Arriving in Frankfurt

---

Arrived in Frankfurt at around 5.30 in the morning and made it to our hotel at around 7am. Decided to stay awake all day so we could minimise jetlag and so launched straight into breakfast at the hotel.

Spent the day walking around Frankfurt and found the christmas markets which seem to be set up in all the major towns and cities in Europe. Had our first taste of Gluwein (hot mulled wine) and will probably be our last as I think it is an acquired taste!

Connor is going quite well with his German speaking. Very proud to see him talking in the local lingo although almost everyone here seems to have a good grasp of English so it's not really a problem.

Sussed out train station which is huge and booked tomorrows train transfers to Rothenburg online. Boys were very impressed with trains especially the ICE train which are the fast ones in Germany.

Had an early dinner at the local irish pub and were in bed asleep by around 8pm. Given we are ariund 9 hours behind home that was really 5am Brissy time so we did really well.
