Walker's Travels in Scandinavia 2017 and others
We (8 of us) are now all in Frankfurt with our bikes and luggage. The missing 3 pieces were delivered to our motel at 10pm last night. This morning was spent having brekkie, chatting, putting bikes back together (the Motel gave us a conference room to do that) and sorting out local sims for our phones. We found Wendy's iPhone invaluable last year for navigation so we got both changed over this year. T-Mobile seems to have the best deal in Germany. I'm now sure that two of us can get everyone lost better than one,.. surly not!! Had a good wander down to the city mall and back (7+km) just to get the legs working properly again after more than 30 hours in airports and planes. Wendy had to get a battery change on her iPhone 5 as it was dumping power dramatically. 75euros and an hour or so later it was fixed thanks to the Apple Store, Frankfurt. By 2pm the jet-lag was telling us to sleep so an afternoon nap couldn't be avoided. At 4pm we all met up for a shake-out ride but Gunther had some rear dérailleur malfunction on his bike so we ended up with 6 of us cruising along the Main River in bright sunshine. As in most of Western Europe bicycles rule, ok, so you can ride anywhere nearly. It was certainly great to be back on the bike in a city that caters so well for cyclists. Dinner was Stew & Al's pick and they chose Chicago Meatpackers Restaurant right beside the river. Great food, Greg had salmon while Wendy had the beef, both came with salad and sweet potato chips. Chicago Red beer was nice too.
