First jet lagged day in Frankfurt

We both stayed awake too long on the plane. At best we got 4 hours sleep before we were awakened for the descent into Frankfurt. I did not get all of the breakfast I ordered so was hungry as well as tired.

At least we could check in to our room which was upgraded from the standard room to a suite.

Nice little balcony.

After Scott’s nap, we went walking towards the city centre.

Lots of office towers. Robin works on the third one from the left, Inge is in the one three more to the right, I think.

And more modest structures.
