飛機上 停雨   早餐終於可以隨便吃一點,不用像餵牛般,更不用「偷運」午餐。   出門前看見有雨,在街上走不了多少步便已濕透,雨比之前要大。S8駛上地面時,更見到在德國多天從未見過的大雨,與香港那種相差無幾,也不知應否說句好運。坐窗口位的男子以為窗口不能緊貼,被迫任雨水從幼縫中濺進來,沾濕了他的西褲,也濺在我的臉上。我隨即想起初到埗乘S8,發現窗口可以打開的通爽感覺。 1350   未有想過能在旅程中讀畢《檔案羅密歐》,今次讀的氣氛沒有上一次那麼緊張與震撼,但仍從新的視點看到新的東西(要列明則有點困難,總之感覺不同就是了)。相信再看一次仍能找到新鮮感。 ... read more

0620 Frankfurt外約30km   在進入雲層前拍了一張照片,現在見到地面了。 1035 Zeil   終於在Carl-Benz Straße「痛下決心」用€1買了一大塊芝士條的東西,成為在德國的首宗交易。   再往北走了有地鐵入口的廣場,白鴿朝我走來。麵包的確很「痛」,牙也幾乎扯掉。 1040 Zeil   兩隻白鴿搶食,小麻雀也想佔一分;一輛單車駛來,一拍三散。 2023   1700出門前3號床的Marcus進來,他的英文半桶水,我的英文也半桶水,簡單地談了一些(他的家鄉近Rostock,樣貌有點像Ballack,哈哈),之後我到車站核對明天班次,吃了Burger King名副其實的King Burger。我怕暗瘡,但更怕餓。一個€4.69的2號餐! 2057   明天這個時間有空的話,應到河邊坐坐看看書。   今天的出醜處有:剛到步便「勇救」只顧談電話而衝出馬路的少女,之前在機場海關面前竟然遞上行李收據,乘U-Bahn下車時不知道要按掣才能開門,還有那無論是否德國人也聽不明的英文(會想起小時在加拿大),最可怕的是,我也不肯定有Railpass是否等於可以免費乘搭U-Bahn。但我已經「喪搭」了。感覺又像南京,每天在一個細小的核心不斷在旁摸索,不同的是我用了半天便「摸」完Frankfurt了。 ... read more

My first day in Europe!!!! We landed in Frankfurt(longest and worst plane ride ever), and then drove to a small town about an hour away(Bensheim). We were staying at a monastery with a bunch of friars that didn't speak English. Lex and I decided to go exploring because it was some sort of holiday there. Some of the streets were shut down and there was music and large hot beer to drink. It was the perfect beginning to our trip. ... read more

Our flight to Cape Town from Phoenix had a 12 hour layover in Frankfurt - pretty much from 9am to 9pm so we went out on the Metro to take a look at the city. We didn't find too much to interest our jet-lagged brains, the museum was closed and that was probably a blessing unless they had very comfy furniture. We walked across the river and sat down in a church for a while until some Germans (in Frankfurt - imagine that) told us that the church was closed and the front door was only open to let the builders in. We dragged ourselves out and back across the river where we found a nice cafe for some lunch. Pretty tired we headed back to the airport and slept for a while. The nice people ... read more

I have been to Germany several time and found some of the most interesting places to visit. The people there, for the most part, are very nice. As long as you try to speak the language, you will do fine and the locals don't mind if you make a mistake in your attempts. As long as you try! Some of my greatest memories of my travels have been in Germany. Germany, like many European countries, is a cross between the old country and the new all rolled into one. Something that most people don't know when traveling to Germany, is that in the southern part of the country they speak a different dialect then from the middle and north or even east and west for that matter. But again as long as you try, you’ll do ... read more
