Day 5

Friday 22 May 2009

After an awful nights sleep (thunder, lightning) we finally made it through to Day 5! So after a hearty breakfast of bacon, eggs and fresh rolls and a morning snooze for Dave we set out to explore the delights of Freiburg on our bikes. The cycle paths here are very good and high priority there were bikes everywhere. It was also Alex's first ride anywhere and we thought that as there was a cycle path it might be a good first journey. He did really well although Katie had kittens for the second time this holiday as we rode alongside the river with a sheer drop off to the right. Because of the constant stream of bikes Alex had to ride on the right and avoid falling off the edge. Freiburg is a lovely town. Loads of character to the buildings with all sorts of amazing architecture, cobbled streets, trams, street entertainers and more. We just strolled around the town soaking up the atmosphere and the only thing we bought was a cucumber!! On the way back we had a quick stop at the park for the kids and then it was home again for tea. No dishwasher here so the boys are getting very used to drying up.
