| Today is a holiday called Pinkster Day (Pentecost). It is Monday, June 9th and Day 54 of my trip. I have decided to stay in France for the morning following the Rhone-Rhine canal to Strasbourg and cross back over the Rhine into Germany in the afternoon. |
 |
| These are the markings on the road that indicate upcoming curves. |
 |
| The Rhone-Rhine canal is a significant waterway of France, that can be considered to connect the Rhine and the Rhone, and thereby the North Sea and the Mediterranean. |
 |
| Some big boats were moored to the sides. |
 |
| There were small locks once in a while. |
 |
| The path was nicely paved and perfectly straight. |

| Silver by a lock |
 |
| After going through the areas of Boofzheim, Obenheim, Gerstheim, and Erstein I came to the outskirts of Strasbourg. |
 |
| A rower on the smooth waters of the canal |
 |
| There were several rowing shells going in both directions. |
 |
| As I entered Strasbourg an old protective wall surrounded one of the first places. |
 |
| A stately old building |
 |
| A rental bicycle |
 |
| The tourists are disembarking from the sightseeing boat in one of the canals in the city. |
 |
| This narrow street was the way to the city centrum. |
