The three of us were only in Frankfurt for a couple of nights and it is plenty enough of time to have a good look around the city. Egle, a good friend of ours is travelling with us for a trip over the Easter period and great to have her along with us. Frankfurt is realy just a financial city with not much to see as in the the old town and other things. We were very lucky though to have great host for us during our two nights and also got to visit a friend from Germany that I had meet in Adelaide a couple of years ago so it was good to see Carolin again. She is heading back to Australia hopefully next January and if any knows how to get a second working ... read more

Frankfurt is exactly what I like in my travels: a cool places with great people. After Berlin, Frankfurt and it's (-2) to 2 was nice, warm and welcoming.

I met some great people in Frankfurt. Alexander, ... read more

Well here it is! The day everyone loves or dreads - the day before the you go! Like Christmas Eve, it is always the longest day ever! Full of worry about what you have forgotten. I have already managed to forget my bra that you can change the strapes on to make them see though or halter. It may not seem a big thing but it is to me. Half my tops and dresses require me to wear that bra. Ugh. I swear I packed it. Stupid thing. So my packing is done - except my last few bits and bobs that I need tomorrow morning. Woo hoo, and it only took 7 days to do! Oh the pfaff (Owain you would be soooooo proud of me). I was given a stack of paper the other ... read more

One snowy Wednesday, Huggie Bug and Anita were sitting in a doctor’s room. WHEN, all of a sudden Huggie Bug’s shoe zip and Anita’s shoelace ran away! Oh dear! ‘How will we be able to take off our shoes!’ How will we get them back?’ They cried. They saw their zip and shoelace run out of the building and down someone’s chimney. Huggie Bug and Anita decided to run after them. Huggie Bug and Anita chased the zip and the shoelace to the house and knocked on the door. ‘Hello?’ The lady said, ‘can I help you?’ ‘Yes,’ said Anita ‘has a zip and a shoelace come down your chimney?’ ‘Oh yes. Would you like to get them?’ ‘Yes please, thank you.’ Huggie Bug and Anita ran inside and started to climb up the chimney. There ... read more
