We arrived in the station at the Frankfurt Airport after only about 1 hour of travel on the train. We then took a shuttle from the airport to our hotel. After some watching TV, a little sink laundry, and some card games we headed down to play in the pool and sweat in the sauna. I realized it was a co-ed German style sauna after lying down for a few minutes then being joined by a German couple who walked in, said hello, and took off their towels and sat down. After getting over my surprise we talked for a but before the 90 degree heat drove me from the sauna.
After returning from the sauna, we decided to order some food. The flyer given to us by the front desk showed a restaurant that "specialized in pizza, schnitzel, Italian, Mexican, sandwiches, Indian and Chinese," which I suppose is impressive. In fact the place was both cheap and tasty. I had schnitzel, someone else got an "enchilada" (but not quite there), and the last guy got an Indian chicken dish.
We watched some more TV, played some more cards, and then passed out. I took off first to make the flight to Riga from the airport, which was earlier than the flight back to Chicago for the other guys.
On the trip to Riga which was about 2 hours, I had a lunch of a ham baguette, 100 g of dark Lindt chocolate, a glass of red wine and a glass of tea, all for free. American domestic airlines could learn from this. Also, not bad for a $69 flight.
I am about to land in Riga and will be travelling by myself for the next 20 days.
