We boarded our coach at 7am on Thursday morning 22nd June, ready for the journey to our hotel in St Wendel, Saarland.
We had a breakfast stop at 9am in a woodland picnic area near Würzberg. I must admit to not having a clue where we were, having left my map of the journey at home in Timmerlah!
Our afternoon treat was a guided tour of Frankfurt am Main Airport in a hot coach at 33c. Not my idea of fun, but the tour was very interesting. Our guide seemed extremely pleased about GB´s Brexit decision, which meant more opportunities for the financial sector in Frankfurt. He agreed with me, that the UK had shot itself in the foot. Hi di ho!
I had forgotten to bring a copy of my passport with me, and thought that I might have problems going on the guided tour. We had to go through an airline check of handbags and a body search before the visit, but I got my ticket and all clear without a mention of checking my identity. Unlike in GB, every German citizen has an identity card, which must be carried at all times. I normally have my passport copy with me in my bus and train ticket wallet, but as I didn´t need my ticket, I left the copy at home. I won´t do that again, as for four days I was wondering around Germany without any identity papers, with only my friends knowing who I was!
The temperature outside was 33c, but inside was air conditioned, so a little more comfortable. Here the coach is passing the Lufthansa terminal. Frankfurt is the busiest hub airport in Europe, and the second biggest after London Heathrow in Europe.
