The Sunshine at last! Woke to a beautiful blue sky across Alsace. By the time we had organised breakfast the "gazole" of motorhomes had dispersed to all corners of Europe!
We had a plan for the day which DID NOT include charging off at an ungodly hour ie, not before 10.00 am.
Once we got moving we set a course for Ribeauville, another delightful village on the Alsace Wine Trail. Surrounded by medieval ramparts the town is, again, the centre of a very strong wine industry. Being a Monday it was very pleasant wandering around this old town, with the Vosges Mountains just at its back door!
Shade was an important factor today - for the first time - and we were able to find a great spot for a very French lunch.
After lunch we wandered down the road to an equally, if not better, village on this wine trail, Riquewihr. Riquewihr is a rural medieval walled city. It is an outstanding place to visit, sit and have a cool beer. You could be forgiven to think this is the good life! And the local Hirsch beer was very pleasant as well.
Keeping in mind that we had to get Maddie back to the Basel-Mulhouse airport, we decided to head south again to hydro electrical station on the Rhine at Rosenau,an area on the Rhine, to enjoy a last meal and wine with Maddie before her trip back to London.
Droped Maddie off at the airport before crossing into Germany and to our overnight in the Black Foest at Schonau.
