Hello gentlemen,
Have a good travel, Martin. In London, last summer, I liked visiting Imperial War Museum and British Library.
Best regards.
Alain.
Use the force, Luke.

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.

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.

The West Somerset Railway is my favourite one of our heritage railways, I've spent many happy hours there.

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.

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.

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.
