THE TECHNICAL MUSEUM AT SPEYER

Today while Nonnie visited Heidleberg I left the cruise, caught a train to Speyer, and visited the Technical Museum in Speyer, Germany.  The have a real Russian space shuttle, the original training landing craft for Apollo 11, a moon rock, about 75 airplanes, 4 locomotives, fire engines and lots and lots of cars.  All you car guys would love this place.  Nonnie was concerned about me taking the train away from the cruise, but our ship ended the day in Speyer, where I had been all day at the museum.  Here are a few pictures

This thing is huge.  Look at the Mercedes parked under it.
