Walker's Travels in Scandinavia 2017 and others
43km, 20-37deg, fine and sunny. After an early brekkie in the hotel (B & B Hotel) we were on the way by 8am. Our main objective for today was to visit the Aircraft and Motor Museum at Sinshein. It's one of the biggest in the world. Arrived about lunch time after some challenging navigational issues, mainly due to the fact that we we off the beaten track. However most of the ride was fairly pleasant, with a few lumps that were not too challenging if you were in the right gear to start with! The Museum was nothing short of amazing; 3,000 exhibits, 300 vintage cars, 40 racing cars, 200 motorcycles, 27 locomotives, 50 aircraft, 150 tractors, numerous tanks, artillery pieces, lots of military equipment and loads of other "stuff". It was a little overwhelming really and you just had to pick out your main interests and walk past (slowly) the rest. A lot of the aircraft were set up in such a way that you could walk through them, including the French Concorde and the Russian copy, the Tupolev TU - 144. It is the only Museum in the world with both of these aircraft. Our Museum-Fill satisfied several hours later we rode the short distance to our hotel a Guest House where we had the facilities to cook our own food. As the Cooking Genes in the ladies had been suppressed for weeks, we had to release them, even for two meals; dinner and brekkie. So off we all went to the REWE Supermarket and purchased sufficient food for a small Army for a week. Dinner was prepared and cooked and taken onto a tiny passage/verandah which necessitated everyone standing up if someone walked past. It was all good fun and we all ended up fed and "watered". Another great day cycle touring.
