Another great sleep regardless of the hot weather. The day was warming rather rapidly but by the end of the day we had experienced the vagaries of the weather - sun shine, thunder storms, hail and hot and humid conditions after the storm.We joined Dirk and Brigitte for our last breakfast with them at their house, we will be meeting up with them in a day’s time at Gillenfeld, said our farewells and away by mid morning.
The supermarket was our first stop to replenish our empty fridge and cupboard. This out of the way, we were then on our way to Limburg an der Lahn.
Passing the Frankfurt Airport we passed the very different building called The Square - it looked more like a Zeppelin or a big whale! What ever it looked like - it was impressive - and one of the tenants of the building was The Hilton! It is rated as the number one conference centre in Germany.
We couldn’t help but notice how dry the landscape was, given that it is harvest season and many of the cereal crops have been harvested, but much of the surrounding fields appeared to be very dry after this extended period of very high temperatures and no rainfall for weeks.
On reaching Limburg we had a real change in the weather - thunderstorms swept through on three occasions - with one of these bringing huge hail stones with it, but as usual Hilton proved to be very waterproof and able to withstand what was thrown at him!
After arriving at Limburg we decided to delay our visit to the town in the cool of Sunday morning. A cool breeze kept things very comfortable for the rest of the afternoon and evening.
Got to hand it to you, that's clever photography of Hilton in the shiny ball....well done. Impressive conference centre too, most unusual. Enjoy the time left in Europe with your friends, before heading back to the UK (may be a bit cooler) xx
