Flights + Arrival in Germany

Flights

So I got dropped off at the airport in Guatemala City the morning of my flight and checked in easily enough. Everything went smoothly, except for the fact that I had to travel on 3 different planes!

First, Guatemala City > Miami. That was ok. When I got to Miami, I got hopelessly lost, and couldn't find where the TapAir Portugal flight terminal was! Turns out it was completely random and out of the way, tucked in the corner of level 1.

Miami > Lisbon. This was a connecting flight, by now I was already over planes. And I was sick of aeroplane food!

Lisbon > Frankfurt. I arrived about midday in Frankfurt.

Arrival in Deutschland

After checking through the airport, I waited at the train stop. I had contacted some friends on Facebook beforehand who were already there with the IUSP program (same uni stuff that I am doing) and they had told me where to go. I got off the train at the main train station in the middle of Frankfurt, and got lost again! Finally I found a tourist information centre in the station, and the lady helped me out - I had to catch another train to the part of Frankfurt where my hostel was. Turns out it is also the red-light district, as I found out when walking through it. Aaaaaakward.

Finally I got to my hostel, met the guys, and settled in. It was also snowing!
