We’re here! Or there or somewhere depending on your frame of reference, in Deidesheim, Germany.
We stopped for dinner at the airport in Frankfurt. We ordered ‘meatloaf’ because it was something on the menu we recognized. What they call meatloaf is pressed and sliced Spam. Large, thick sliced of Spam. Ewww.
Two planes, three trains and a one kilometer walk ended with us in front of our ‘hotel’ at 10pm. It turns out that at 10pm there isn’t a manager on site. There also isn’t a manager listed on the call buttons outside the building. After 90 minutes in the chilly night air, we finally gave up contacting anyone and went searching for an open hotel.
This is a small town. 2500 people. Without google maps we would have been out of luck. I love international phone networks and smartphones.
We stayed at a nice place down the road. Showers were had, feet were relieved, sleep was taken. All-in-all it was good, except the part about doing this at midnight while hauling bags on foot.
Sunday has been nice. We’ve gotten checked in at our regular hotel, seen parts of the city, generally recovered from jetlag and late arrival.
The Catholic church in town was built in 1494. Nice.
