On the Friday of my departure, I had reserved ample time to get ready and to get packed. I had made a check list to prevent forgetting something to bring. Around 1 pm, Franziska headed out the door for Frankfurt central station with a suitcase full of dresses, shoes, lingerie, a dressing gown, jewelry, make-up, etc. and a broad smile on her face, as you can imagine.
At Frankfurt central station: You might remember this light and simple brown dress from an earlier posting, which seemed suitable for moving about in the summer heat. Matching sandals with a slight wedge heel complete the outfit. You might have also noticed a change in hair style. As already announced, I had Franziska's blonde wig trimmed to shoulder length. Cute, don’t you think?
German public transport regulations required face masks to be worn on the train at that time – an annoying, but also a sensible fact, while travelling together with lots of people in one wagon. German trains can be very busy at times, especially on Friday afternoon. As I did not want to be standing the whole time or be seated next to – you never know who – for the two hours on the train, I made a reservation in first class, where there are single seats available.
After two uneventful hours on the ICE high speed train, reading a women’s fashion magazine, Franziska arrived at Stuttgart central station, walked to the hotel, checked in, changed to outfit #2, and headed out to dinner. Checking in provided for a short moment of anxiety, when the guy behind the counter said: “Is it correct that the reservation was made by a man?” “Yap”, I answered, “that is correct.”

I look forward to Part 2. Your eye makeup is very nice and the hair works in that shorter style, too. Sue x
ReplyDeleteDear Sue, Thank for visiting and for your nice compliments. Franzi
ReplyDeleteDas klingt ja interessant - Stuttgart kenn ich auch ein wenig - das wollte ich auch immer mal machen - ein Weekend enfemme- freue mich auf die Fortsetzung - und dass die Maske wieder weg ist.

Liebe Violetta, vielen Dank für Deinen Besuch und Kommentar. Das war auch toll und ich kann das sehr empfehlen. Im November 2022 war Franziska dann gleich nochmal für ein Wochenende unterwegs und für Juni ist das nächste schon geplant :-) Liebe Grüße, Franzi
