We arrived in the Frankfurt-Hahn airport last night at 11:30pm. I was nervous flying into a place so late and not having any arrangements for the night, but low and behold, it was easy as pie. Casey, Jeff and I followed the only sign written in English, “Hotel-Tourist Information” to the exact place we needed to go. The man staffing the desk got us all set up for the evening in Hotel Venezia, wouldn’t ya know. :-) The owner of the hotel came and picked us up in the free airport shuttle and I spoke Italian with him all the way to the hotel. In the course of the eight minute ride, he had already determined our destination for time in Germany; Cologne (Koln in German). He led us to the room and called us a few minutes later to inform us that the bus left at 9:30am so we were to be ready at 9:15am and he would drive us but we’d better be downstairs at 8:45am so we’d have plenty of time for breakfast. I pretty much loved this guy, nothing could have been simpler and the room was perfect for the night.
