So here's our drama. The place we are staying is right in the heart of the city. Unfortunately it is in a very sketchy street. We have peep shows, strip clubs and brothels all around the hotel. There are scummy looking groups and lots of dodgy men hanging about in the streets. Last night we watched a fight between 4 people out our window. We have implemented an "in before dark" policy so we don't have to deal with them. During the day no probs but we won't be ven...

Yet another relaxing day today and I must admit we feel good for it. Jac was awake early but made sure I was awake when she rang the family at 12pm. Mind you I probably needed to be up by then. We spent the next few hours relaxing in the hotel before wandering into the city centre. Frankfurt doesn't have much of a vibe to it. Nothing like Berlin anyway. In fact the way the city looks reminds us a bit of Melbourne. It was packed with everyone out ...

We slept until about 2pm today. We both really needed it. We have been pretty tired over the last couple of weeks so it was nice not to do anything. We spent the afternoon reading, watching tv and playing on the intraweb. There is a supermarket across the road so we grabbed some supplies for the next few days. We will get out and see some of Frankfurt tomorrow but the plan is not to spend much money this week. At least it is warmer than Berlin. Ev...

Because our flight was late in the day we headed to the East Side Gallery. This is the longest section of the Berlin wall and the government gets artists to express themselves about every ten years. The wall is about 1.5 km's long and it was interesting seeing peoples ideas of what the wall means to them. We spent a few hours wandering down the length. We wanted to see the Holocaust Museum as well so jumped back on a train. It wasn't far but the ...

We always have a lot of down time whenever we book travel or do washing. Because of the late night last night we only got up about 10am. We needed to get the last part of the trip squared away so I confronted that while Jac cleaned clothes. Unfortunately the dryer was playing up so it took about 3 hours. That really stuffed the day. We went to go to the east side gallery but it was freezing so headed to Potsdamer Plaza instead. We had a last wande...
