The next day we traveled to Strasbourg and
spent the majority of the day on the train. We left Brugge
at 10 am and did not arrive until a bit after 5pm. Our hotel
is in the perfect spot, situated within walking distance of
the train station and the main square. All I can say about
this town is that it is simply AMAZING and it is a MUST for
anyone coming to France. It is a smaller classier version of
Paris.
Our first night here was ruined by the
weather unfortunately. It was extremely stormy so we did not
venture out very much. We fist went to the Cathedral of
Notre Dame which was breathtaking, I was literally
speechless. I have never seen something this beautiful and
this massive in my entire life. It is MUCH more
unforgettable than the Notre Dame of Paris. We then had
dinner and went back to our hotel.
Today has been wonderfully laid back. We just
have been strolling along the streets and poking in and out
of different places. We went back to the cathedral to
see it in better light, went to the Museum of Notre Dame
(which houses a collection of Medieval art), and went
to the Protestant chruch. The most interesting part of the
day I have found so far is the organ we saw in the Protestant
chruch because it is the organ Mozart played on when he came
to Strasbourg. There was a sign next to it from Mozart which
said that not many people came to his concert. If they only
knew...
