Friday 16th June - Strasbourg

We both awoke early, conscious of the work load still to do.  It was so hot yesterday that we didn't get as much done as we had hoped!   We had finished our jobs and tidied ourselves up in plenty of time for Gary and Tinas' arrival.  They flew from Lanzarote to Madrid, then on to Paris yesterday, where they stayed the night - the only problem being that the Madrid - Paris flight was delayed for about three hours, so they didn't arrive at their hotel till 2 a.m........not a lot of night left for them.  They took the TGV from Paris to Strasbourg, stopped at a supermarket to buy goodies then took a taxi to the port.  They arrived with us just before 2 p.m. and we spent time catching up, having opened the obligatory bottle of Cremant!  We had booked a taxi into town at 6.30 to take us to Petite France and thought we would have a walk round before finding a suitable restaurant for dinner.  We found ourselves back near the cathedral and decided on a different restaurant to where we had dined on Wednesday.  The menu didn't look all that promising but in fact, the food was very good.  We chose this area because of the nearby taxi rank but when we turned the corner, there were no taxis to be found.  We ended up waiting for about half an hour but arrived back at the port well before midnight and after a digestif, took ourselves to bed.
