Frankfurt is probably one of the most boring cities I have ever been to. It is the financial capital of Germany, and it did not help that we went on a Sunday because (it would appear that) most people leave the city on weekends. The hotel I booked online ended up being in the Red Light District, one of the main streets near the main train station that was littered with strip clubs, sex shops, peep shows, etc. That could explain why it was so cheap. The final day of our stay in Frankfurt we did manage to find a more tourist-friendly area with lots of holiday shops and vendors, some old architecture, street performers, etc. ... read more

My last visit to Germany was a lot of fun, but ridiculously short as I only went there for 22hours, so as soon as I got back to London I booked another flight for the 1st weekend available, which happened to be Maggie's bday...perfect timing! Anyways...went there last Thursday and was gonna hang out in Frankfut for a bit before going to good old Alsbach to meet the girls and go to the pub, but my flight was completely delayed!! It wasn't very nice to hear the lady saying our flight was gonna be at least 2 hours delayed because of a problem with the plane...ended up it was 3:15hr delayed, so I didn't get into the centre of Frankfurt til 7 or something... so I took myself to dinner at the aussie bar (I ... read more

Today we got up early, ate breakfast, finalized our packing, and set out for Frankfurt. At 9:00 we called a taxi to take us to the bus station. We weren’t expecting the taxi to show up so soon. (I guess they don’t get much business at 9:00 a.m. on Saturdays.) The taxi driver got us and our luggage to the bus stop by 9:05 which meant we had a long, cold wait until the bus arrived at 9:59. The two-day Christmas market in Baumholder meant that main street and the regular bus stop were closed to traffic, so we were at a bus stop with no benches and no protection from the elements. It rained a little, but not much. It was, however, very cold. We got on the bus and took a 35-minute ride to ... read more

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Feiergemeinde, herzlich willkommen... zu unserem Blog ... welches wir innerhalb der nächsten Monate mit kleinen Geschichtchen und vielen Bildern füllen werden. Die Vorbereitungen sind beendet, wir liegen gerade im Bett und genießen den westlichen Luxus von Kaffee und Brötchen mit NUTELLA !!!! Vielen Dank für die coole Party. Es war ohne Frage eine geile Feiergemeinde am Start. Jedenfalls sagte das der Getränkelieferant, nachdem er uns noch zweimal mit flüssigem Gold belieferte. Resultat: 360 Flaschen Bier plus diverses, super tolerante Nachbarn - gegen sechs Uhr verließen auch die letzten Techno-Jünger das sinkende Schiff. Aus sicherer Quelle wissen wir, dass selbst die ICE Fahrgäste der DB von Roberts Lichtanlage profitieren konnten. Chong hat seinen Beitrag geleistet (Rock'n'Roll is still alive) ... ;-)und - wer... read more

Geo: 50.0442, 8.40606I decided that I needed a few days break from working, so I booked a cheap flight to Frankfurt, to see more of Germany. Somehow I made the 7.20am flight out of Stansted, the journey started at 4am with me standing at the bus stop at the end of my street. I flew with Ryanair and was landing at Frankfurt-Hahn airport- which I discovered after booking my flight is no where near Frankfurt, but in Hahn- only an hour and forty-five minute bus ride away from Frankfurt!! Oh well, was a chance for me to catch up on sleep. Once I arrived in Frankfurt I went to the hostel, which was located in a nice part of the city, across the road from the train station and in the red light/drug district!! After leaving ... read more
