After my visit to Wiesbaden, I got off the train at the city of Mainz. Not expecting to see much, I soon found out that the place was quite spectacular. It had its very own castle which looked very impressive. The city is also right on the River Rhine, which I've now crossed.

It was really beautiful standing on the bridge over the river and looking at the city, which is full of churches and other impressive buildings on the opposite bank. I got across the river and went into this nice old church, it had wonderful stained glass windows and painted frescoes on the ceiling, the frescoes were really old looking, something you don't usually see in this neck of the woods. I also visited the ruined church of Saint Christopher, my patron saint, he is associated with travelers. I hung around in Mainz for a while, and walked back over the Rhine and saw the little church the city is supposedly famous for.

I then got back on the U-Bahn and went back to Frankfurt to pack for Morocco!
