Black Forest Wander Day 5 + 1. Postscript.


Left early for the big city after nicest breakfast of the trip. Leaving Baiersbronn we had a near miss experience with a run (yes, an actual run) across to the connecting train platform. Herr Covid was livid!

Gasping for breath we threw ourselves through the closing doors of the train, to the cruel amusement of a group of older women sharing a morning Prosecco and pretzels.

Our next connection was a little easier and brought us to Freiburg where we installed ourselves in the lovely Hotel Barbara (dating from the Wilhelminian era, which is code for no lifts in the building. We wandered in search of coffee, were ignored by serving staff in a typical German cafe, left a nil points review, and found ourselves in a typical German Lebanese restaurant where we ate an unfeasibly large amount of food.

Back for a snooze before hitting Feirling Biergarten. Sat and recuperated in the warm early evening sunshine over a couple of Inselhopf Helles biers.

Off for classy evening meal of sausage, interrupted by a fire alarm at our new favourite pub and brew house, and a sleep before two long travels tomorrow.

Journeys end.
