France, Switzerland and Germany

Ya, so not much internet between Dijon and here! And not much time here to post much.

Dijon: cute little town, explored a number of churches and the local market, bought some Burgundy wine. All in all a nice spot to stop in.

Mullhouse: Unexpectedly lovely town. Town hall is very proud of its roots, has a really cool museum, and we ate some churro's!

Switzerland - we went into Basel and were once again really surprised - it was a lovely little town with some interesting architecture, some nice history, and a cool river. Great intro to Switz.

Zurich: we were there to a) see the city and b) meet up with my friend Reesa. "A" worked, but "B" didn't. We walked around the town and went into some churches and generally got a feeling for the place, but didn't have a lot of time.

Karlsruhe: To get here we had to drive alongside the Black Forest (a la Cake) for about 2.5 hours. Yup, big green trees. But it was really pretty, especially thinking back about it now! We got to Karlsruhe quite late, so didn't get to see much until the next morning: big palace, big german town layout.

Koblenz: On the way to Koblenz we stopped at Maulbronn, a UNESCO protected monestary, then Heidelburg, an awesome german castle, and finally Worms, a cute little german town along the Rhine. Koblenz itself is at the confluence of the Mosel and Rhine rivers - very cool location, not much space to build!! We explored the town and visited some old churches.

Rhine Valley: Drove sections of both the Mosel and Rhine Valley's, both of which have wicked castles on the land above and amazing little villages along the river. We loved this part and definitely want to come back.

Cologne (Koln): AWESOME Cathedral. Big dream of mine fulfiled. We spent all our time here exploring the Cathedral - we'll have to visit the other 20 churches some other time.

We are now in Amsterdam. We visited Utrecht on our way up - such a sweet little town. Amsterdam is its usual self, but a total nightmare for driving because of all the bike riders. Ugh.

Ok, that's it for now!! bye!!
