Our flight from Boston was delayed and we missed our connection, so we've been hanging out in Frankfurt for the past few hours. We just sat down in front of a big window overlooking an inter-terminal area, and you would not believe the number of entertaining airport vehicles out there! We see:
- a dump truck, being filled with dirt and dumping it elsewhere
- a scooper (backhoe?), filling the aforementioned dump truck
- a truck that picked up a dumpster and drove away with it (not just a garbage truck, it actually removed the dumpster)
- a backhoe pretending to be a crane
- bendy bus
- non-bendy bus (ummm, a bus?)
- luggage trucks
- vacuum/street cleaning truck
- airplane tugs
- airplanes
- catering truck
- various cars and vans
- unidentified construction machinery
If anyone knows any 4-year-olds I recommend taking them on vacation to terminal A in the Frankfurt airport.
Also, airport staff is moving around the terminals by riding bicycles - equipped with generator-powered headlights, as required by German law!
A four year old? What about a 32 year old engineer with the heart of a child? Hope your plane leaves soon-Rialto is waiting! (yes I spoke to grandpa!)
