Transit

Safely returned my key this morning - phew!
And off we went to the station. We didn't have much waiting to do this morning which was really appreciated because we were both tired - we basically just got straight on the train.
The country of Germany simply does not do free wifi.
No fast food chain, no public transport - it's annoying! I need to check the map! 😑

It took 2.5hrs to get to Frankfurt. The Train was delayed by 15mins.
Germany is meant to have the most anal system and a 1 minute delay is supposedly unheard of. Ha! So many have been late.
The one before us was also late.

Arrived in Frankfurt and our hostel was only 100m from the station woohoo!

Check in went fine.
Ermmm like 40% of guests are African which is a little weird.
And then there is like 3 babies and old people?

There is 60 year old man in our room who is really weird and breaths really loudly.

2 seedy African men than are a bit suspicious too. Really unfriendly.

We went for a quick walk around town. I think I like it more than cologne though we haven't seen much.
It's quite modern but has more green.

Came back home. We mayyyy have gotten some donuts on the way 🤗

We had a nap.

There is a free pasta dinner in the hostel we put our name down for. It was actually really nice.

Back to bed.
Tomorrow is explore day.

There is currently a man singing in the corridor.
He isn't very good..

I was perfectly fine in my bed for the past 3 hours reading but now I've decided to sleep I'm unbearably hot.
I've taken my pants off even though creepy man is in his bed. It's dark so hopefully he can't see lol

Reflection time cause I am too hot to sleep.

I like Germany overall but Berlin is the clear winner so far. I think it's probably one of the easier languages to learn because their words sound different to each other. They are really ugly but clearly distinguishable. Italian and Frenchis like one giant word.

I am ready to come home I think.
Still going to stay to the end but if we left for home tomorrow I wouldn't be that disappointed. Everything is starting to look to same and we are just really really really tired. The days are feeling longer which is silly because daylight is significantly shorter. I think it's probably because we have seen 1000 churches so there is now less MUST SEES in each city.
Still really enjoying ourselves but the awe is gone.
Sick of living out of a backpack too lol
But I was saying to Will I am soooo happy with the type of bag we bought because the ones you have to stuff everything in from the top hole would have sent me crazy by now.

Don't want to go back to work though soooo hahahahah 😅

I am apprehensive about the snow because I am convinced Will is going to hurt his knee.

I miss my cat.

When I get home I am going to need a week by myself.
No Will, no moving around, just me and my own thoughts, in a private den. With Thaddeus of course..

God I miss tv.
I want a criminal minds marathon.

I have prepared a list of foods I want as soon as I'm home:

Cod loaf spinach dip made by Helen
Chicken pesto pizza from crust
West ryde pub schnitzel and gravy
Chinese food - any
Mi-go-reng *
Avocado stack from coffee emporium
Hurricane ribs
Snack pack - west Ryde kebab store
Mcdonalds gravy chips
Cinnamon donuts from donut king
Twisties/burger rings
Normal orange Fanta
Chicken avocado wrap from lewrap
Dads skillful creation of chicken 2 minute noodles
My own chicken cashew nut stir fry
El Paso taco pack

There is more I'm sure. My list is relatively new.

Germany is country 28 on this trip and I believe 37 in my life. Good job me lol.

We brainstormed at dinner the other day what our favourite places have been..

It's hard to say because I know I LOVED Macedonia but because it was so long ago I can't accurately compare it to more recent countries

Our top 5 went like this though
In no order..

Harry:
Belgium
Macedonia
Bosnia
Bulgaria
Romania

I also really like Denmark and Latvia.

Will:
Italy
Belgium
Bulgaria
Macedonia
Moldova

He also liked Norway

But that's just our countries as wholes.

See cause I lovedddddddd the hikes in Norway but disliked Oslo.

I think I loved Denmark because of the deer park 😂
Estonia what I saw I also loved. TALLINN😍
But maybe we didn't see enough for me to confidently add it to the list 🤔
