Day 29 - Frankfurt

You may be wondering why we have come to Frankfurt as its not exactly a tourist destination, but all will be revealed tomorrow. As we ourselves didn't know much about Frankfurt, we found out it was the culture capital of Germany and is also known as the “Little Apple” after New York, so there must be something to see here. We arrived in the city centre to lots of noise so went to investigate. It was coming from the Thai cultural festival and had food, music and of course beer which you can drink in the street. There is a picture below of the only guy dancing on the stage, it was so funny we had to take a picture.



We hung around the stage having a couple of beers before seeing what else was in the city. Although much of the city is made up of high rise offices, there are a few lovely buildings including the cathedral, many churches and the Romer area which is made up of old wood fronted bars and restaurants. While there we had our first experience of the beer bike. This is exactly what the name says, a 4-wheeled bike made up of numerous seats around the edges and a bar in the centre serving beer. Very popular with stag parties, these bikes drive around the city centre powered by the drunken folk peddling on there seats whilst drinking.

We then made our way down to the riverside where we had a relaxing stroll before calling it a night when the temperature dropped to what felt cold, although probably still warmer than home, lol.
