Hockenheimring

Vickas took Vicki and I to the Hockenheimring in Germany, the home of the German grandprix. There were no cars racing that day, just testing. But it was nice to see (in person) the track I’ve driven around in so many video games.

German cows

Ya know how in the movies the cows in Germany have bells on them? Well apparently those crazy Germans actually do attach bells to the poor cows! I have no idea why they do this. Imagine how insane you would go if some dork attached a bell around your neck! Every time you moved you would hear an irritating bell sound.

I took the photos in the Black Forest in south western Germany.

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.

What it looks likes when you are strapped to the side of a Boeing 747!

Flying on the side of a Boeing 747 at full pelt can be quite windy, I recommend taking some goggles along.

German submarine

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.

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