From some tired Frankfurters

We had our night out on the town for the final tour dinner - hence Natalie and Ros who are joined by Natalie's room mate for the tour - Ria, who comes from Capetown. We had a good night and Rosslyn and Natalie rose early to have breakfast before Natalie joined all the others who were being transferred to the airport for her later flight up to Hamburg. We however after breakfast made our way by lift from the hotel directly down undernmeath to the subway and 4 stops later were in at the Central r.s. and we took the 3 hr ICE train to Frnakfurt. In fact it was quite a warm day, so by the time we arrived, it was coats and jumpers off and into short sleeves. We did our own orientation tour of the city - tall skyscrapers on the banks of the River Main. We walked and walked, saw the writer Goethe's home, visited the Cathderal (as one tends to do) and what would John Pritchard do if he got his hands on this organ!. Did'n't hear it but it looks impressive. Having satisifed ourselves that we had seen all that we wanted to see and could see in the time available, we had an early night for another train trip to Dresden.
