Some good luck.

Well it was a bit of a stressed out start, after been given an impossible connection at Heathrow we had to wait there for over 4 hours. In the end we got into Frankfurt later than the sleep at Singapore option. But that wasn't the worst of it. We waited and waited for out bags. Baz's backpack was there but that was all.  It was already after 2pm (we were originally meant to arrive at 6am) and we were getting a train out at 9.30am the next morning. So was a bit stressed. They told us our bags were in London and should be landing at around 5pm. So in to Frankfurt we went.  Frankfurt is quite a modern city and in past visits to Germany I had never noticed how much they drank in public. There were people everywhere walking around with bottles of beer, and in some cases small kegs. Romer place was a nice area built in the traditional German style.  They also love there ice cream. We walked along the river and back to our hotel. Bought myself a new t-shirt, the one i had on had been worn for 36 hours straight and wasnt too plesant. Our bags hadn't arrived. Went and had a bite to eat, still no bags. So we rang BA at 8.30pm and they said the bags had landed at 8 and were on the way to the hotel. Fell asleep soon after. At midnight we were awoken by reception to say our bikes had arrived much to our relief. Woke up till tired didnt get as much sleep as I would of liked. Went for a run through the city, always love running round a new city in the morning. There were so many broken beer bottles everywhere. Running through the red light district was interesting, it was still all happening. After a nice traditional breakfast it was on to the train on route to Holten, The Netherlands to see Roy and Anita. The ICE fast trains here are so nice and fast compared to home. We had to make a few changes along the way and as we were waiting for our last train Baz realized he had left his wallet on the previous train. We jumped on our next train in a pretty flat mood. When the conductor came along we told her. She got straight on the phone to the othertrain. About 1/2 an hour after we arrived in Holten we got a phone call saying it had been found and it had all the cards and money in it. Couldn't believe our luck. So back in the car we drove 2 1/2 to get it back, thank you Anita.
