Travellers Tales

I've been off on my travels for a little while. Yesteday, something I'd been looking forward to for a long time. Got a chance to look around a real, live Concorde. My dad-in-law is one of the guides on tours around the plane and he sorted out a visit for us whilst we were in Bristol. I took a lot (and I mean a lot) of photographs. Here are a couple of the better ones:

Then, in the afternoon, we went over to the American Museum in Bath. This is an amazing place, set in an english country house. Inside the house the have reconstructed a bunch of american lifestyles, from prarie homestead onwards. Very interesting. Outside the grounds are beautiful (and they have a covered wagon and teepee). Again, I took a bunch of pictures:

Then in the house in all its glory.

I saw Concorde last year when me and my parents were on holiday in Edinburgh. Unfortunately it wasn't exactly in one piece at the time as it had only recently been delivered there. It was a shame, but there was enough to show you how great a plane it was.

The second Concorde shot was gorgeous, the pointed nose piercing into the blue sky.
