This is intriguing

Even for a veteran flier like me, this is a bit strange…

You see that British Airways plane next door? Well, I am sitting in a BA plane too. We are both headed to Heathrow from Prague. Our scheduled departure time is exactly the same. And we reach at the same time!! When I was booking my flight, I noticed the same. I had figured something was amiss.

Not really.

I asked the person at the gate. He confirmed that two different BA equipments are scheduled to fly exactly at the same time the exact same route!

This is inexplicable to me!

A crazy trivia

You see all those steep rocks? They look like menhirs from Asterix and Obelix. All of them have a small box on the top. Inside it is a notebook and pen.

Believe it or not, there are folks who actually scale those vertical edges. And when you get to the top, you open the box and sign your name there!!

I think I am going to pass on that one!

View thru the porthole

Thru the small crack in the rocks, you can see the river, the greenlands and a fast train (red color) speeding by. If you notice the hole in the rock – it was used to anchor in the wood beams that was used to make the original bridge. The wooden bridge got destroyed and was replaced with a rockstone one.
