We took a 100-minute cruise on the Main river. It was quite pleasant, but not too many great photo-ops. The harbor area is fairly industrial, so it was sort of like a tour of South San Francisco (the industrial city). Here are the pictures from the cruise. Hover over them for captions. Note: The Frankfurt area is also known for its apple cider.
After the boat trip, we went to the Frankfurt Historical musem and saw an exhibit about Dr. Heinrich Hoffman, the man who wrote Der Struwwelpeter; this is a book my parents had when we were kids. It’s sorta creepy.
The musuem also had a display of the city after World War II and how it had been restored; that was quite interesting.
These last pictures are from the Altstadt (old city) near the dock. They look sort of like gingerbread buildings.
