Departure and Germany Layover

June 13-15, 2013


After I spent a fun day in Chicago with my sister, brother-in-law, and wonderful niece and nephew, my Mom and I set out for our adventure.  We departed from O'Hare Airport for our two day travel to South Africa.


This is the Fountain of Justice that was completed in the 1600s. 
It used to flow with wine for the citizens to enjoy
We had a smooth flight to Frankfurt, Germany where we had a nine hour layover.  Rather than sit in the airport, we ventured out to the town.  We went to Romerberg square, had lunch (with Bier) at an outdoor cafe, and went on a double decker bus for a city tour.

Frankfurt was an interesting city that sits along the Main River with beautiful old buildings and sleek skyscrapers that are home to many financial institutions. 










Back at the airport, we enjoyed some wine and food in the Lufthansa lounge.  Our flights to Johannesburg and Cape Town awaited us.
