By the numbers
Walked 9.49kms – Changi Airport
It was a little bit of a hike in terminal 3 for my plane,
but I made sure I was early and was waiting when the security guys turned up. I
had filled a bottle of water only to find that I had to empty it as it was a
security checkpoint. The change airport immigration into the terminals is
really easy, but before boarding each plane you have to head through security.
The plane was not actually that full at all. I had nearly an
entire row to myself and I was happy to take my boots off each time I sat down.
13 hours on a plane is long enough to wear shoes. I was watching movies the
entire time I was on the plane and I got some sleep, but it wasn’t that much. I
was able to fill my bottle up on the plane after asking the hostess and she was
happy to do so. I was happy that they seemed to look after everyone especially
when they had plenty of muffins. The movies I watched included Deadpool once
upon a time, Bumblebee and an Astrerix movie.
By the time the plane landed in Frankfurt it was wet and
apparently around 14 c. Flights had been cancelled due to weather and there
were suggestions of getting the train to the other locations.. I had no problem
getting through the gate even if I was asked why I was coming to Germany and
for how long. The train ride was easy too as I had wondered about that. I found
it to be easy so far and it got me to the main station.
The fun fact about the area I am staying in is the Red Light
district with clubs lining the street and I got caught by a lady who started
chatting to me outside one such club. There were three people outside and the
guy sitting outside told me I could look for free. I promised that I would be
back later. I really don’t think they realised the bags I had were heavy and I
had only just arrived. The lady said she
liked my accent. I did prtomise once I dropped my bags off that I would visit.
The hostel was pretty easy to find and while it has the bare minimum, it is
somewhere to sleep and I have a treasure chest that locks. Tomorrow I shall
jump onto the tram and explore the city and hopefuilly the weather improves.
