    Arrived in Frankfurt at 6.30am. Still tired. Weather matches my mood...wet and Miserable! After all the nice friendly people in Singapore this place is the exact opposite!

    Welcome to NZ..?...oops I mean Frankfurt! Wet and cold. So much for summer in Europe. Got onto a Hop on & Hop off bus to have a look around. Most buildings are not very tall as ground is made of sand and clay. Got Twin Tower here which houses banking institutions. The locals call them Debit & Credit.There are some nice people here. Got instructions to bus stop and he said to enjoy the nice weather ( dry humour). Went beside river Maine and over what they think are great bridges (not).Too wet to get off and do sightseeing so just went to look at shops then back to the hotel to watch TV and read book. Went to a good Ole German pub for dinner. Friendly staff. Had Wienner schnitzel of course! Graham and John had pork knuckle with sour crowt cabbage. Ainsley had a salad. Healthy Bitch! Leaving early tomorrow morning to take bus to Prague.Read more

  • Going to Prague

    July 26, 2017 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Today we are on the bus from Frankfurt to Prague. Leave at 9.15am and arrive at 6.15pm. Rained most of the day but saw some nice scenery. Noticed the difference when we crossed the Cszh border. Lot poorer then Germany. Houses are older and road is in poorer condition. Prague looks amazing. Lots of beautiful old buildings. Will look around tomorrow. Had a quick dinner and into bed. They still use the Kŕoner currency here as well as the Euro.Read more
