YES! Finally. It only took me a month, but this is the LAST of the mini RTW posts! I will do a summary post at some point (including what the whole trip cost) but for now, here’s the last flight of the trip, FRA-YYZ. I think we were a little bit insane from jetlag at this point.

The standard shell-type seats again. This time, we were in the mini-cabin of business class. It was its own section that only had two rows of seats.

Ha ha, look at those suckers back there in economy, thinks Mike. Or at least, that’s what I imagine he was thinking.

Pre-departure… water. EXCITING.

The menu has a different photo than the one yesterday. I appreciate this.

I honestly don’t even remember this meal.

Still not as German as I would think, but lots of potatoes.

Goodbye, Germany!

One final shot of Frankfurt.

I was trying to do something fancy with the Lufthansa logo, but this just ended up looking like a Myspace photo.

Ahhh, blue skies. The cool part about this flight was that it had INTERNET. For the entire flight! Including over the ocean! I didn’t even know that was a thing yet, since I’ve only had internet available on domestic/transborder flights before.

Appetizer salad

Green curry

Cheese plate!

More after-dinner chocolates.

Time for bed. Mike went to sleep while I sucked up all the in-flight internet. An eight hour flight from Europe passes in NO TIME if you have a bed and some internet.

Almost home.

Pre-landing snack: no idea what it was. Meat and cheese and cake?

Mysterious German food.

This looks like ice cream but I’m pretty sure it was cheese spread.

So pretty.

Hello, Toronto.

Three weeks and five countries later, we’d made it around the world in one (jetlagged) piece. I can’t wait until we have enough Aeroplan miles to do it again!

The timing of this post is kind of funny, because ground staff is on strike at Frankfurt Airport today.

We had several hours to waste at FRA. After we checked into the Sheraton (conveniently located in the airport!), we wandered around for a bit. It’s a strange feeling to be in an airport but not in a hurry and not going anywhere. That feeling plus jetlag left me with the disconcerting idea that I was somehow existing outside of time. If you’ve ever been super jetlagged while travelling, you probably know what I mean.

I’ve mentioned it before, but I love love love departure boards. Especially the kind with tiles that flip. I really want to buy one and put it on my wall.

FRANKFURT AIRPORT PRO TIP: There’s a grocery store in the basement of the airport! A real grocery store, with shopping carts and everything. Seriously, how many airports have an actual grocery store?

We cruised the aisles and bought German snacks.

Including these “Curry Gewurz Ketchup” chips.

Cute Lufthansa Lego A380!

German McDonalds

Fancy seating!

McDonalds has screens you can order from instead of talking to a person.

Chicken for breakfast? Also, I think it’s TOTALLY WEIRD that they don’t have hashbrowns at German McDonalds. Isn’t Germany the home of potatoes and meat?

They bring the food to your table. Civilized!

I had a “Sweet McGriddle” which is actually just the pancake part of a McGriddle. I slathered mine with Nutella. That’s right, German McDonalds has NUTELLA. Why can’t we have nice things, North America?

Mike had one of the regular breakfast meals.

After breakfast, we decided to go planespotting. Unfortunately, the observation deck was closed for the winter, so we could only gaze at it sadly from inside.

Mike likes planes.

We never actually went outside.

The Lufthansa Senator lounge. The food selection was okay and the lounge itself was nice but really busy.

Smells like… Team Spirit.

The toilets in the lounge were self-cleaning and bizarre*. The whole seat would spin around. I can really only explain it with a video:

* Japanese toilets don’t faze me, but German toilets? WEIRD!
