It's Saturday morning, 07:30 AM. I just arrived to Lufthansa First Class Terminal in Frankfurt after a 15 min taxi ride from home. A friendly lady rushed to greet me, took my check-in luggage, handed it to her colleagues, took my passport and escorted me in to the terminal.
- Good morning Sir, welcome to First Class Terminal, would you like to have something to drink?
- Good morning, thank you, a glass of champagne would be nice?
- Oh absolutely, Sir.
There is something special with starting the day with a nice glass of champagne early in the morning. I sat down by the gorgeous looking bar and enjoyed my glass of bubbles. As I hadn't eaten anything in last 12 hours, I decided to hit the breakfast right away before I get too tipsy.
- Sir, over here is the breakfast buffet and here is the menu. Would you like me to bring you anything, coffee?
- I've heard the Eggs Benedict are splendid over here, could I have a portion of those please? Oh, and another glass of champagne if you don't mind?
- Absolutely Sir.
A new glass of champagne arrived right way. While waiting for my Eggs Benedict I had a look at the breakfast buffet.
- Sir, Eggs Benedict for you.
- Mmmmmm, looks lovely, thank you!
That was delicious. The poached eggs had perfectly runny yolks and the sauce Hollandaise tasted delicious. However, I was still a bit hungry and there seemed to be lots of interesting drinks available, so I better eat a bit more before I enter the cigar lounge.
I had another look at the buffet and the English Breakfast, my favourite always, looked absolutely irresistible!
Excellent! Few exotic fruits for dessert and I'm done here, time to hit the Cigar Lounge!
Oh my goodness, I'll be tasting these for the next two hours!
And these!
However, after the delicious but heavy breakfast I sit down with a glass of nice red wine and a cognac. Oh, and the cigar of course.
