Mange Tout, Boyce, Mange Tout. Saturday, November 05, 2005

Just back from three days on a training course in Germany, where I spent most of the time hidden away from the daylight messing about with a film scanner.

Being just oustside of Frankfurt meant I managed to get away long enough to get a brief look at the strangely American looking Darmstadt, with it's block like layout and sterile street life, and the much more interesing and traditional town of Mainz.

To top it off, I was unfortunate enough to be booked on to the 10:25pm return flight to Heathrow on a Friday night with non-transferable tickets. This crappy flight was improved imeasurably by the fact that landing around 11pm U.K. time meant that I got back just in time to see dozens of separate firework displays from the air over the whole of the city.

Photos from Darmstadt/Mainz now up.
