First day...

Hello there! I am writing this from Frankfurt, halfway through our first full day. We spent 10 hours of yesterday travelling (Oxford-London-Paris-Frankfurt); but it really didn't feel that long. All 3 of our trains were clean, punctual and very comfortable. The highlight had to be our ICE train from Paris l'Est to Frankfurt, which had very little plastic in sight, lots of legroom and generally felt quite luxurious. Cattle class it was not! Deutsche Bahn generally gets a lot of thumbs up from us.
There's generally not a lot to do in Frankfurt but we've occupied our time quite nicely; and we're off to Leipzig in an hour... One odd thing is they have chip & pin set up everywhere, but nowhere seems to use it... Twice we have signed for payment and once not even that!
