Upon arrival in Frankfurt at 8:30am on Day 2, we cleared immigration and found our shuttle bus to Heidelberg where we dropped off one duffle bag with our motorcycle gear. We had about 5 hours to wait for our shuttle pick up, so we took the light rail downtown to look for an air mattress for our upcoming motorcycle trip. After a nice salad for lunch we located a mattress for about $42, caught the light rail back to Kirscheim where we toured the local Lidl store and I took a short nap while Angela went shopping at another Lidl.
At about 16:50 we were picked up by the shuttle and whisked back to the Frankfurt airport where we caught another shuttle to Motel One where we would be spending the night. After checking in, we went in search of the Indian restaurant we had spotted on our previous visit a couple years ago. It's located in the middle of a huge garden area that people grow flowers and vegetables in their own plots and is in the middle of a developed portion of the city. We had another nice salad and soup dinner.
Walking back to the hotel we spotted 2 bunny foo foos which were larger than what we see at home. Back at our room we checked email and prepared to try to get a good night's rest as we had been up for some 36 hours with only some catnaps. I hadn't yet made reservations for the flight to Rome, so that task was still ahead of me. We ended up having one of our cellphone chargers short out and blow the circuit for the room which necessitated a trip down to the front desk to get it reset. The cheap Chinese charger was fried!
Stay tuned for more.
