My guest this week is my grandson, William.

He writes:

We travelled overnight by bus from Brussels to Strasbourg, arriving around 4am. We were unable to check into the hotel until 6am., so we decided to walk around.

Walking down the street and seeing the cathedral dominating the sky was quite a spectacular sight.

The contrast between how empty the city was at that time, compared to after 9am was amazing.

If we had arrived later in the day we wouldn’t have been able to imagine the streets so empty.
