Welcome Martin, and your wife. Are you staying long and will you get to visit any museums?
-
Martin, my family hasn't lived in GB for almost 400 years but, I am sure they would say Bienvenue!
Have a good time....just be careful of that stuff they call beer.
Cheers from NYC in the New World,

Waves from somewhere nearby in Kent. I hope you enjoy your stay Martin.

I envy you, Martin, I think you'll both have a terrific holiday! If I recall correctly you've recently retired from a life of Military service? You've earned a good break, some rest, and a Thank You for your Service. Enjoy!!

Are you planning on coming to the Cotswolds? I am in Cirencester (capital of the Cotswolds and the lots of Roman history) so can always met up and say hello.
Andy

Sorry Andy,
we are now in the Blackdown Hills near Honiton In Devon. That for the next seven days.
From there we drive to Schottland and later back to London.
Martin

Brace yourself Martin, the North of Scotland was my last journey and I could easily have stayed forever! It's beautiful, you'll both love it!
Enjoy,
Lance

Hi Lance,
1996 we go around North Scottland with the coast road. Now we want to see Edinburg, middle and south Scottland.
Martin
-
Today were we in the Fleet Air Arm Museum. A very great collection.
Photos about WW I planes come when I at home.
Martin
-
Glad you got there, Martin. I thoroughly enjoyed it when I went some years ago. Sadly I took no photos, so I'll look forward to seeing yours.
Best wishes
Nigel

I see mine on the tablet today, but at home I send them to my pc and load up.
Martin

G'day, Martin.
Michelle and I just have just returned from the UK ourselves. We spent our time in north Wales and Michelle was really upset about having to leave. If Michelle did move there there she would soon change her mind, though, the first time the temperature dropped below 10°C! ;D
The A55 is a brilliant road and it will get you along the north coast to Caernarfon, in just three or four hours (even if you stick to the 70mph speed limit- which most drivers don't!). The people are really friendly, the scenery is beautiful and there's plenty of great places to eat (eg Two the Square and The Olde White House hotel at Conwy or the Black Boy Inn in Caernarfon).
If you have a spare day on your trip to Scotland, you seeing Conwy and Bodnant Garden would be well worth your time- and get you some credit with the missus.
Cheers.

Hi Dal
In1996 my family and I live for about seven month in Pembrock. We drove very miles to see a lot of Wales.
Now we want see other landscapes, that we don't saw at that time.
Martin
-
Lucky man, Martin! I wouldn't mind being able to spend a few months in Wales (or anywhere in Europe_- especially if I got a few days in the STAM in Ghent, BAM Ingolstadt, HGM Wien, Duxford, etc.
Cheers.
Dal.

Hello gentlemen,
Have a good travel, Martin. In London, last summer, I liked visiting Imperial War Museum and British Library.
Best regards.
Alain.
-
Hi Dal
yes I am a lucky man. I was there with the German army in Castle Martin.
Alain we will them again, because our children where three and four years old and so we can not stay very long on one place.
Martin
-
i hope you enjoy your vacation. thank you for photos.
-
Yes Scott this is a very beautiful journey.
The last days we were in Exeter, West Somerset Railway with Minehead sightseeing, Plymouth with National Marine Aquarium, Dunster village and Castle and today Sidmouth with coast.
Tomorrow we drive to the Scottish boarder at Greenhead with the Hadrians Wall.
Martin
-
The West Somerset Railway is my favourite one of our heritage railways, I've spent many happy hours there.
-
On the way to Minehead we drive with Diesel, back with Steam. Very beautiful and one and half hour long journey.
Martin
-
Today we are in aour new cottage by the Scottish Borders near Jedburgh. Before we arrive, we drive along the Hadrians Wall with an stop and sightseeing Roman Museum in Greenhead.
Martin
-
Today we were the third time in Edinburgh. What a nice city!
Saturday we drive to London.
Martin

Hi Martin, if you go down the A1 to go south from Edinburgh, you will pass very near the Scottish Museum of Flight, near Haddington. Well worth a detour if you have the time. They have a Concorde and a Vulcan amongst much else. Unfortunately some of the hangers are closed at the moment but the airfield itself is very interesting. It's where the transatlantic airship records were started from.
Pity you don't have time to go up the west coast. The scenery from Skye to Cape Wrath is some of the most beautiful in the world.

Take the A68 from Edinburgh south, a beautiful road I've driven many times when visiting family in Aberdeen.
Ian
-
i envy you guys in europe. so much history within a few hundred miles radius.
-
Macsporran: We had other great buildings seen. First the great bus tour arround Edinburgh with Edinburgh Castle and different parts like jail, crown and other.
Second visit to the National Museum of Scotland and third the Royal Botanic Garden.
All need very much time and like the land are very beautiful.
Ian: We drive with the car on this road to the capital city and it is very nice to see the differnce between the landscapes.
Scott: The next museums we will see in London. There are so much diffenent to see.
Martin
-
Today we are in London. Last stop in our tour.
Tomorrow we visit the British Museum.

Take the A68 but then divert onto the A697 via coldstream, same landscape but the trucks don't use it.
Martin, I hope you and your wife have enjoyed this trip, and will you come back?
-
Hello Ian
Sorry but at the end of London trip it goes back to Germany. But how knows it ?
My wife will stay many more time, but then we are over four weeks in GB.

Today we are by Hannats and at least at RAF Museum in Hendon.
For me one of the best. So many birds!
