Planetskier: Frankfurt is an alien space station

I got stuck at an elevator in Frankfurt the other day.

I tend to think of Frankfurt as an alien space transit station, so big it takes a long time to crawl through the station to another docking port. Sometimes a wormhole opens up that allows you to transfer more directly to your port, but you don't know if the wormhole takes one flight of stairs or a thousand year journey.

One must also be careful of renegade gangs who may set up "security check-point" at any random location. Or the merchants who'd rather see you wonder in their corridors forever, spending your precious space euros on some yellow alien drink. And pretzels.

On and off-piste skiing on all continents, skiing into craters of live volcanoes, climbing, photography, and travel." The Planetskier blog focuses on skiing, caving, climbing, biking, flying, sauna, and swimming adventures around the world.
