Freiburg and visiting Rhodri and Sita

We drove about 60km from our campsite into Germany today, to visit Freiburg.  Germany's warmest City. It has almost as much Solar PV microgeneration installed as the whole of the UK!

We parked at the Hauptbanhof and walked into town.  We found a nice lunch of bauernspätzle which was perhaps a bit heavy and then visited the Münster  - a pretty big and impressive building.

We also visited St. Martin's church and tried to visit the Augustiner museum but it doesn't open on Mondays.  We finished our exploring with a walk South and then West along the river, crossing to the West of the railway and coming back to the Hauptbanhof from the West. 

Having spent the afternoon exploring we met Rhodri at the hauptbanhof at 7pm.  We went for a drink in a bar called schlappen (which Rhodri thought was like the Marsh Harrier!) and Sita joined us.  We went on then to find a Mexican restaurant where we had a nice meal although I must say there were no discernible chillies in it.  Germans don't really do hot and spicy in the way that we do.
