Never mistake motion for action (hemingway)

Another night train (they just get better and better) and half a day of traveling and we’re back in Germany. First stop – Frankfurt.

Two nights in Frankfurt allowed us an evening to explore the city, and see the major squares and monuments. The next day we took a train and bus and walk out to the Baha’i House of Worship (there’s one per continent so this was not to be missed and is now the third I’ve visited)
Once we got back to the city we visited the Museum of Modern Art and the OTHER ART MUSEUM. Both fantastic and not to be missed.

Nest was Hamburg – although, I’ll admit now - I didn’t really see it. Chandra’s sister Penny lives in Othmarschen outside of the suburb of Altona outside of Hamburg. So we headed straight there, and although the intention was to kick back for the weekend as well as going back in to see the city, it didn’t happen. I had a cold and spent the first few days recovering and getting caught up on some much needed sleep. I did however find the time to explore Altona and Othmarschen. Mostly though I listened to my audio book of Harry Potter and discovered the wonders of television – specifically Veronica Mars and Doctor Who which they had the complete seasons of. (How had I lived without seeing these previously? In blissful ignorance). We also celebrate Luke’s’ first birthday on the Sunday afternoon and I got my own birthday cake as well.
Monday we made a day trip from Penny’ and David’s to see Berlin. I walked the entire city, seeing the various monuments, churches, squares, plazas, and museums. I also went to the museum at the site of the original Gestapo headquarters. I met up with Chandra later in the afternoon, explored a little of the other side of the river where the TV tower and an older quarter are and then caught the train back to Hamburg.

The next morning we headed off for Copenhagen… But Munich is yet to come. (Hopefully!)
