ran the half mile to the Dutch/German border and then went about a mile into Germany before turning round…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 15, Restaurant Hotel Kasteel Bloemendal, Vaals
Friday, 27th September 2019 – Restaurant Hotel Kasteel Bloemendal, Vaals We had another deal where our dinner was included in our room rate, and so we didn’t need to worry too much about where we should go that evening. All we needed to do was get our act together and wander down to the ground…
Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 15, Waldkirch-Buchholz, Schonach, Triberg, Vaals
Friday, 27th September 2019 – Waldkirch-Buchholz, Schonach, Triberg, Vaals Most of the day was spent in the car on a variety of German autobahns, peering into clouds of spray and trying not to crash but before that we managed both a small amount of shopping and some sightseeing. First though, one more very good breakfast…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 14, Gasthaus zum Raben, Horben
Thursday, 26th September 2019 – Raben, Horben On Thursday evening we set off on a white-knuckled drive from Glottertal, through Freiburg and up to the village of Horben, which seemed to involve rather more hairpin bends than I cared for, as well as fairly dramatic stretch when we first had to run on the tram…
Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 14, Freiburg im Breisgau
Thursday, 26th September 2019 – Freiburg im Breisgau After another good breakfast we set off to go and take a look at the city of Freiburg im Breisgau and this time we would again leave the car behind. Using the Konus card that all hotel guests are given, we could catch one of the half…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 13, Schwarzenberg’s Traube, Glottertal
Wednesday, 25th September 2019 – Schwarzenberg’s Traube, Glottertal So it’s Wednesday and we discover that we can’t eat at the hotel because Wednesday is the day the kitchen is closed – I know, an odd concept in many countries where hotel kitchens never close, but many of these places are family run businesses and everyone…
Travel 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 13, Sankt Peter, Breisach, Ihringen
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…
