First day at Frankfurt

A glimpse of Frankfurt's skyline (Captured on a Moto G phone)

My first day at Frankfurt has been a very eventful one. The Lufthansa flight I took from Bangalore was on time and I arrived at Frankfurt airport at 8:30 am in the morning. Immigration and luggage claim didn't take much time and in next 30-45 minutes, I was on my way on a taxi to the hotel. And this is where the fun started. I was told that the check-in time is 3 pm which meant that I had to kill almost 5 hours before i could even get a room. Luckily, the lady at the reception obliged to keep two of my heavy bags in the Cloak room. The weather was not great, it was drizzling a bit but still I thought it would be worthwhile to explore the city a bit despite the rain. I walked down to the train station, called Hauptbarnhoff here and started checking out the place. My little errand took about 2 hours and by the time I came back to the hotel, it was past 12 noon. Another half an hour at the hotel lobby helped me get a room. Relieved at getting the room earlier than what was told earlier, and refreshed after a quick bite, I decided to walk around the city this time. I had some idea, thanks to Google maps but the earlier walk in the morning helped. I walked down to MainzerLand Stasse and then walked down all the way to the Skyline Plaza, one of the largest mall I have ever been to. Five minutes in the mall and I realized that this is a preferred shopping in Frakfurt. A further walk took me to WestgateEnd, a building that has Wipro's office. On the way back, I thought that I should be more adventurous and took a train from Frankfurt Messe station to Hauptbarnhoff. Big deal for me !

To sum up my effort, I must have walked around 6 km in the city today. This should help the fact that I haven't hit the gym in the last 7 days, however, what's more important, I am even more confident for tomorrow.
