After an awesome breakfast at the Meininger we caught the train into the city and did the usual open top bus tour before going to the Hauptbahnhof to catch the train to Berlin. Unbeknownst to us, because we had booked first class tickets (I had forgotten) we could have had free food and alcohol in the DBahn lounge before leaving. Unfortunately we had already eaten and bought a drink, but still managed to squeeze in another Sauvignon Blanc or two.
That morning also I had made Facebook contact with my friend Diana from New Zealand, after seeing that she was also in Frankfurt. Small world! We couldn't meet up because we were leaving, but instead made arrangements to meet in London, as not only would we be in the same city again, but actually in the same suburb!
The train to Berlin, despite having first class, was disappointing in that we travelled for 8 hours with no food, drink or air con. We shared a stuffy carriage with a science-type fellow who we chatted to for the last hour or so, which made the time go a little quicker.
Our hotel, Amano Grand Central, was across the road from the station, and we took advantage of the last hour of the night club bar before going to bed in our nice cool room.
