Frankfurt, Day One: Getting In

Given that a couple of relatives had moved to Germany recently we felt it was our duty (you know, as existing and veteran European citizens) to see them and let them know that "we're there". However in what is a great real life example of scope creep, our cheap and quick same-day £35 return to Frankfurt grew to a three night jaunt, which in hindsight was a little long for a city break really. Due to us flying into Hahn (remember: £35 return), we needed to hire a car to get into Frankfurt proper. This in turn changed the nature of the trip as a whole... but more on that later.

Our first day was orientation: checking in, finding the boys, doing an Aldi shop. There wasn't really much time for any sightseeing after that so we grabbed dinner in town at an Afghan place which was pretty wonderful given how generic it was. Chai was then had at "Taste of Pakistan" which made me chuckle a little.

First impressions of Frankfurt though: a bit boring but in a way that seemed positive for these guys.
