Today I woke up feeling off colour - a bit dizzy. Was it all the walking in the sun the day before? We decided to have a low key day and after breakfast wandered in the direction of a park and sat on a bench and watched the people, the school parties and the mothers and babies. We had lunch in an Inclusive Cafe which employed people with disadvantages, where we had stopped for coffee earlier. It was very well run and we had quiche and salad - in Freiburg the salads are enormous! We went back to the park and took a ride up the hill on a fenicular and wandered about a bit and took in the view. After another sit in the park we went back to the hotel and 'rested' and went out later to go to a concert we had seen advertised in the church next to the Inclusive cafe. There was a service going on in the church so we sat on a bench on the other side of the road waiting for signs of a concert. There were other people also looking uncertain and then I noticed that a man had walked round the side of the building and returned and fetched his wife. We got up and followed them round the building and found that the concert was reached by a side door! A quartet was playing. A Russian husband and wife and two other people who might not have been regulars. The husband gave a long introduction in German and we were left wondering which pieces they were playing in which order! They played Puccini, Greig and Mendelssohn. They were good musicians but we enjoyed the Mendelssohn most. We left promptly at the end in order to eat and found a restaurant open nearby - more of a beer place with food. Peter had a good schnitzel and I had sausage and mash with sauerkraut which was very tasty.
