Robbie Burns Day - January 25th

O, My Luve is Like a Red, Red Rose.

O, my luve is like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June.
O, my luve is like a melodie,
That's sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I,
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi the sun!
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve!
And fare thee weel, a while!
And I will come again, my luve,
Tho it were ten thousand mile!

The Stop Over

Riddle me this: Which is one of the last countrys in the Europe Union to not have Sunday shopping?

If you guessed Germany good job (if not better luck next time).

What day did we arrive in Germany?

Sunday.

The first thing we realized is that Germany is not as anti-smoking as Canada. From the airport we walked to the train station and at 7 o'clock in the morning there were a bunch of old guys smoking and drinking. We than pissed off the locals by taking a half an hour to buy train tickets. To further frustrate them we couldn't figure out how to get in the train (you have to open the door (duh)). You know those zombie movies where everything is dead and the streets are absolutely deserted. That pretty much sums up most of our experience in Frankfurt. It was beautiful and some of the architexture was breathtaking but at 7:30 am it was kinda quiet. Somehow we ended of spending the majority of our time in a Starbucks (totally against my will (I really hate coffee)).

To be continued...

The flight

I love flying!

The flight from Toronto to Frankfurt was pretty uneventful. We all basically slept right through it (except Dan). I sat beside Auntie Leslie, the bride and groom got to sit together and of course Dan got stick with some stranger that annoyed the hell out of him. The food was decent (it didn't kill us), the movie was new (does anyone still watch Woody Allen movies?) and the drinks were free. The landing was the smoothest I've experienced (which is quite impressive (it also kept Dan from passing out)).

Stop Over post coming soon.
