Another day, another country.
Today it was the turn of Strasbourg, the capital of the Alsace region in eastern France and the official seat of the European Parliament. It's also just across the border from Germany and has changed its stripes from German to French so many times, it's surprising it isn't a complete schizophrenic mess.
There was a canal ride along the waterways of this ancient city, a visit to the astounding Notre Dame Cathedral and a wander around cobbled streets that have played host to human beings for centuries and centuries.
Warning again for excess images; but the places we have visited on this media trip are just too, too beautiful to restrict myself to one or two photos. Also a couple of you have emailed to say that all the images aren't loading - I apologise and can only blame the less than ideal internet connection on the ship. But I promise to sort it once I get back onto dry land.
