Day: 2
Guten Tag!
The first leg of our travel to Africa is nearly complete. We arrived in Frankfurt yesterday morning at 11:00am local time. After several laps around the airport we found the baggage storage and the train station. We hopped on a standing room only bombardier (200km/hr train!) and made our way to Heidelberg via Mannheim. By the time we settled in to our room at the Kranich Hotel we were ready to go to bed, unfortunatly it was only 2:00pm (6:00am MDT). After a short nap we walked into the town and had a delicious meal of schnitzel and spetzel – of course with a hearty German beer!
Today we checked out the 250yr old Schloss castle along with the Apotheke museum. With all the walking we’ve done, we’re all tuckered out for our flights to Dubai and then Jo-burg.
Stay tuned for more later!
