Andrew: Where is the closest supermarket?…read more Hotel Front Desk: You head down to the train station find Karlstr and walk down. Easy enough to find. Now I know Rewe is one of the main supermarkets in Germany, during my travel I also saw one south of Frankfurt. With that I'll give those who travel a little tip: the local supermarket should be your first stop when travelling because instead of paying the little retail stores two euros and change for a bottle of tiny water, the supermarket sells the larger sized ones for less than one euro. Bam. Two: even though my hotel served a great breakfast, I just love Tangerines or Oranges in the morning, it's like a dose of sunshine in the morning...that and coffee. In this case Rewe had a bag of Clementines for about one euro. Bam, Andew is like sunshine now. Though I didn't try this Rewe has a salad bar and serves hot food and sandwiches. It's not so grand, it's not so bright and not so big. But you can get everything you need here, including alcohol and things to freshen up your day. Merry Christmas!

The food counter looks like where drunk guys spend their leftover euros after the strip club, and I was left wondering if they close at 22:00 to avoid violence in the store. The food is fine, though they clearly stock for a less than healthy crowd who seems to live crackers, cheap cookies, a bit of dairy, and 1/4 of their diet in alcohol...such are the proportions of aisles. The line, even at 21:30 on a Tuesday, was 8 people long and not fast - seems as if the same hazy customers run the till.
