Wheeling Miles Across The Main River, Frankfurt

SECOND DAY OUTING IN FRANKFURT... Just  Four stops away from the place we took the tram, this time we did a lot of walking and Aaron must have lost a lot of calories pushing me from one bridge to another.  There are certain parts that I need to do some hopping and not shopping.... But all in all, we did manage to cover the other side of Romer where the Main River is....

Weather was around ten to fifteen degrees, I wore three layers as usual and with a shawl to cover my legs... Only The one who control the wheelchair will sweat... Sorry about that, I guess I am getting heavier and lazier...nevertheless, we made it through the three days in Frankfurt with sweet memories to carry back with us....

Cruising along the river cost around  €8 but we didn't take it cos I need to hop some steps down...

Furthermore I think I will fall asleep, I normally do when I feel the breeze on my face....

Instead we cruised with our own legs and wheels...

At the Love Bridge....

But I did not lock any love there.... Only peace....

Wheeling across our first bridge....

Panoramic view....

Across the bridge....

The pathway to the ferry....

Another view from another bridge....

Standing tall holding on to his shoulder....

Oh... On the love bridge....

Taken from the streets... The Fall...

To the other side .....

Another part of the town.... Financial district...

Lutheran Epiphany Church....

And from there, we rolled into the market, bought some funny food anf had our late lunch at a Thai restaurant... It was almost 3pm and I ate a giant plate of fried rice! 

My tired and hungry look!!

Ratskeller, Teddy Bear Bubbles And Desserts at Romer, Frankfurt

WITH THE MEATY LUNCH IN OUR TUMMIES, we were all ready to continue our walk in Romer.... East and west, there are sightseeing to do... Since we are staying three nights in Frankfurt, we take it slow and steady....

The place where the tram stopped for us to get down...

In front of the Ratskeller building meaning bar or restaurants in German-speaking countries...

Positioned in front of some bars and restaurants where we had our lunch....

Nice weather to take pictures so expect more of me!! Hahhaaaa....

Most of the souvenir shops have teddies outside their shop...

The teddy blows bubbles....

See... Seeeee.... Bubbles!!

We felt like kids again... Hahahaa....

I think I know why this picture has this happy expression......

I saw ice cream!  Despite the cooling weather, I cannot resist at all.....

Aaron with his giant cone!

Lots to explore up here.... And it wouldn't be possible without her......

..... And Aaron........

Yes, we feel good to be here!!

Wheeling On Tram To Romer, Frankfurt

YAY!! WOKE UP FEELING ALL EXCITED AND ENERGIZED TO START OFF OUR SIGHTSEEEING!  Aaron as usual does his "homework" each night, where to go, what tram to take so on and so forth... He is our tour guide abd my personal wheel-pusher... 😃

At the tram station just few minutes away from our hotel.... Tram comes every few minutes..

We bought a group ticket, just €10 and we can go anywhere in a day.... 

Inside the tram... Disable friendly and most of the stops enables wheelchair bounds exits...

Aaron holds the map with him all the time to check the exits....

We went out of town and back again by tram... Made our money worth.. Hahaaaa....

Then we got down at Romer, a tourist spot....

Wedding bells was ... It was a joyous occasion....

And we saw them releasing the balloons....

And one flew in my direction to my surprise... One lady picked it up for me and insisted that I take it...

Tied it to my wheelchair as a rememberence....

A happening place here..... Saw groups of asian tourists too...

Live Music looming around the restaurants...

Checking out the places to take our lunch... We were very hungry by then...

And soon... The dishes were served....

Some German sausages with sour cabbage....

And their famous Pork Knuckle!!

Our second German meal..... Yummss!!

Love the sour cabbage...

Something like our malaysian salted vegetables!

Two plates for the three of us.... Yummylicious!!

Food cost around €25 plus... 

Not too bad, right!!

Affordable Stay At Pension Alpha Hotel In Frankfurt

WE STAYED IN A MODEST HOTEL CALLED PENSION ALPHA... It is just five minutes walk from the train station, very convenient for us to move about especially we have to take the tram to visit the city.   At first we didn't notice much of the name but after we checked in, we know why it is called Pension Alpha! 

Let me talk about the hotel, I highly recommend this cos it fits my disability in the room.  Most important is the toilet... There is a slab in the bathroom which I could sit on when I shower and the toilet is near to the sink, It is big enough to put a plastic chair near the sink to do my cleaning... Phew... I was so relieved for I was longing for a good shower!!  

As for the room, there are three beds near to each other... I like... We can have a good bonding before we call it a night....

We stayed three nights here... £50 for each of us which is quite reasonable....

Only setback is I have to hop down six steps to the lift each time we go out...

No complaints about that as long as I can hold on to someone's shoulder.... 😀

Since we stay near to the train station, we had our dinner there on the first night...

So many outlets and much to choose from...

But of course, we chose this... Our first Pork Knuckle in Germany... 

And my friend could not resist the belly as well.... 

With another plate of large potato fries and hot drinks, we were completely satisfied....

After dinner, we had a short stroll around the vicinity....

It was already dark around 6pm... Day is short....

How Hauptbahnhof looks by night.....

After a short stroll, we called it a night....

Wanted to be fully energised and recharged the next day to go downtown.....

As for the hotel, we guessed that it is manned by a few pensioners cos those on duty are all elderly men... Only one of them speak simple English...at first they seem unsmiling but after greeting them whenever we go in and out, they are much friendlier and generous with their smiles.... Well... Cute!!
