You will find a ticket machine on the S-Bahn platform (S9, 
S45) where you have to buy an 'ABC' ticket. (Machines 
where you type in a 4-digit code of the destination are 
the wrong ones!) The ticket is valid for all the transport 
facilities mentioned above for 2 hours. Do not forget to 
get a stamp on the ticket from any of the stamp machines 
on the platform.


WEATHER
-------

Temperatures are typically between 20 and 30 deg Celsius
(68 to 86 F) during daytime. Current models predict a
rather chilly week. Weather is variable in Germany, and 
it may rain occasionally. Temperatures at night often 
fall below 15 deg Celsius (59 F).


Sincerely,
the LOC
