Wed 22 March 6° cold Freiburg, Germany

After a very wet night the rain stopped for our walk into and around the city. It was very cold all day.
Trams, cyclists and water channels which have flowed for centuries thru the  old city, to water the animals and as fire protection for the city, legend has it that if you step into the water you will marry a girl from Freiburg.

The Schwabentor behind with the arch out of the old city.

Came across Munster Platz, farmers and traders market with fresh produce and flowers, tulips in bloom here as weather 2 weeks more advanced than in Holland. There were at least half a dozen food stalls in line next to each other all selling hot sausages of various kinds with onions and help yourself mustard and sauce for €2.50.

 

The Herz -Jesu (Heart of Jesus) Church

We met an American from  Boulder  Colardo who was very knowledgeable and gave us a few places in Germany and Holland to see.

It was a big walk today and we both felt very tired when we got back to camp, should be getting fit after all this walking. Lovely to hear the birds today funny how the pigeons sound the same the whole world over coo cocoo......more trees with blossom coming out.

Pork fillet and veges for dinner with the Alsace Pinto Gris from the wine trail.
