Final Day in Frankfurt

We slept a bit better in our new room, though there were still people up at all hours being noisy and talking. Around 3a there were firecrackers being set off, not fun to wake up too.

Set the alarm for earlier so we'd miss the breakfast crowd, then showered in our own private bathroom and headed out to revisit sights from yesterday.

First stop, Der Fruchtgummi-Landen! Where everyone started their morning in a super happy way with gummy bears!


Then we headed to the Zeil mall and explored a few stores. I was looking for a better pair of walking shoes and unexpectedly got a ear piercing instead. Well not instead, just first. :)

Onward to a Footlocker! Kinda funny yesterday when we were near the Footlocker there was this guy dressed up like a tennis player and he came up to us and asked if we wanted some soup from the pot he was holding. Of course we were not gonna take any, but it was funny to find out that he was getting married and it is custom for the friends to embarrass the groom. Their choice obviously was tennis player being made to get people to take soup until the two pots were gone. Any-who, after we got me some shoes we revisited the old town in hopes of running into what we saw yesterday, a tram that was dedicated to drinking apple wine and site seeing. No luck but it was worth a try.

Now back to our regular programming. Today was exploring Sachenhausen district and eating at a famous apple wine restaurant, Adolf Wagner.
We had a nice time wandering around, resting in a park for the first time this trip, and tracking down multiple grocery stores. Grocery stores are something fun to us, they in themselves are a site, different foods, different products, and so much to try!

Sitting next the river and enjoying the view was unplanned, we can thank our full bladders and Europe's lack of public restrooms for that. We had to buy a drink (well anything really) so we could use the restroom at the closest place near us. It turned out nice, right near a beautiful pedestrian bridge and just across the river you could see some of the buildings from old town.

Then off to the restaurant for more traditional foods! It has been interesting to taste the different apple wines from place to place, this time we just got a pitcher, easier that way :)

So tonight we will relax and pack for our rail tomorrow to Prague!

Hopefully this is at least half as interesting as my Japan blog, I feel a bit off my game.
