Ok clearly i am very slack at updating! No surprise there considering my usual record of keeping up with emails etc :P
Have included photos of the huge cathedral in Strasburg, Vera being a turtle a the science centre Strasburg, a beautiful little canal filled with old half-wood houses in Colmar and Ve on a trampoline thingy in the town square in Mulhouse (all of which are in France). Unfortunately i'm not much of a graffic artist but at least you can see the pics (well if you turn your head side ways lol)
Anyway, Strasburg was lovely, Colmar was also a very nice little town. We hung out with some of the guys we met at the hostel which was fun - a definite novelty to be able to speak English for a while!! Strangely enough there were no girls at all (besides us) staying at Colmar ... hmmm ... we were too scared to ask why ;) Had a couple of days there and also finally bought a huge slab of nougat we have been seeing in heaps of shops. They make them like a large cake then just divide into wedges!!! OMG sooooo good :) Also did a walk in a nearby town up above the vinyards etc which was beautiful and actually got quite hot! Had fun getting back though cos the town was soo small it didn't even have a ticket machine to get a train ticket home! Thankgoodness we were with a Canadian guy who spoke French to explain to the guard.
Mulhouse was pleasant, tho we went there mainly to access the airport. Made friends with a Swiss mum and daughter from the hostel and Ve had a great time playing with someone her own age. Luckily daisy chains are universal and not dependant on speaking much of the same language :)
