I got blissfully lost in Frankfurt whilst searching for the Goethehaus. Enjoy the gallery of the pics I took – living in Johannesburg, Frankfurt is deliciously orderly.

A lovely collection of Frankfurt pics – but it begs the question: Did you ever find the Goethehaus?
And yes, I know what you mean – after 17 years of Johannesburg I live close to Frankfurt now. Sala kahle!
I did indeed find the Goethehaus, sadly the house itself was closed for renovations but the museum was open 🙂
