It looks like there was some inconsistent GPS tracking today. Some images at the start and near the end are not geotagged. I am not surrpised that my GPS tracker lost the signal inside the Frankfurter Dom (the big gothic cathedral in Frankfurt, outside photos 34-37, 40, 50, 64 and inside 41-49) but I am not sure what was causing the problem at other times. Anyway, today my uncle Helmut led us on a tour of central Frankfurt and it was a great to wander around and take in the old buildings. The highlight of the day was when I climbed the 324 steps to get to just beneath the tip of the cathedral's 95 meter (315 foot) spire. The panoramic view of Frankfurt from the top was quite something (photos 52-62). The spire's narrow spiral staircase, with its surprisingly worn stone steps and deep ochre walls, was in itself quite an interesting subject too (photos 51 and 63). Seen from above, in photo 59, there are some very interesting buildings, townhouses in an over-the-top postmodern style. It would have been interesting to take a little more time and explore the city some more but that will have to wait for a future trip...
