Well, no trains…yet. We landed in Frankfurt with a minimum of fuss – although neither of us slept much on the plane. Nevertheless, we managed to find the rental car and make our way into the city. Happily, our hotel had a snug little parking garage (for a fee, of course) and we were content to leave the car behind.

A short while later, we found ourselves on Fressgrass, a street full of stores and restaurants. On one end is the spectacular Frankfurt Opera House, on the other is the Romerplatz, which is the center of the old town. Much of this area was destroyed during WWII, but has since been rebuilt according to the original designs.

To finish off the day in Frankfurt, we hopped on a boat for a relaxing ride along the river Main. This is a town for business and has the skyline to match.
