We had breakfast in our cosy and practical hotel room with some bread from a bakery and left at 10.40.
Today our route lead us straight south out of Strasbourg along the Canal du Rhône au Rhin. It was fun to compete with the boats on the canal.
We were now cycling through the large plains bordering this part of the Rhine river on either side and the landscape was very different to the hills of the previous days. The spring blossom made the trees look particularly beautiful.
We passed several nice looking restaurants along the canal, but they were all closed. After two hours, we stopped for an hour at a rest area beside the canal.
In Schwobsheim, we turned off the canal to look for a place to have lunch, but didn't find anywhere.
So after another two hours of cycling, we stopped for 45 minutes to cook pasta on the trangia next to the canal just before Marckolsheim.
In Marckolsheim, we checked into our gîtes for the night just after 5 o'clock, having completed 53km of cycling today.
