Vonderful Visit!

We touched down on a Saturday morning via MH 0005 Frankfurt am Main to KL still relishing in our minds the wonderful memory of spending a week in the German city of Frankfurt Main. Lots of frankfurters and beers were consumed during this trip... check out the gut in the photo :-) for evidence. We also walked and travelled quite a bit during this short but interesting trip. The first 3 days were spent mainly in Frankfurt Main city itself. Our hotel is located about 10mins walk from the city area. Just minutes from Maritim hotel (a business one), one arrives at the Festhalle Frankfurt, the city's concert and exhibition hall. On the 25th, George Michael performed there and all of us in our hotel rooms could hear his display of vocal prowess (actually very pleased with the free concert :-)). The main attraction to our trip was a visit to the Leica camera factory in Solms. We accessed Solms via the Giessen town passing by Wetzlar and finally to the quiet town of Solms. All this by magnetic levitated trains. What more can we say: very pleased indeed with all the historical cameras in the factory. What an experience to behold. Also we witnessed the production of lenses, polishing processes, adhesion processes, and of course, the assemblying of the the new M8 digital camera. Our tour of the factory ended 2 hours later and we roamed further the town of Solms before departing back to Frankfurt. Danke Frankfurt!
