We had a big itinerary planned for this week, but after a few days in Alsace we decided to take it slow.
In France eating is important. In Germany being full is important. In Alsace they subscribe to the latter but have a touch more sophistication (and price) than over the German border.
Had a great meal in a kitschy little restaurant in Colmar (alsace) last night that was booked out since our arrival. See braised pork below...
Today we got to know the local vineyards a little more at Albert Mann. Their rieslings we're the stars, and once again the sweeties made us both go wow.
Stopped by a life sized village of dolls houses in Riquewihr. At a linen store we tried on our best French to discuss the health ailments that come from local cuisine. The town rests at the foot of a hill of vines. Linen and vines- a great fit for Rach and Trav.
Nice hock/ vines meet the pretty town/ perhaps we can convince them to expand in to Oz?
