So we did not end up in Frankfurt as I had thought, but actually an adorable town half hour away, called Mainz!





Had such a blast, which is more likely to happen on vacations when you are staying with a local (well, not "local" but American who invaded four years ago). We were only there for 40 hours but somehow managed to:

1. Drink apple schnapps
2. Eat schitznel (or in my case, pretzels with soft cheese)
3. Drink pilsner
4. Drink pilsner out of a five litre tube
5. Eat lunch outside at an adorable cafe on a twisty little European street in the sun
6. Go shopping and buy these awesome/silly boots that make me laugh every time I put them on

and most importantly....

7. Go to the naked spa!

Seventeen Euro for four hours of what was basically public nakedness. At least it was a women only day, but there were some maintenance men about! My friend and I waited around a while for them to leave, and then said, "F it," and dropped our towels. It was a bit strange at first, but by the end I'd never really been more relaxed..... I guess it was kind of like a bath house, with a bunch of different temperature pools, steam rooms and saunas and you go back and forth as you please. By far the highlight of the trip!
