Welcome to Frankfurt!



So perhaps we haven't given the city much of chance only spending a day here but after the 24 hour flight the first day was never going to be a fanfare.


We arrived at 6am and found a dink little hotel right next to frankfurt main train station!


Initially we thought the city was just eerily quiet but then we realised it was 8 o'clock on a Saturday... But we did come accross some gorgeous sights! 






 have no idea what any of then are because soon after we were overcome with the desperate need to shower so popped back to the hotel and slipped into a catatonic state which involved staring at this ceiling....


Before hunger brought us to the streets again. Being in Frankfurt we thought it only fit to have a frankfurter...turns put no one in Germany knows what that is. Our hotel friend told us to go to the train station but we couldn't find the bratwurst kiosk supposedly located between platform 10 and 12...and lucky we didn't bevause we did find a delicious fresh food market with bratwurst and curry wurst and apfelwein galore!


We had to choose and embarass ourselves with our feeble German phrases..."one of them, bitte' and spilling tomatoe sauce all down my front (obviously, that was just me) but we did get our frankfurters (and some deep fried elderflower...which is just like a donut only much much larger)


So danke shern Frankfurt it's been swell! Off to Amsterdam tomorrow to play, walk, and eat some more. FYI 'm going to bed now...it's 8pm...solid.
