Schnitzel in Frankfurt

29/9/18
We left Amsterdam on a train to Frankfurt. It was an ICE brand train and it lasted four hours (good thing we were in 1st class). We arrived in the sleazy end of town near the railway station at the Mercure Hotel. We went for a bit of a stroll before coming back to our apartment. Then I picked out a traditional German restaurant called Apfelwein Klaus. It's in the basement of a building in a backstreet. They claim to have been serving for at least 100 years.

We went down to the main station and got tickets for the on/off tour bus around Frankfurt. We rode until we got to the botanic gardens. We saw many different types of flora (and even a little bit of fauna, including a noisy bird we heard in the palm section). We also saw a couple squirrels bouncing around. Then we stopped for coffee and cheesecake. It was very delectable. 

We got back on the tour bus and went to the Old Town. It's a much more attractive part of Frankfurt. It was so crowded that we finally figured out where everyone goes on a Sunday in Frankfurt. We came home and looked for a place to have dinner which was very hard considering most restaurants in Frankfurt close on a Sunday. We eventually found a unique place called Vapiano. You're given one card each and you go up to different parts of the restaurant to order pizza, pasta, antipasti, salads, etc.

    2. The Indonesian restaurant was fantastic.
      We weren't in the Red Light District.
      I had a taste of one of Dad's beers but I didn't like it. I prefer fruity beers.
