The journey from Norwich to Amsterdam and then Amsterdam to Basle and then Basle to Freiburg was a little fraught! The flight to Amsterdam was delayed and we has a very short time to get to the next flight which was, seemingly, miles away! We hustled through the airport and were relieved to find the Basle flight delayed. Idly looking at our boarding passes for this flight we realised that we were seated far apart, so we went to the desk and lo and behold, there were new passes in our names waiting for us - and in business class. We ate the superior lunch in favour of the tuna sandwiches we has brought from home. At Basle, our luggage failed to appear and there was the laborious task of working our way through the questions on a machine to register the fact. We caught the bus to Freiburg and signed in at the Hotel am Rathaus. The room was fine, with a splendid bathroom. We later realised that the bed was incredibly high and it was an effort to climb onto it and the shower tray was very slippery. Two minor complaints! We had already booked a restaurant , Grosser Meyerhof, and it turned out to be a busy, laid back traditional restaurant with good honest food and an excellent waitress. Our luggage had arrived by the time we got back to the hotel - thank goodness!
