Haven taken to writing self-memos on my phone and then emailing them to myself with the free wifi in starbucks.
Tuesday 24/8, 3.30pm, Frankfurt Botanicher Garten (Botanical Gardens).
Laying in the sun surrounded by beautiful greenery. There are laughing children, chatty adolescents riding old fashioned bikes, bronzed german guys sun bathing, singletons sitting on benches, and a guy practising tight rope walking with a peice of elastic strung between two trees. He's struggling with pivoting on the spot.
If people are this relaxed and loving of life in a primarily business city, I can only imagine what Berlin will be like :)
Wednesday 25/8, 7.20am, Frankfurt hostel, Kaiserstraßer (Kaiser Street).Met up with German Max ~ 4pm yesterday. Had a chat up in the hostel then went for a walk along the river Main. Made our way to an italian restaurant he loves called Va Piano on Geotheplatz (Geothe Place). Yum!
We then went for a drive on the motor way. Really hard to get used to being in the passenger seat on the side I'm used to driving on. Also kept freaking out when we'd turn a corner onto the other she of the road! Then came the free-speed section of the motorway. Fastest we went was 225km/hr, but that's because his car couldn't do more. Fantastic fun.
Walked heaps. Only prob is that I have at least 3 blisters on each foot >_< sehr (very)painful.
Wednesday 25/8, 2.18am, Frankfurt hostel, Kaiserstraßer (Kaiser Street).
Feet feel a bit better. Popped a blister this morning eurgh!
Just killing time today. Finished my novel, trying to find sunnies - mine broke on the FIRST day! Nein Sonnenbille :( But I'll keep looking!
To Michael's tonight with Max. Looking forward to it!
