Nuremberg to Frankfurt

After breakfast we had a couple of hours up our sleeve before our train to Frankfurt, so we left the bags at the hotel and went for another walk along the city's historical mile.

We ended up in the main market square at Schöner Brunnen (Beautiful Fountain), a 19m tall fountain in the shape of a Gothic spire. It was built in 1385 and has two brass rings embedded in the fence said to bring good luck to those who spin them.

We purchased some local gingerbread and pastries for the journey and made our way to the train station.

The 2 hour trip to Frankfurt was comfortable and smooth, with the train less than a quarter full.

We grabbed a pork steak sandwich from the food vans near the station and walked the 2km journey to our accomodation via a number of caches.

Our accommodation is only metres from the last remaining section of the Staufenmauer, the city wall originally constructed in 1180.

As we are staying in a self-contained apartment, dinner was dine-in, after a visit to the supermarket to purchase supplies.Okumaya devam et
