There the tram to R\u00f6mer and from there it is only a few more steps to Alexandra&#8217;s place. We did spend the last evening with food and wine. Walked down to the Main river a few minutes before midnight to see some fireworks. It was really foggy and loads of drunk people letting off loads of firework. Really nothing I did miss the last 20 or more years. The next morning we had breakfast and then it was time to take another tram to the main station and a S-Bahn to FRA. <br \/>Went really early to try for an exit row seat and it did work. Than I walked back to the FRA train station and had lunch at REWE. <br \/>The last good beer for a few months &#8211; and a nice option to kill some time before the first leg of the flight. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2016\/pai\/001.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" alt=\"Train to Frankfurt\"\/><br \/>On the ICE from Stuttgart to Frankfurt.
