Bad event for the local basketball team but on January 5th, 2005 they´ve been defeated by the italian team Benetton Treviso. No matter about the result, I´ve been at the match cause I was curious about the event itself ... and ... WOW ... these guys know how to organize such a show. Do not miss a Skyliners match if you have a chance !!!
Bring a camera with you !

From April to October there is the Tuesday Night Skate. Start (8.30 pm) and Finish (aroung 11 pm) is at Deutschherrenufer. You are skating/blading about 33 - 45 km. The route varies and is not published beforehand because the organisers want to avoid skaters to join later. They are afraid of accidents.

We took a long walk around the Green belt north of Frankfurt, along the banks of the Nidda river.... very popular with locals who take their kites, bikes and dogs there in the evenings and at weekends. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: by Hausen and Praunheim

 Relaxing Room in the Sauna by Weissdorn The Rebstockbad was the absolute swimming pool, the non-plus-ultra for Frankfurt, when it opened in the 1980's, with its wave pool with meandering underwater way connecting the pools, and an outdoor message fountain! Then in the 90's the city of Frankfurt made a grave mistake with respect to it's regular pool fans – they felt sorry for the town's welfare recipients, because they couldn't afford to have a real vacation. So they gave them free passes to the Rebstockbad. It's hard to say this here, because I don't necessarily believe that a person's income determines their amount of respect for other people's property – but there was a direct constellation between the poor quality of the water, the number of thefts and the general condition and amount of noise in the Rebstockbad and number of free passes the welfare department issued. Finally the pool was becoming so run-down, that the city re-invested in 2003 and reopened the Rebstockbad. Now the Rebstockbad is also known as the “Aloha-Bad” and has been expanded to include the following facilities:
Pools include: non-swimmer pool, kiddie pool, wave pool, outdoor pool, diving pool (up to 5 m), water slide (120 m long), The Black Hole water slide (125 m long), and outdoor play ground. The Sauna area, which costs extra includes a dragon's breath steam room (45°C), the Geisha sanarium (a sanarium is for people who think a sauna is too dry for them – 60°C), the Tokyo Sauna (80°C), the Samurai Sauna (85°C), the Shogun Sauna (90°C), the Kyoto Sauna (95°C), the outdoor Lotus Sauna (95C°), the Bonsai Sauna (100°C), the Snow Chamber (-15°C), the Lotus Pond (outdoors), a whirlpool, a quiet resting room, a glassed-in patio, and a Mongolian Sauna. For an extra charges you can now receive entrance to the hot whirlpool garden, Turkish steam bath, get a regular or a reflex-zone message. They also have baby-sitting, an indoor restaurant and a sauna health-food bar. Please remember that beach shoes are required for the sauna area. Prices The pool costs 4.00 Euro for the first hour, and 0.50 Euro for every consecutive hour. The sauna center costs 7.00 Euro for the first hour, and 3.00 Euro for every consecutive hour.

by bonio A trip out to the Waldstadion to watch Galaxy defeat Barcelona 15 - 13 on a freezing cold evening. A very contentios penalty descision took the Galaxy within field goal range with just a few seconds on the clock, their German kicker made no mistake to send the fans home happy. Felt a little sorry for the Dragons, they looked the better team to me and other results this season tend to agree. Maybe the two will meet again in the Worldbowl, time will tell. Sadly the Frankfurt Galaxy and the NFL Europe are no more, 2007 was the last season. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports Watching

 Korea vs. Togo by Carino Frankfurt has been a host city of the World Cup 2006. My wife and I went to the game Korea vs. Togo. The stadium was just awesome and the game was allright. The funniest part of the game: The officials played twice the national anthem of Korea. We felt so sorry for the guys from Togo. The have been on the screen, looking puzzled and as their anthem finally started, the kids with the flag have allready left. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports Watching

by bonio OK so not strictly in Frankfurt but, if Eintracht have an away game and you fancy watching a football match Kickers Offenbach is your solution. Just a 15 minute ride on the S-Bahn to Offenbach Süd station then follow the crowds up the hill to Bieberer Berg stadion. We saw a DFB cup 1st round game against 1FC Köln from the 1Bundesliga.and consicering that Kickers have only just been promoted to 2 Bundesliga a 3-1 home win was a great result for them. At €8.50 for a terrace team it's cheaper than watching my local team in the UK, and they play in a standard many leagues below.

by bonio The home of soccer club Eintracht Frankfurt and NFL Europe side Frankfurt Galaxy is in April 2003 undergoing extensive alterations. I guess this is in preparation for the 2006 soccer world cup? Stands behind the goals / endzones are just about complete, one side is being built and another old stand was still there, not for long I guess? Leave a Comment Theme: Sports Watching
