Monday, March 29 we took the train to Strasbourg, France. I l-o-v-e France!! Everything that was wrong with the hotel in Cologne became a distant memory after we checked into the new hotel, where we sadly only had one night. The interesting thing was that the hotel in Cologne was more expensive. Here they upgraded our room and it was altogether a more comfortable place to be. It also was close to the train station for our short stay. We were allowed to check in early, then we set off to see Strasbourg. We meandered through the streets and made our way to the very impressive cathedral. Inside we found a lot of stained glass, which I love, an astronomical clock, mosaic tile on the floors, and more.

After leaving the cathedral area we went to Petite France. It was fun exploring the canals and seeing where they went.
