Canal drive back to Mulhouse
After winding our way into Germany and back, we recrossed the river and traveled along the canal between the Rhone and Rhein. This was our longest biking day, about 60 miles. Alsace isn't very big and we hadn't been trying to do great distances. There is a lot to see. But we had to get back to Mulhouse, as the next day was our last. Along the canal we saw quite a lot of wildlife.
Mulhouse
In Mulhouse we had a last nice lunch in town - lamb chops and warm chevre salad on toast. We rode out the suburbs along a mix of decent bike paths on the edge of roads to the Ecomusee, about rural life in the 1800s. It was interesting to see their bike paths.
Home
The trip home was long of course. The taxi at 4am took our two boxes with no special complaint, and none of the airlines worried about them. We just had to go to "oversized baggage" to get them, though the small one came once on the regular carousel. The boxes were kind of a wreck, but nothing was damaged.
