Frankfurt

It seems I was in Frankfurt on June 5… I’m getting there, I swear!! Frankfurt is manageable… I was only there 24hours!

Arrived in Frankfurt from Vienna on a morning flight, trained to the city and checked into a cheap hotel. Rish went for a nap, and I went for a walk…

Giant Euro

The giant Euro is probably my strongest memory of Frankfurt, but let’s see what else comes flooding back as I look at my photos! It IS pretty impressive, though. In a nerdy way…

Frankfurt

Frankfurt
Like in the other cities, I ran into various cultural events. In Frankfurt it was a Thai festival!

Frankfurt
The Bear and the Bull outside the Bear and Bull pub

Awesome bike!
Want to get around on one of these?

Frankfurt

Went for a couple of walks along the river… one by myself that day, and then with Rish in the evening. Gorgeous little spot. :)

Frankfurt
Look at me, with my hands on my hips!

Frankfurt
On the museums side of the river. It could be art, but I don’t know these things.

Frankfurt
Boat Doner Kebabs!
hell YES! Kebabs from a boat ftw!

Bier (Beer) Bike
Blokes on a Bierbike

Duck
Quack!

Frankfurt
More Turkish and Palestinian protesters

Mini Wooder Jewish Ghetto
I went into the Jewish Museum and saw this cool model of the old ghetto. Way vercrowded, no wonder it kept burning down…

Patriotic German bread
Support the German Football team, buy Kamps

Frankfurt - Plan lines
Condensation trails over Frankfurt airspace. I wonder where they were going?

Frankfurt
Luring ducks

That night, we went to dinner for Chinese… it may or may not have made us ill, as something had us both n the toilet for the following couple of days in our different locations… it tasted nice!

Frankfurt
MAGIC WOK, Jade Wok

Ginormous Cokes
HUGE cokes.

Best quality IN THE WORLD
The BEST QUALITY IN THE WORLD

Frankfurt
Yum, but possibly not good. Unsure. It COULD have been the rolls from the bakery with cheese..

Next morning it was off for pastries for breakfast!

Frankfurt

Then off to the station for my trip to Cologne and Rish’s to the Black Forest…

Ok, I guffawed at the statue of the Euro. I hope it was intended as an homage to being part of the EU, rather than being a shrine to money? :)

oooh that train station looks familiar! We only had a day in Frankfurt too – as thats where we picked up our campervan from for our Europe road trip!

@Lorraine – There’s plenty more Germany food and photos to come – but after a week in Vienna and Prague we felt like a break from sauasages!
