It was a bit of a shock...

... while standing outside the ancient cathedral in the centre of Speyer, when we looked up a street to our right and noticed an aircraft sticking out of the trees.


Our guide explained it is a feature of a large technological museum complex.


Within minutes, a second encounter with a flying thing involved Gary being stung by a wasp, which, together with the continuing intense heat, persuaded us to return to the shade of the ship for the rest of a lazy day.
