My Travels to Swizerland, Germany, Austria and Hungary. October 2017

[HKS]

Explanation for the last pix. On my night-time flight from Chicago to Munich, I paid $500 for Premier Access, which means a couple inches more leg room.

The Boeing 777 has three rows of tree seats. Makes a total of nine seats across with two isles.

As I found my seat, I noticed an older gentleman using all three seats as a bed. The stewardesses favored him by giving him blankets for his 3-seat bed. He may have even paid someone to find another seat. I thought "What a great idea".

You will now see what happened to me on my Daytime return flight (no sleep).
See next post.
P.S.
I was close to one engine. I was worried about sitting too close to the WC but engine noise overcame all other noise. I highly recommend ear protection or noise cancelling headphones.

9PM Snack Again.jpg

[HKS]

Another 9PM snack (Pretzels were already being devoured) on the eve of my departure at my friends fathers and mothers house at the the country, a farm family.

I went to bed at 10PM and woke up a 2:30AM. Then you add many hours of daytime travel time to Chicago, including a 4 hour layover on my way to Lincoln NE. I arrived in Lincoln. Sleep at 11PM or later.

Breakfast and Dinner in Ingolstsdt. healthy Breakfast and a genuine Bohemian Dinner. Cabbage, pork and beef in gravy and dumplings sliced with a string. Dumplings are a lot more work than just boiled potatoes. Tastes much better than it looks.

Almost finished. Don't go away yet.

ManchingMade-In-America-crew.jpg

[HKS]

Manching: Airbus Defence and Space installation and Messerchmitt Museum.

Made in USA: Picture of crew that built 5 ME262s. One of which is in this high security airbase in Manching.
Due to security, the Museum is open one Friday afternoon per month.
I got the new curator of the museum to bring me one of the last limited edition ME262 baseball caps.
While there I saw American and German pilots checking in at the gate.

Fantastic fish diner on a boat in the Danube Canal.

[HKS]

Györ Hungary near a Danube tributary or canal. Lots of water needed for a big city and heavy industry.

The plate with the green cheese souse wins best of all plates shown in this post and all earlier posts. The meat was beef plus my friend shared a portion of lamb which was unbelievable.

The trout shown was great but not with French Fries. Too greasy.

I think you might mean Dorothy...Alice dropped through a rabbit's hole (and then there's the whole "funny mushrooms" part of the story), but then again, she wasn't in "Kansas" anymore either, after that!

You're right, my memory is aging faster than I am, or just as fast. Thanks Jim.
