Hauling across the Top End in a TL E190. IMO, E190s are great birds.

Another fine, warm day in Hamburg

They didn't recruit the horses on looks



International Maritime Museum-amazing experience, 9 storeys of exhibits. Peter Tamm collection fantastic-on level 9 there are 50,000 model ships built on a scale of 1:1,250.

Prague Castle





The steps we didn't walk up to get there - unlike 95% of the visiting throng.



Instead we caught the very clean Metro 100 metres from our hotel on Wenceslas Square. We travelled for 2 stops, walked 50 metres and hopped onto a tram for another two stops. We then arrived the back entrance without having to climb any hills and taking about 5% of the time walking would have involved. To make it even better Prague public transport is free for over 65's. With the current state of my lower back this route was a godsend.

Our entry point with a small band marching out.

Speaking of the room and the hotel. There is a shared lounge at our hotel where you can relax, have a coffee or eat a meal you have purchased elsewhere etc. Came back from today's activities and when I was making a coffee I heard what I thought was an Aussie accent. The only others in the lounge were from Perth BUT once we started a little travel chat we ventured into points and then AFF forum. Turns out that the other man was a regular AFF contributor. The next hour or more was then an in depth discussion of many aspects of travel and AFF.

Salamanca market - 40 years on, still going strong and still very little cough for sale. This is one of the two ‘lanes’ going well into the far distance.
