Europe 2012 - Frankfurt

After a few days in Luxembourg we decided to head west to Frankfurt Am Main in Germany. Frankfurt can be summed up quite simply as a medium sized city with a few nice bits. Ok, probably an over simplification but that's how we saw it.

Unfortunately we visited the town on a Sunday and almost everything was closed or deserted. One place we did find interesting was a funky modern building which had a hole through it. To us it looked like a huge greenhouse gone wrong (in a good way) and was really cool on the inside too. Well worth a wander around but everything inside was closed!

After some lunch we visited the Romerberg square (which was the only place in town which was busy as there was an iron man competition going on) and the cathedral before catching the train back to our camp site. 

We had planned to do some caching in town, however our phones were dead as the campsite we were staying at had no electricity for tents and our converter plugs wouldn't fit the odd German sockets. We did manage to grab a couple of caches in a shopping centre we visited (as well as a pizza!). The first of these, NWZ Shopping Cache was on the top floor of the centres multistorey car park. In full view of the security cameras we discovered our first German cache and in the process forgot to leave a Geocoin I'd carried all the way to Germany to help fullfill its mission. In hindsight the location probably wasn't the safest to leave a coin so maybe it was for the best.

The second cache, Abenteuer Nordwest was actually just outwith the shopping complex and on the route back to where we'd parked the car. We hadn't intended to go for this cache but spotted that we would be walking right past it.
