Today my travel from home to hotel was about 27 hours.

The sequence was: Car, Shuttle Bus, Plane (that never took off), Plane, Train, Train and Street Train

Plus a lot of walking 🙂

Needless to say I am tired, so will just make a quick post.

I was supposed to take off from SFO at 2:05 on Tuesday afternoon. After a change of equipment we finally took off for Frankfurt at about 7:20. Only a little more than five hours late.

Of course, that meant we were five hours late getting into Frankfurt. Taking this picture brought back memories from the last time I was in Frankfurt airport. See: Frankfurt to Jerusalem

I also just missed a train to Erfurt so had to wait a couple hours until the next train. I could have taken an earlier train but it had more connections and didn’t save me too much time. I was already late and just wanted to relax for a bit and not make as many trips up and down the steps of a train.

We were soon speeding along across the south of Frankfurt and then on north to Erfurt.

In Erfurt I had to change trains to a regional train that putted along to Jena.

Then I had to wait 25 more minutes for the street train since it doesn’t run as often at night. I could have walked to my hotel quicker, but it is uphill via walking trails and it was raining.

So, now to sleep and get ready for a busy day tomorrow.
