Frankfurt Airport

Posted September 25, 2001 07:06 | Category: Germany (2001) | #

I met with another LEGO fan in Frankfurt in the evening, and spent the night in a hotel in Bad Homburg, a spa town which is only 20 minutes by train from Frankfurt. I didn't get a chance to visit the spa, but will definitely make that a priority for my next European adventure. From the descriptions and brochure, it sounds like a great place.

On Tuesday morning, I went straght to the airport (flughafen - think "flight haven" in English) for my flight home. I took some pictures in the terminal - they have baggage carts that are designed for use on the escalators, which I thought was quite clever.

Inside the terminal building waiting area, a man moves a bunch of carts
where they will be needed (presumably, near the gates).
