The flight over was relatively busy but only around 6 hours, so we were there before we knew it. Our hotel is right next to the airport, so we walked over from the terminal and once I got up to my room I collapsed onto the bed! A few hours later a few of us met up to head into town for some dinner.
Since it was Sunday, almost everything was shut, as is the norm in Germany. After a quick trip on the train, we were in the city centre. It was pretty quiet, and although it was chilly, it was nice to get some fresh air and see a new city.
We crossed over the river and walked a little bit further to a street which was full of restaurants. The captain had been recently and had a restaurant in mind, which served typical German food so we were all happy to try that one.
It also had a giant pig out the front which was quite a novelty factor! I had a delicious schnitzel, and the others all had some kind of typical German dish, ranging from curry-wurst a sausage chopped up and served with a kind of curry sauce to huge pork knuckles.
We left after one drink as the service was absolutely terrible and the waiter was just incredibly rude to us! On our way back to the train station we stopped to get an ice-cream …perhaps not ideal for the freezing weather, but very yummy! The next morning there was time for a quick workout in the gym and a spot of breakfast before the flight home.
