It was a very nice day, & the germans had the exact same thoughts as me, to visit Strasbourg(Strassburg)!!!!!
I took the early trains at 8am so that I might spend most of my sunlight time in Strasbourg, but when the jammed packed train reached Wissembourg, there were 2-hundred or so other germans waiting at the station, for that old, small & run-down french train that will take us to Strasbourg in 1-hr.
At the ticket office, the lady told me that I have to wait 1-h for the next train to Strasbourg becoz the train was too packed. I was so mad, esp since the temperature at Wissembourg was -3 grad & snow flakes were falling on my head! And by the time I reach Strasbourg, it would have been 12+ already. I told her I will be back next week, earlier, to take the train to Strasbourg......I know, economic crunch, so everyone wants to take a cheap train to france......
Went round Wissembourg for a while, to the cake shop to buy a bag of star cookies, the church & the little french Xmas markt!
