Germany Work Trip

After a lovely trip back to the UK, seeing friends all over the place, being in my friends wedding and generally having a great time, I came back to Abu Dhabi for all of 5 days of Ramadan. Tough work I must say, no eating or drinking between 4am - 6.30pm in any public place, that includes chewing gum!! So I was glad to have the excuse to go to Germany on business and resume a bit of normality!

I first went to Munich, beautiful city, wonderful food market, and, of all things, a C&A!!! Thought that those shops had shut down years ago!! I was a bit dissapointed that I wasn't there for the beginning of Oktoberfest, but maybe next year!!! I stayed at the Sofitel, amazing hotel, I really liked it.
Then it was to Dusseldorf, once again, fabulous hotel, the InterContinental! I would highly recommend it! Had a couple of hours to walk around the city. Still a pretty place, but not quite the same as Munich.
Then we went to Frankfurt. It was, well, Frankfurt! I actually enjoyed it more than last time. I saw a little more of the old town, which was lovely, especially random were the firemen singing in the square playing an acordian! Bizarre!

It was actually nice to come back to Abu Dhabi, just in time for Eid and 2 extra days off (which was good considering I spent my weekend travelling!).

German firemen singing their hearts out!
