Wir gehen am Frankfurt
Why not, after all?
Gave Son the job of choosing the destination for a week's holiday, in the vague hope that he might manage some enthusiasm about the outcome, and with a fairly non-existent budget. He decided he could do with practicing his German (and picking up some cheap games) so we have flights (bad, I know, but too short notice to organise trains) to Frankfurt airport, it being considerably cheaper to get to from B'ham airport than anywhere else in Germany.
With some difficulty (it appears that the English don't go to Germany, and when they do fail to go,they only fail to go to Berlin or Munich) I have found a couple of campsites, one run by the Mainz canoe club, which has to be a good bet, and the other in a forest somewhere. We aren't actually going to Frankfurt itself, it being big and noisy.
So that's in about a month's time. Hurrah. We come back a week before Party.
