Technik Museum Speyer
Vikas Aggarwal took Victoria Argyle and I to the Technik Museum Speyer in Germany. They had all sorts of different types of locomotion including trains, planes, automobiles and underwater submarines.
We got strapped to the side of a Boeing 747 and taken for a flight. It was quite blustery but I managed to snap the following pic just after takeoff.
Flying on the side of a Boeing 747 at full pelt can be quite windy, I recommend taking some goggles along.
My plans of becoming a sub-mariner were squashed as soon as I entered this thing. It is the most seriously cramped place I
And to really put paid to my sub-mariner plans, these torpedo bays are only meters from the bedroom area.

Vikas decided to go first-class instead of wing-class on the Boeing 747.

This was actually taken at the Schiphol airport in Amsterdam, but it seemed like an appropriate place to put it.

When in the Black Forest, we all went photo crazy with lots of pictures to be taken of the beautiful scenery.

Vikas Aggarwaal took us to the Black Forest in south western Germany. The scenery made it feel like home 
We took a short Gondola ride to the top of a ski field (summer season) and went on a scenic walk through the forest.

Heidelburg
After our day trip to Karlsruhe, Vicki and I met up with Vikas Aggarwal (another former labmate of mine) and headed over to Heidelburg. When we arrived, we met up with my old friend Sandra Panienka and Vikas’s friend Stephanie Jungkunz.

The city is incredibly beautiful. High up on the hilltop is the famous Heidelberg Castle which went to visit.
