Birds but unidentified.  Sorry.




Woodpecker nest. Babies chirping gave it away.

horse trail? Not sure.

Getting my "nest" shot!

The paths were wide and inviting!

We had a great couple hours exploring!

Stuck on the plan for another 30 minutes was difficult with passengers already in the aisles and cued to deplane. Chatting with a nice couple from Tampa who were trying to make a connection for a 12:15 departure to Budapest, I learned of their river cruise plans. Luckily they had planned for 4 days in Budapest before boarding their boat. This was going to be their first river cruise but they were liner cruises already and had 6 other friends from those cruises traveling the same route with them. They took the problems in stride which was an education for me. Frankfurt is not a well-planned airport. We walked a country mile to co...
