This morning we left the campsite at Dreieich at around 9 and headed for Offenbach to return our beloved Gracie to McRent. We were both feeling a little sad to end this phase of our trip. That van was our home for over six weeks and we were very comfortable living in it. Michelle kept track of the kilometers daily and told me that I drove Gracie over 6,000 kilometers.
After saying goodbye to Gracie and the folks at McRent, a taxi took us to Pension Alpha where we will stay until Monday morning. We unpacked and then headed out to explore the local area. We are situated downtown and most of the "must sees" are
within walking distance. We walked along Kaiser Strasse, people watched, walked through a city park and stopped for coffee. We also explored the train station area and walked a bit further north to the red light district. Frankfurt is a very modern, cosmopolitan city with lots of skyscrapers and a multi ethnic population.The television in our room is the first we have seen in a long time. We also have free internet access which is also a first in a long time. I will be able to update the blog and send out a few emails.
Tomorrow we will do a self guided walking tour of Frankfurt
