Jeudi - Death Avoided By Chocolat
We took the Intercity to Strasbourg to check out the Alsations, the sausage (Stras, Fritz or Devon depending on which state of Australia you grew up in)and the famed Chistmas markets.
Because we are old buggers we got a 25% discount on our train fare which, according to our calculations, meant the price came down to 150 Euro. But no. The tickets cost 152.80. Turns out the last 2 stations are in France and the discount stops at the border.
Strasburg is very beautiful, historic and interesting but absolutely freezing. Big Jim bought another coat to wear on top of the one he already had and all the clothes beneath.
Dinner was crepes in the markets and to drink Vin Chaud followed by Chocolat Chaud which was a cupful of melted chocolate with coconut sprinkled on top. Rich and sickly, it tasted like a liquid lamington but warded off death by hyperthermia for a couple more hours.
