Booked to go Prague in june. 2 nights there, then i thought road trip. Have a look round Austria, hungry, Slovakia.
Anybody got any ideas. Going with a mate
Depending where your path takes you, the two german museums I'd rate as unmissable:

Mostly auto and aircraft plus some military
Only place I know of you can see a Concord and a Tupolov Tu-144 (the Concordsky)
This place is big - allow a full day.
There is also a sister Museum for all the things that wouldn't fit in the original (like a 747, space shuttle, naval sub etc)
speyer.technik-museum.de/en/

then there is the munich technical museum

For my 50th Birthday I trekked from Nepal to Tibet then trekked around the sacred Buddhist mountain, Mount Kailash, before trekking up to advanced Base Camp on Everest (on the chinese) side. It was a 28 day trek in total. We also got held hostage by the Maoist rebels in Nepal just before crossing the border and had to pay a ransom to get released. You only live once and 'do it' is my motto; and as I get older (now nearly 70) I realise how these adventures are a big part of experiencing life to it's fullest.

Might aswell head to Poland while there, I’m going to Poznań from the 16-18 June
I think we stopped there with the humanitarian aid convoy to Belarus many years ago.
1 chap broke down and the Renault dealership let them sleep on the floor while they fixed it. He said it was great, next door to a hore house 😂

Any recommendations? Places to visit it good clubs etc?
It was my workmates wife’s university town. I will ask him to ask her and come back to you. We done a tour of the church and town square. The people were very friendly. I seem to remember there was a brewery in the town square where you could sample several different beers. Everyone was very friendly

I’ll see what recommendations I can get. We stayed above a night club. There was another night club in the square which was nice but we didn’t stay long as the local lads were not keen on us being there. The bars were much nicer and more friendly to incomers in my experience.

I've been there and will never forget it, it is fantastic.
I'm from Leeds, the first thing we see when we walk in? A traction engine, made in Leeds 😅
I've got loads of pics somewhere. We made some mistake of buying separate tickets instead of a dual deal or whatever and only realised when we went in, We explained the mistake at the entrance desk, got a refund and a smile, no issues. If that was the UK it would have been 'Sorry we can't reverse it or refund' or something. Found ze Chermans to be lovely people.

Anyone mentioned the irony of a digger driver having a bucket list yet? :ROFLMAO:
