Strasbourg!

I went to Strasbourg for the weekend to see Sonia, my friend from Glasvegas. 5 1/2 hours on the train and i arrived ready for a weekend of fun and frolics Strasbourg style!

















Sonia lunching in Germany..! we walked there for lunch - 20 mins, over a bridge and you're in Kehl - suddenly ordering a coffee is much more difficult...!















The Glasvegas massive of Strasbourg. Sonia, me, Emma and Gemma.
















The first german sign! i have no idea what it says... any thoughts anyone...?!



















Me and my new boyfriend, the german brioche man :D
















Me, Sonia and her Strasbourg girls in 'Le Salamandre' this time a drinking establishment in Strasbourg! Gemma (Glasgow), Sonia, Zara (Cork), me and Zoe (somewhere in Wales...!).


Yes, so yet again a good time was had by all. This weekend its Geneva - good times!!!

Hope you're all well.
