in Frankfurt

Just a brief stopover in Frankfurt to visit rellies. Spent a day and evening walking around with some help from trains and trams. We had a great time at the beach (ie next to the river Main), also testing the local cider!!

In the old part of the town in the cobbled square is a large brass plate in memory of authors whose books the Nazi burned in the town with the message : "they started off burning books and ended up burning people".

Frankfurt seeems to encourage bikes and roller blades. Apparently on Tuesday nights some streets are kept clear for hundreds of roller bladers!!
