Mercure Hotel And Residenz Frankfurt Messe

Again it seems to be an escape from the inevitable. But somehow I actually think it's way more than that.<br><br>Why do I think that? I'm sure you are wondering what special thing happened at the end of my last entry in the first world trip ...

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.

... it. You must pass through another security checkpoint to enter the Lufthansa gates. Then you wait in long lines which are not really lines all all because everyone politely presses forward until it is one giant herd of bodies. Only the determined persevere and move forward. The rest of us schmucks stay put in line as people move ahead until we get the hang of it and we learn to politely push forward. My passport was taken, entered into a ...

... 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 ...

... the right (or 6th one from the left, depending on how you want to picture it). The couple on my left were coming to Europe for a photography conference. The guy is a genious, and I'm not making that up. He invented the coolest thing ever. Remember those things from when you're little, the viewer that you would hold up to your eyes and then click the lever to switch from picture to picture? So, I guess Fujifilm now makes a 3D camera, that ...

... We spent the whole next morning with Sasha, but then he had to go to the airport...we were leaving Frankfurt the same night, on an overnight train to Prague.... I actually booked the hotel where we stayed based almost solely on its proximity to the train station...the train station was big, bright, busy, with lots of shops and restaurants, so I thought it wouldn't be a problem to wait there ...

... because his headache was so bad I thought I was even going to be sick just talking was hard for me (also i am SUCH an animated person that I NEED to make over exaggerated facial expressions so I just wanted to die) So we went home and I went to bed on a sat at quarter to nine! Sunday felt GREAT! And Jennifers dad took us to Weisbaden! This is a beautiful RICH city! He first took us to this Casino- the emperor (when there was one) LOVED Greek and Roman architecture so a lot of ...

... or Munich. I took some pictures but like I said, it looks like a city in the US... except for the redlight district :). Most of our drinking conversation consisted of my boss talking about how he love *****s. We went and got dinner then headed out to the red light district my boss had been talking about the entire time. My boss must of dragged me and Gary through 10 ***** house before he finally said "if you and Gary are just going ...

... t tell anyone! All's well now with our packs arriving this afternoon, after a VERY brisk walk around the city and the river (as our warm jackets were still making their way from Australia). Going for a city tour this arvo although I think we're both starting to feel the effects of the almost 24 hours of flying... Luv Ali and Brad x
