Day 2 Regensburg


Got to Frankfurt at 9:30am. I was unable to configure my international sim card, unable to find free wifi and travel buddy but finally tried American sim card and was able to establish we were both at different McDonalds in different terminals.

We joyously reunited and got our Bahn passes sorted, we hopped on a random train and ended up at Frankfurt central. We walked around and got side tracked by a fake tower, and lost some sense of direction, we almost missed our train, but with with five minutes to spare we jaywalked our way back into the station, hauled our luggage from the lockers and literally threw our 50 pound bags onto the train a minute before departure. It was an amazing race moment...

We attempted to nap, switched trains and saw many beautiful quaint triangular roofed houses with greens meadows and yellow flowers. We made it to Regensburg and my German Buddy was able to find us. We yet again lugged our luggage up a flight of antique stairs and after releasing our load walked around the city. Many beautiful churches could be seen and we came across a Bavarian Fair. They had cute cookies with messages on them for sweat hearts and the biggest pretzels I have ever seen! Many of the locals even had traditional outfits on as they enjoyed the festivities. Our feet hurt, but after a warm shower and brief communications via skype with the parentals we relaxed and finally after not sleeping for close to 48 hours went to bed...
