Frankfurt - The German B&B

Before I arrived to Frankfurt I need to tell you on my train trip from Rouen started… 6:24 am and I was standing for a platform waiting the train that supposed to arrive the but there was no sign of a train and people started to disappear from platform back to the station. I got the feeling that everything is not right so I went also back to station and saw on screens that every train were estimated to be delayed three hours because of technical problems on power lines there was no trains moving through Rouen. Luckily Laura has noticed same and picked me up from station so there was time for a morning nap before starting to solve the problem. Finally she drove me to another town where I was able to take a train to Paris 10:15am and almost two hours later I Finally to Paris instead of being there around 8 am. Then in a train From Paris to Frankfurt the conductor first charged me a double prize of seat reservation because he thought that a girl sitting next to me was my wife and the funniest thing that the girl didn't speak English so she didn't even understand the whole situation :D

That’s it for the journey and after I arrived to Frankfurt, I had only spent not even one hour in there and had already had a real German experience: First to enjoy a real döner kebab and after go to the bar and have a beer or two.  A really good combination by the way, even that usually I used to it another way around, first beer and then kebab…

Germans are usually known as beer drinkers so obviously that was the kind of thing to do. Since it was quite nice summer evening we just bought some beers in supermarket and went to the park close by Sebastian’s place to enjoy a beer or two. Other thing that Germans are often known is their practicality even in everyday life things and that was also proven… Have you any idea how to save water (and on water bills) at evenings? Put everyone to brush their teeth at the same time so the water won’t run for nothing, quite handy, eh?

One of the things what I was really missing while I was in Ireland was a real bread and by real bread I mean rye bread. In the morning I after waking up we had a breakfast, some tea and then self-made rye bread with multi-seeds. So good indeed, with no offence but beats up the French baguette easily ;-)

Frankfurt is somehow also called the financial capital of European Union, mostly because of IMF and ECB are located in there… so based on the number of cranes in seems like that there is still left some money left in EU. :D We also paid our part of put economy running by stopping in Dunkin’ Donuts and walk out of there with a six-pack (and I’m don’t talk about athletic six pack…) and enjoyed it on the top floor of shopping center looking down on shopping street where people were just running around with their umbrellas from shop to shop or business men rushing for lunch hour but we just chilled out. As everything ends on its time, I took direction to Frankfurt Main Hbf and continued my travel to the next place…

Ps. The German B&B means “Beer & Bread” ;-)
