We’re onto our next adventure, once again headed east. Today, that meant packing a picnic of fresh baked brioche, a slab of Emmenthaler, 2 local apples and 3 bananas and heading to the Dijon train station at noon. We rode the high-speed train from Dijon to Basel, Switzerland, and then switched to another train from Basel to Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, where we arrived to our hotel mid-afternoon. We took a few pix along the way.
After fueling up, we did a quick walk around the city, most of which was completely rebuilt after being bombed by both sides in WWII and suffering extensive damage.
The Gothic-style Munster Cathedral remained untouched, however, which is fortunate, because it took three centuries to complete its construction and it’s really impressive, inside and out.
The spire is 116 meters (380 feet) high.
No Pastry of the Day today. :( Just more croissants and brioche. Will keep an eye out for some Black Forest cake in Freiburg.
