Wilkommen a Germany!

Guten tag everybody!

We have left our humble beginnings in London and have landed in the land of beer and the autobahn...GERMANY! After nearly missing our flight and literally running through Stansted airport to our gate, we have arrived in Frankfurt and wasted no time finding some delicious German fare!

Because of our crazy traveling, I had eaten nothing but a banana and handful (or four) of peanut M&Ms all day! So, we set out in search of some good ol' German food - meat, beer, cheese and strudel of course! We walked around a bit, realized our hotel, although right across the street from the train station, is also right in the middle of Frankfurt's red light district!

We finally found a cute restaurant right on the water in the middle of a boat! We first ordered a round of beers before settling on a meat (wurst, ham and salami) and cheese platter paired with good thick German bread and tomatoes to start with. Our waitress was absolutely marveled at the speed in which we wolfed it down! Then I decided to try bockwurst - which pretty much tastes like a Polish sausage but was oh so much better! With a little mustard, the bockwurst was perfection!

Of course, things would not be complete without some strudel so I took the lead and ordered a Apfelstrudel de Vanille - otherwise known as apple strudel with vanilla ice cream. It was quite possibly one of the best desserts this girl has had in awhile!

In Frankfurt, we also met up with Megan's sister Bridget and brother-in-law Noah so we have some new traveling partners for the next leg of our trip! Everyone is pretty tired so we're going to head to bed so we can get up early tomorrow and head off to Rothenburg - a small town right in the middle of Germany. As long as it has more meat and strudel, I am a-ok!
