Last Stop: Frankfurt

I am now to my final days in Germany! My last stop will be in Frankfurt.  I now realize I went on this meandering little circle through South Germany, but I am pleased to have visited all of the places I did, and met so many new friends. Here is a quick reference photo that shows the distance from Mannheim to Darmstadt (my starting point) and my destination of Frankfurt.  I am super stoked to check out what is described as 'the most international city in Germany'.









In any case, after a night out in Mannheim, I hopped on a morning train to Frankfurt, eager to check out one final city.  

Immediately upon arriving in Frankfurt I hopped from one train - right onto another! I took a city tour on the Ebbelwei Express.  For about  14 I was able to get a nice tour of Frankfurt complete with a glass of their famous apple wine! I wish that all tours came complete with wine.  


The tour offered a fun and unique way to view everything from shopping districts to the zoo.  Although it was fun, the alcohol quickly reminded me of my empty tummy.  It was clear the my next priority had to be food.  

The neat thing about the Ebbelwei express is that you can hop off at any stop that interests you.  Though another passenger told me that the complete tour usually lasts about an hour, I left fifteen minutes early to go and get some food.

Luckily the odds were in my favor in finding The Best Worscht in Town!  It is basically a food truck, but it entirely fantastic in its very existence.  I was able to get sausage with my choice of topping, fries and MezzoMix to drink for just €10! And it was fast.  And it was simply delicious.  


Ok, I will stop fangirling over a food truck now.










Just kidding.  Here is another picture of my new favorite restaurant.













After stuffing my face for a considerable amount of time I took a stroll around the city to check out local street art - because that's my jam.  Frankfurt-based street artists seem to like to express themselves on a grand scale, often taking up the side of large buildings.





I am off to hit up one of the local nightclubs - Luna Bar.  It is supposedly the best place to get a cocktail in all of Germany and known for incredible dancing.  I'm on my final stretch here and it's time to let loose.

Bis morgen!
