Day 6: Strasbourg, France
Strasbourg was my favorite city of the trip. It reminded me of Belle’s village, but bigger 
We docked on the German side of the Rhine in Kehl, and took the coach over for a morning walking tour.
Our guide was ADAMANT about being aware of pickpockets… so that’s what I remember most? But the cathedral was absolutely breathtaking and the astronomical clock inside was amazing. It was really interesting to learn about the history of the city and Petite France.
They were in the process of decorating the big tree, finishing up the life-size nativity in the cathedral, and gearing up for their Christmas markets… I am now dying to do a Christmas Market cruise!
After lunch on the ship, Dad went on the Mercedes Benz factory excursion and Mom and I went shopping in Strasbourg, so everyone had their ideal afternoon…
Colmar is another excursion offered here that I heard was amazing, and I would like to do next time.
Dinner this night was so fun. It was Viking’s “Taste of Germany” night, and some of the staff were dressed in lederhosen. Pretzels, cheeses, and meats were on each table, and then there was a big buffet of different German dishes. At the end, they surprised me with a special gluten free dessert.
