The early bird catches the worm

Woke up really early today to enjoy a quiet walk through Le Petit France before the tourists arrived.

Of course, I had to try the famous ice cream from Gelato Amino that looks like a rose blossom. Really impressive ice cream art! You could pick as many flavors as you wanted—you just had to say if you wanted a large, medium, or small “flower.” I went for three flavors. It was delicious, but maybe a bit pricey.

In the afternoon, I checked off the last item on my to-do list—I went to see the astronomical clock in Strasbourg Cathedral.

Took one last walk along the Île and, in perfect weather, discovered some cool street art along the way.

After three days in Strasbourg, I’ve gotta say, it’s a really great city. There’s something cool to spot around every corner—whether it’s those awesome old half-timbered houses or some modern buildings. You just can’t get enough of it.

Gotta say, I love the tram. I think every city should have one. It makes getting from A to B so much easier, and you don’t have to rely on a car.

If you’re into sweet pastries, France is definitely the place to be. I enjoy them now and then, but a lot of it was just too sweet for me. In the mornings, I’d rather have my typical cheese bread and eggs for breakfast—classic German style.もっと詳しく
