Advena Europa Hotel Mainz

... Well here's the story:<br> <br>After having met a bunch of design students "by chance" (still don't believe in chance though ;) at a party,<br><br> [to be continued]<br><br> I reckon this trip will help me to make some awesome pictures.<br>

It was sooooo cold in Frankfurt, we didn't want to spend much time here since we had no winter clothing. WE got in late, went to our hotel, then back to the airport to get our flight to Bangkok moved up. We though it would be at 8 that night, but they managed to get us on the next flight out, which was pretty much within the hour. Woohooo! I also kept speaking Italian in Germany... so confused with all the languages.

... at my back. As I turned the corner away from the stares and took a deep breath, I suddenly recalled where my wallet was hiding. I sheepishly got back into the same line and the cashier felt sorry for me and once again was kind. He even offered for me to join their shopping club - I politely declined. Once in that store was enough, thank you very much. <br><br>Finding Terminal B Gate 62 was also not exactly easy - but I did finally ...

... their walls, not to mention some German candies.<br><br>Unfortunately it was time to call it a trip, so we all piled in the car and Flo kindly drove us home on the ultra-efficient Autobahn where nobody drives slowly in the left lane.<br><br>Auf wiedersehen! It was a great trip!<br><br>Pam and Glenn said: <br><br>Pam&#8217;s first observation of her old high school alma mater town of Frankfurt was that it had not changed much. From the Bahnhoff down ...

Manze is the last place on the Rhine we go to, here we left the ferry; an overnight stay will see is tomorrow on the train travelling to Frankfurt for a quick look and then on to Wurzburg. I thoroughtly recommend a Rhine trip to anyone, particularly doing your own thing the way we have just done. Stopping at villages along the way, you really get to see it in depth. All the towns have tourist maps you ...

... blow them up if soilders got to close to the walls. Explored the turrets and battlements, and the inside areas as well. The dungeon was freaky. Imagine being droped 20 feet down onto some beams in a dark circulur celler with a bunch of other guzs, and then sitting on those beams 6 feet above slop and other horrids, that seeped in from the moat and the castles waste. Yeah, not fun. But other parts of the castle were sooo fun ...

... husband - lol! We stopped at the Karneval (Vastnacht) fountain to take some photos, because this upcoming week is Germany's upcoming Karneval. It is a big time for them to celebrate the upcoming Christian event, Lent, very similar to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. After lunch we went to the Gutenberg Museum. Johannes Gutenberg is world-renowned for the movable type press printing. The museum is quite impressive with original presses and ...

Mainz is a city located close to Frankfurt with some 200 000 inhabitants. The historical city centre was destroyed up to 80% during the air bombings in the second world war, but is quite nicely restored. A rainy day in Mainz. Bärbel went to Mainz on business and we went along. We wanted to see the Mainz Cathedral before going back home. It is over 1 000 years old and built in romanesque style. Well, because it was raining, we didn't feel like ...
