Dim Sum in Heathrow; so far so normal.

Cranes in Amsterdam; mechanical machines always distract Dave.

Boats? Dave; where are you going?

Dave; why are we waving goodbye to the lights of Amsterdam?

The Helsinki skyline; famous landmarks…

…are not visible from the balcony of the hotel.

The pretty island in the harbour is hidden by a cruise ship.

An old building; Stuart id now cold…

…frozen Mojito’s are the solution!

Dave and Jorge have a new best friend.

It smells nicer and eats a lot less!

A very retro lobby, maybe Stuart should decorate his underground lair in 60’s style to be like all his favourite Bond villains.

The train station. That’s about it for sightseeing.

Not the game; a real one!

It’s French therefore it should be Le Minesweeper.

Today Dave is visiting the Impounding Station at the West India Docks.
They call the control “The Frog” because the dials look a big like the eyes on a frog.

Big electric motors turn pumps to move water from The River Thames into the dock to maintain the water level in the dock.

This is the impeller that sits at the heart of the pump; this is an old one that was removed after eighty years although it’s still servicable.

Here’s all the water being pumped through to top up the water levels in the dock.

All the tours of waste transfer station were full so Dave made do with playing on the digger. Maybe next year…

Open House; Dave is first in the queue,
Dave likes the library.

Off to Senate House; Dave gets to rule the Senate chamber.

Peek-a-boo

This place is one big library!

It’s a long way down!

Stuart tried an eyepatch…

…and fell out the boat.
