Starting our long day here at the Frankfurt Main Station. Going to take a train to Augsburg (transfer at Nurnberg), then tour around Augsburg for a day. Then took a overnight train to Venezia Mestre. Hope the logistics will go well ~
Unexpected detour! Our stop was canceled in Augsburg Hbf while we were on the train. It didn’t help much when all the announcement were in German. Luckily, a nice gentleman had helped us out (very thankful!) anyway, we were detoured to Munchen. With any luck, we will be arriving at 2pm in Augsburg Hbf and could do some touring during day light. Augsburg is famous for its water system, so famous that it has become a UNESCO World Heritage. Its technology of pumping water to the water towers to provide drinkable water to the city is quite impressive. With abundant water supply, Augsburg itself is very self-sufficient. There is a UNESCO information center in the city centre, which definitely worth a visit. It explained how and why the water system in Augsburg has been one of the heritages. Augsburg doesn’t have the commercial vibes. There were not many tourists there when we visited. The architecture is similar to Italy, so we had a feeling of visiting Venice but without the tourists. One good thing to visit Augsburg, you can get free water easily, just bring your own bottle.

We arrived in Frankfurt early in the morning. While waiting for checking in to our hotel, we toured around the city a bit. St. Paul Church Frankfurt is a former Protestant church, used as a national assembly hall. The Frankfurt Parliament convened here back to 1848. It is interesting to see an political assembly hall but with church elements remained.
The Goethe House is a writer’s house museum. It is the birthplace and childhood home of German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. We didn’t enter the museum this time as Cammy was fighting a cold and still not very energetic enough to tour around. But we had been here, just the outside to take a look. |
