Getting There (Bad Soden-Salmünster)

CAUGHT British Airways' 11:10 from Heathrow to Frankfurt, and from there by airport train and regional train to Bad Soden-Salmünster, a spa town in Hesse, arriving at my hotel this afternoon at about 16:45 central European time.
View from the balcony of my room (you might just be able to pick out a robot lawnmower beside the foreground tree)
I am playing in a 65+ seniors' tournament, which, judging by this pic from last year's inaugural event, will be held in spacious conditions.
It starts tomorrow afternoon, followed by eight morning rounds, and has a time control of 130 minutes, with a 30-second  increment.
There are 27 entrants, headed by a Fide master.
