Frankfurt, Germany

Greetings from Johannesburg, South Africa!  It took almost two days, but I'm finally here and enjoying their winter weather in August.  On the way, I had a long layover in Frankfurt.  I've never been to Germany before, so I was excited to explore!  (Travel tip: If you're traveling with carry-on bags and you don't want to haul them around during a layover, some airports- like Frankfurt- offer bag drop service for a nominal fee.)



Frankfurt has an excellent public transportation system which I would have used if I was staying longer.  You can get on the S-Bahn at the airport and it will take you to the city center in minutes.  I hailed a taxi at the airport because I didn't want to waste time potentailly getting lost.  My driver was very helpful and told me about the best ways to get around and what to see.
