We also walked around the town of Breisach. It was a quaint area with macadam streets, but cobblestone walkways and parking areas. Homes come right up to the walkways.
It is so surprising to us that so many people in Europe still smoke. There was even a cigarette vending machine!
After a delicious lunch, we got on a bus to go to the Black Forest. It was 1-1/2 hours each way and many hairpin turns!! We were all disappointed that we only had an hour at the destination. However, the ride there was filled with information by our guide. We passed wine-producing villages with the vineyards growing in terraces on the mountainside. Once we arrived, we watched a demonstration of cuckoo clocks and had a lesson on making a Black Forrest cake. No samples!! The clocks were beautiful!!
Dinner was extra special tonight. We sat there for 2-1/2 hours.
We've met new friends from Tampa and have really enjoyed their company. We'll be sad to say good-bye to them tomorrow. They are on a different trip extension than we are.
