Frankfurt

I love Frankfurt! Maybe just because of company that i had there (do you remember my friend Alejandro?), but i love this city. It is beautiful, spacious, bright and it has a lot of churches (which i don't like a lot cause they rings every hour and it makes you crazy) and gardens. And also weather was amazing (+10 and sun). But i came there not at the best time - almost everything is closed there at winter, but it doesn't matter because i had an amazing time.
winter? really?
To go to Frankfurt from hamburg i decided to take a train. Do you remember that transport is very expensive here? Good, because trains are not an exception. But at least my train there was comfortable and quite fast. There are two types of trains IC and ICE. IC makes more stops, is not so fast and not so expensive (i took that one). ICE is much more faster, it stops only at the biggest cities but the price is higher. What i really liked in train is view from the window - even at winter Germany is very beautiful.
When i arrived to Frankfurt it was 7 at evening already, but because weather was good and my friend wanted to show me everything we went for a little excursion around the city (at night it look gorgeous, especially embankment). Than we went to some traditional German bar where got drunk)))
trees!!!
The next day we walked around city a lot and i saw all Frankfurt's landmarks. All the main streets there are only for people, but interesting that at the middle of this streets they have very unusual trees (they look like they are from the other planet). Also i saw a place where electronic parties started - at winter it is just a park)) Than we went to another bar (Salalitos) that looked like Papa's Place at Moscow (i miss this place))).
ICE train
The nest morning we had to go to the Heidelberg, but suddenly my friend got a call that door at his apartment at London was  hacked, of course he had to go to London. So we just bought a ticket for me to Hamburg and i left at 12 at morning.
Now i'm at Hamburg again without any idea what else i can do here =)
