A few days in Frankfurt...

Well, I am backdating this blog experience a bit. Since I last posted we have continued on from Frankfurt to Vienna. However, I must first recount some of the further experiences in Frankfurt.

Tuesday morning we awoke and made it down just in time for the free breakfast from our hostel, without plans it was nice to sleep in and recoup from the past day of travel. We spent the day wandering around Frankfurt again taking in the sites. Frankfurt is a fairly new city without much old architecture and history. We rode an elevator to the top of the Japan Tower (which we think was the Japan tower) at the recommendation of our hostel staff and the couple from the restaurant. From the tower we were able to overlook the city and plan some of the rest of our day.

Below is a view of Frankfurt from 54 stories.

After viewing the city at the tower we set off towards what we thought was the river. A few hours later, and who knows how many miles we had seen the University, the river, and were headed back to our hostel to check on our bags. Much to our surprise our bags were in the kitchen area of the hostel. After finally getting a chance to change our clothes we made our way down to a quaint street near the Opera house. From what we know, there is a large wine festival throughout Germany these past few months which would explain the hundreds of street vendors and wine vendors lining the streets near the Opera. It was a comfortable evening and we finished the evening with dinner.

Below is a photograph (for all the d.u.g.s. grillers) of the amazing meat markets throughout Frankfurt followed by a photo of the Opera.

The next morning was our flight to Vienna. The Frankfurt airport is quite possibly the most intricate airport I have flown through. There seem to be endless numbers of 747’s, men in business suits, terminals, check-in kiosks, etc. We were able to find our way without issue and arrived in Vienna yesterday morning.

As it has been raining for two days, we are trying to dry off and plan the rest of our trip towards Budapest this evening.

More on Vienna later…
