25T91 Final travel day

By on

E90: Schengen limit.

I’m on an ICE train from Cologne non-stop to Frankfurt Airport; the trip is 70 minutes if there aren’t any delays. Online check-in completed last night, and the final feature is the 10.5-hour flight to Canada.

At Frankfurt Airport, I pass through security to go from landside to airside, and I pass through E.U. passport controls because I’m leaving Europe. The gentleman noted from my passport I’m on day 90 inside Schengen. I replied: “I know; that’s why I’m now at the airport.”

This ends 91 consecutive days of journaling for my European summer of 2025. Thanks for sticking around to the end, and I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoying putting all of this together. Additional and lengthier descriptions will follow in the coming weeks and months.

Bahnhofsvorplatz: see ya’ later, Cologne!
Bahnhofsvorplatz: Cologne central station.
Digital departures board.
Gleis (track) number 5.
ICE arrival at track 5.
Heading out to Frankfurt Flughafen (Airport); switch of trains not required. The final destination for this short-duration ICE train is Frankfort am Main Hauptbahnhof.
Flughafen Frankfurt: The Squaire, on top of the train station for long-distance trains.
Frankfurt Airport: Terminal 1, departures hall B. Judging by multiple appearances, is Apple truly pushing use of Apple Pay in Germany?
Departures hall C: checking the big departures board for assigned gate.
In “purgatory” without an assigned gate; on the tarmac about to board at Frankfurt Airport.
