Kembs

 

Beautiful sunrises, follow cold nights, and bright sunshine and clear blue then fill the day. It was all downhill now to Mulhouse. Our cycle along the canal was pleasant. We stopped to look at a bell that was erected to signify the local extinction of the curlew. A few barges sailed by, as always their owners waved us on our way. Today we would cycle through Mulhouse, stopping briefly on the way through alongside the canal to eat lunch. Our destination was a campsite at Kembs. Just ten miles from Basel, our overall destination. We'd not bothered to stock up on food as there was an Aldi supermarket close by. It was closed for five months. Why? Oh dear we had to source an evening meal. Angela went out to search and returned with two chicken burgers and chips from a nearby restaurant. The food was fantastic. The French don't stint on quality. Just after we arrived at the campsite, Anneka cycled in, on her return ride across the border to Basel, she thought we'd probably be here. It was nice to see her again, and perhaps one day we'll visit her at her home in Rouen.
