We left Penny and Rob's this morning after the obligatory group photo and drove through Switzerland via Bern and Basel up the Rhine Valley towards Colmar an on to Ribeauvillé, the site of our final campsite. The drive was quite straightforward and not too far, at around 300km. We were a bit early for the campsite so stopped for lunch in a town called Ostheim, which despite its name is actually in France, not Germany. I am struck by how German Alsace feels but I guess that shouldn't be a surprise given its history.
We got to the campsite in good time and got the tent up up in time to walk the 10 minutes into Ribeauvillé, which is another picture-postcard town, if a bit full of tourists. We had a light dinner of cured meats and cheeses in a wine bar while tasting some local wines and beers.
