October 21 - Frankfurt

Today is our penultimate day of this fabulous vacation. We will be flying home from Frankfurt tomorrow afternoon. Like all vacations, it is a two-sided coin. We’re sad to see it end, but happy to be on our way home after three weeks away.

We took the train from Berlin to Frankfurt. I don’t know how we scored it, but we got a private compartment, so we had plenty of leg room and space for our luggage.

The trip took about four hours, and we got to see lots of diverse scenery. We went through large industrial cities, such as Hanover, and many smaller hamlets. The countryside consisted of rolling hills with lush green pastures. The fall colours of the trees added to beauty of the countryside, although there was a lack of the red leaves that you would see in Canada.



In Frankfurt, we stayed at the Anor Hotel & Conference Center. It was a nice hotel with spacious rooms. I don’t think that any large conferences will be held here though, because it is rather small. It is supposed to be an airport hotel, but it is right in the middle of an industrial park, and the hotel is about a twenty minute Uber drive away from the airport.

This evening, the desk clerk pointed us to a nice casual restaurant called the Motion Café, where we had our last German styled meal. It seemed like it might be a local meeting spot where people went to meet friends and have a beer. It was a wonderful way to end the trip.
