Germany

Tuesday, 3 December, 2013

Time to meet old friends. Frankfurt is as attractive as I remember  and   we enjoy walking, talking and having dinner  at the Michele restaurant. For Jennifer Germany means train travel,friends and parties, for me mainly reconnecting with friends. I feel that perhaps this is the best part of the trip.
I am looking forward though to my Hamburg stay; I was here many years before and for now I planned a 'walk around town'.  This is not to be though; it is very cold and  windy, the water levels are so high  that the port, a main Hamburg attraction is closed to visitors.  So I resign myself to visit the town in a two deckers bus and  walk through the shops, with good shopping results.
 I am grateful  though for the mild weather on our last day in Friedberg, when I can take Jennifer for a walk  to the old tower and ramparts. Typical 'old little town in Germany.
