Last week, my sweetheart had to stay in Frankfurt (about two hours south-east from here) for work, and we took advantage of that by adding the weekend to it. I joined him in Frankfurt on Thursday evening (they weren't working on Friday), and we stayed there until Saturday afternoon.
Here's the central old square in Frankfurt, where they were just building the Christmas market.
From Frankfurt we went to the picturesque wine-making town of Eltville, an hour by train away, where we stayed till Sunday afternoon. Eltville is right by the river Rhine and in a major wine-making area.
Saturday was quite sunny, and in the evening (well, around 5 o'clock ;) ) we enjoyed a beautiful sunset over the Rhine.
On Sunday we walked a good mile to the neighbouring village and were lucky to find a wine-maker who had an open day. We got to see some of the fermentation tanks, a bottling section, and storage shelves for left-overs from past years. There were bottles from back in the 80s here, that's why it looks so dusty. :D
And there was some wine to try afterwards, too. :D
Oooo, lovely, Hobby. Especially the sunset over the Rhine.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots all.

Wow, excellent sunset, Hobby. It looks like a very romantic trip you got to make.
ReplyDeleteAnd BONUS SCORE on the wine maker who was open on Sunday. Wine tasting is tons of fun.
