A Decent Time Here Still Beats a Great Time Elsewhere

COMING IN (largely unchanged)

My employer already had me in metro Frankfurt for work, so I decided to take advantage of a day off. I arrived at FKK Sharks at 3:30 on Friday, via the German train system (Deutsche Bahn) to Darmstadt Hauptbahnhof and a taxi. The German train system is clean and navigable for an American, though it helps to know a little bit of German. From there, it's a 10 minute, 11 Euro cab ride to Sharks. It's located on a highly commercial street with a lot of auto-related businesses, with the door tucked in the back. It seems like this is the preferred mode of arrival, as there's always cabs there waiting to take people back to Darmstadt Hbf.

LAYOUT (unchanged except for seasonal differences)

You come in, and there's a desk at the right where you pay the 65 Euro admission fee (discounted to 50, I believe, on Wednesdays). You get a robe, a towel, a pair of slippers, and a key. The locker room is on the left. Go in there, you throw your stuff in a locker, shower up, and hit the floor.
