Railing thru Europe: Stop 12.2 Germany – Frankfurt
Another overnight train journey takes us to Frankfurt in the wee hours of the morning. Although the hostel which we booked says reception is 24 hours, when we arrived we were faced with a snoring receptionist. It was a funny sight as other backpackers who had just woken up were busy getting their breakfast while the rhythm of the snoring accompanied them. As hilarious as it was, we had to rouse the receptionist from dreamland so we could leave our baggage with him and make our day trip to Mainz (for the river cruise along the Rhine river towards Koblenz which might I add, will be featured on our next post).
Back from the Rhine, we had a little walk around the main tourist area of the city of Frankfurt before returning to the hostel and calling it a day.
