A slight change of direction


After some reflection on the hastening of the European winter we decided to tweak our route slightly to try and stay warmer for longer. Our new route will see us head east through Switzerland and Austria now, rather than the absolute middle of winter. 

With our new course set, our first stop was Strasbourg, and then a few days meandering through the very pretty Alcase region in eastern France. When we had dinner with Monique’s family in Holland, her Great Uncle Bernard suggested a driving route through the area. At the time we hadn’t planned on heading that way, but with our new plans, it lined up perfectly.

It turned out to be a fantastic tip. The area is particularly beautiful, drawing lots of architectural influence from Germany and Switzerland.
