Frankfurt am Main
Today Kirra and I caught the train into Frankfurt for some retail therapy and for a 'suprise'!! Let me just say WOW, the shopping in Frankfurt= HEAVEN haha. Its cheap, its pretty and its good quality. Kirra and i rode the longest escalator in Europe and we watched as people qued up for half hour to get into the american 'Hollister shop'. Who knew that the Germans love America. After spending some money it was time for my suprise!! I wasnt really paying attention and before i knew it i could see australian flags everywhere... yep. kirra took me to the AUSTRALIAN BAR :) it was the best cure for homesickness. i drank a fosters beer and had the Mels platter- Mad max inspired.
The menu was hilarious with its australian inspired dishes and sayings. things that no one would honestly say.
After lunch we took a walk to the Old city centre, we posed for photos and then went on to the old church and roman ruins. It was nice to take in a bit of german history after an aussie lunch and globalised shopping. We then trekked over to the Main, where my foot got caught and i tripped and freaked out a couple kissing near by haha.
Then on the old bridge we were approached by a good looking man who asked us out on a date... not speaking german i was caught like a deer in headlight haha. the things people do.
Last but not least we took a leisurley stroll to the old Opera house and then caught the train home to feast on the huge BBQ kirras host family had prepared for us.
LIFE IS BLISS :)
