Frankfurt for 1.5 days
Arriving in Frankfurt airport, we were armed with a sign we made so that the lady who was to pick us up could spot us. Her name was Ira, a friend of munkee's uncle's. She was easily spotted while we pushed our luggage cart around slowly looking for a Russian-looking woman. Presto! Found her.
We had 2 things to do before we could leave the airport - confirm our flight was leaving from the same airport as where we arrived at, and check in our big luggage that we did not need for the 1 night we were going to be in Frankfurt. It took us a little longer than it would have if it was just the two of us, but what the heck.
Next challenge was to find our way to the hotel by public transport and again, it took us a little longer than expected. We even went the wrong way at first and had to get off and take the right train.
After much sweating and feeling lost, we found our hotel, which happened to be in area that is mostly commercial buildings. Hotel itself was nice and verz funky. Though it was small, it was functional - bright, happy colours to wake up to and eat breakfast to. We loved it there. And the best part of it all, it was air-conditioned. Goodness knows how hot it was in Frankfurt!
We were starved from walking around so after visiting the Romerplaty, which was gorgeous, we went in search of a place to eat. Has anyone ever told zou how many doner places there are in Germany? Well, that was what we ended up eating! And were the doners gigantic for 4 Euros, too.
On our own we went to walk the streets of downtown Frankfurt some more, until we got tired and decided to head back home. Bussing it sounded like a good idea since our feet were tired, but the bus was taking a while so we walked back instead. Was our sleep that night so restful though!
The next morning, for 6 Euros each, we had breakfast downstairs in the hotel, where the room was so funkily designed and everything was just cool looking. We took our time with breakfast, enjoying the ambience and the food - cold cuts, cheese, bread, yogurt, coffee, tea and hard-boiled eggs. Yum!
We checked out of our hotel by 10:30 am and were on our way to downtown Frankfurt. We walked all around, admiring the shops and having ice cream, and walking by the river. It was a very hot day. Somewhere in the downtown, we saw a metal structure, enclosed, and 4 or 5 men in black suits and sunglasses approach the structure. They had with them a metal briefcase each and proceeded to conduct investigations on the object. We could clearly see that it was all a setup and they were pretending so we went over to look at the laptop and it wasn't even on!
