We woke early to enjoy the hotel breakfast, that had a huge selection, as along with the usual American, Asian and Continental breakfast options, they had salmon and a big selection of hams and cheeses.
We walked down to the other side of the river, the Museumsufer, so named because of the large concentration of museums there. On Saturday it is also the location of Frankfurt’s biggest market. It turned out to be a flea market, with a whole bunch of other people’s crap for sale. We left there pretty soon after we arrived and went to the Three Kings Church, which is a magnificent old church. This is not something we would usually do, but it was close by and Frankfurt was fast running out of things to do. We can see why it was suggested to us that we spend no more than a couple of days here.
We went for a walk down the main street in downtown area, and then caught a train (yes we managed to decipher how to do it, although still not sure we were doing it right) to the Museum of Natural History. Given that this was almost entirely in German (have these people heard of tourism?) we didn’t understand a lot of it, but we did obtain some headphones that you could listen to spiels about the more important exhibits. It was actually very good, as it has the largest exhibition of large dinosaurs in Europe and the largest collection of birds in the world.
After dinner we went to a bar called Rough Diamond, which was a completely different concept nightclub to anything we have seen back home. We considered going also going to the Cocoon Club, which is regarded as one of the best nightclubs in the world (some say the best trance nightclub in the world), but it was late and we would have had to catch a train to get there.
