Leipzig

Re: Leipzig 

Our trip to Leipzig was an insane dash to catch trains. Due to our first train from Oestrich-Winkel being delayed, we missed our connector to Frankfurt by a minute. Compounding this was having to sprint across platforms in hopes of not missing our connection to Leipzig. Thank God we made it. I can just imagine the locals just laughing at us trying to haul all our luggage across a daughting distance... including running up and down stair cases and escalators.  

The hospitality we have experienced is unparalleled at during our stay in Oestrich-Winkel. They even provided us with an amazing bag lunch/dinner that was extremely delicious and filling.    

Leipzig is actually quite a litle city. We definitely checked out a macdonalds for a late night snack! I was surprised at the fact that they serve curly fries! However the burgers do taste quite similar. 

We spent most of day touring the BMW plant in leipzig. This state of the art facility was an amazing work of art. We had a chance to see each stage of how BMW produces several of it's models. 

One of the coolest things I have exerienced is meeting random people on the trains. Sometimes we run into expats that tell us their stories about living away from Canada. While on our rush from train to train, we even met a couple that were from Calgary!
