Today's plan was to tour through a number of the beautiful villages set against the backdrop of the Vosges mountains. It is harvest time and the fields and villages are a hive of activity even before you factor in all the tourists.
Our plans were dealt a blow by various factors - a late start due to us both having a terrible night in the confines of our attic bedroom. I am developing a lean to avoid smacking my head on all the beams. The day dawned wet and with constant scuttling showers.
We enjoyed a very pleasant visit to Kayserberg, which was much quieter than Riquewihr, but at least as beautiful. Another wander around the even quieter but very beautiful village of Bergheim followed as the weather closed in.
There was nothing to do but to beat a retreat back to the loft at Riquewihr for a little more rest. And of course the sun returned at this moment as we grabbed a little rest in the birds nest.
Evening at home with the TD doing the cooking after a little tasting of last years vintage at a local bar. While in Alsace ....... etc!
