Early autumn holiday, 5 September

Siegen. 

The USP of Freudenberg turns out to be the half-timbered houses in its centre, built all at once after fire destroyed them not once, but twice, most recently in the 17th century (like Blandford Forum) and modernised in the 1970s.


After we had spent a pleasant half hour wandering around, we found a large supermarket, so the SW went for a walk and I did a bit of shopping. The pumpkins are in 
but no sign of any Federweisse as yet, alas. It will come soon, I expect. 

After that, we got some beer from the off-licence across he car park, and then headed on. We wanted the Satnav to take us into Siegen on our way to Netphen, which it duly did, but somehow missed the car park we were aiming for and I send to have misprogrammed it so while we thought it was taking us to Netphen, it thought we were going somewhere else! That got sorted out in the end, but alas, the aire in Netphen wouldn't do. It was a car park for a spa pool, but alas, the pool was closed for a couple of weeks which meant that the services were also out of use. It would have been nice! 

So we came away and back to this aire on the outskirts of Siegen, which is OK but rather full. I was very tired by then and totally out of cope, so had a nap and felt a bit better. 

But why are all the museums once would like to go to never open when one is in town? There are two here, neither open tomorrow!
