Lenny's off again Germany, then wherever

[Stealaway]

The weather has been brilliant up until this weekend when it suddenly got perishing we had to switch the heating on.
(LPG is over 1€ a litre here- 0.70€ in France and Belgium but diesel is a tad cheaper)
Brilliant sun and temperature in the mid 20's except for an horrendous storm one night that even shook the van sideways.

 

[Orion]

Go East young man.

Lots of it barely untouched since the war.
We've been here for the last ten days.
We've been to the Simpson / MZ motorcycle museum.

Then you might be interested in ‘Missile from the East’, the film about Ernst Degner’s defection to the West and collaboration with Suzuki to give them their first World Championship.

Well bloody hell. I've just downloaded it and watched it last as week.
Excellent film even my wife enjoyed it.

I take it the MZ museum is worth a visit then?

There are two museums.
The Simpson one with a few MZ and the MZ museum with a few Simpson (and DKW) both certainly worth a visit.

When I was trucking on the continent, many years ago, there was a sign like that, banning road tankers on certain ferries?

Means “Pollutant Prohibition”

Very eco-friendly in DE. For example, you can’t wash your car on the street, have to use a car wash

Is the food that bad in Germany, we were thinking of doing the black forest in the van ,but we do love going out for some good snap

The gateaux is very good there

We've been here for the last ten days.
We've been to the Simpson / MZ motorcycle museum. We've been on a zoo safari and spent a good hour looking around a pre war machine shop and forge ( bargain at 3€ each)

Today could be the old Wartburg factory in Eisenach.

Done the East a few times, the Audi museme is good never seen so many Travants.

Very similar, but these are the modern non-binary version

 

[Roby2008]

Naughty

He is quite safe, there are endless documentaries about the war on tv here, it gets boring, they will be glad to talk about it ....... just don´t do the salute, it´s illegal, apart from that ......................

 

[Lenny HB]

We Wandered into the town today Steinau an der Straße, if you had forgotten.

Over the stream we found the dunking cage for criminals.

Then up the road one of the old city gate towers.

Then walking around the corner we found we were somewhere famous.

The brothers Grimm house, the Grimm brothers father was the local Ballife (Magistrate) and the house doubled as a courtroom.

The Grimm brothers

Self portrait of Lugwig Emil Grimm.

 

[Lenny HB]

The lady at the museum was great she spent nearly half an hour chatting to us telling us about the house and the town and where we could get good local food.

A few shots of the town.

 

[Lenny HB]

Look no Schnitzels, pork & beef meatballs with potatoes in a leek sauce, only one problem they didn't serve alcohol.
