London meeting 2005: part 2, Bad Waldliesborn

CI -- Good, I'll be looking for it.

Walter -- 190 miles per hour? Whooooooooosh!!!

Not really: we did - on the same line - 324km/h (= 200 mph): you only notice that, when reading it on the speedometer in the waggons.

The steam trains of Britain
Are better to sit in

Indeed

1rst class Btitain vs. 2nd class Germany :wink:

Walter, I saw some German trains at the tech museum in Berlin that looks quite more classic than the one you posted. LOL

Piffka, our friend pwayfarer just returned from Malta. Here are two good sites of interest.

Malta has such an interesting history - I'm planning a trip there myself.

CJ,
Yes, I agree, the autobahn is so great. After my first trip to Germany in '76, I excitedly told all my friends about the "driving" experiences in Germany. Especially the young teenagers dream come true - the great "green light drag race" to the next traffic light. grin
After many visits and more "racing around everywhere" - I finally found myself flashing my lights at certain people (probably tourists) and pointing to my head. BIG grin.

danon, I just posted my first travelogue on Malta in the Travel Forum/Europe just today if you're interested - with some pics.

You should be careful, especially on the El Camino Real, as I've seehere!

c.i., Great! You are such a prolific traveler and take really good photos. Thanks for the pix.

Walter, I have jokingly said about American highways that the fastest auto on the road is a tailgaiter.
In USA, we do not have the drivers staying in the right lane of traffic. They are everywhere and very unpredictable in their driving habits.

And what about driving wabbits?

Hehe Walter, I don't drive these inland roads. I'm more coastal, but
we have 2 motorcycle officers who just work our little village and they
hide in a spot where the speed limit is 25 mph. for a short stretch.
Luckily, drivers here are good in warning others of the CHP

danon5, you got into German traffic pretty fast, with
naughty handsignals and all

For those who may be interested in the first segment of my travelogue can see it here. http://www.able2know.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1345642#1345642

Steve,

Upon a second look, you are quite correct. The figure does look feminine.

Uh Oh,
It's the bearded lady if Steve is correct. Where's Ripley when you need him?

big grin.

Francis, We driving wabbits are really fast.....! - nuther grin.

CJ, I've been driving in Europe during 12 or 13 trips since that first time. It was during the fifth or sixth time that I found myself blinking the lights - (I sometimes think I'm a slow learner). I have actually - in real life - never pointed to my head unintentionally. I did a couple of time just because the devil make me do it. grin.

Darn Adlers!!!!!!!!!

c.i. - That is such an impressive group of photos. I'm now sure I'm visiting Malta - there is way too much history to be missed if I don't.

well I dont think 2 weeks of stubble and mis-applied cheek blusher should necessarily detract from one's feminine side

on the other hand, wouldn't want to get into bed with it either

danon, Let me know before your trip to Malta, cause I can recommend some good restaurants.

c.i.,
Will do. We are planning for a visit next Spring, but will have to wait and see as the time nears.

Steve,

First you say she, then you say it. How about an androgenous woman with a hormone malfunction?

s

sumac, Better watch out! Most of us as we age have a "hormone malfunction."
