Marlowe’s Challenge – eine Herausforderung für die ganze Familie

Entweder waren meine Augen zu groß, oder ich habe meinen Appetit falsch eingeschätzt als ich bei Marlowe’s in Canterbury das Dessert von der Tageskarte ausgesucht habe.

„Marlow’s Challenge“ – so hieß der Nachtisch aus Vanille- und Schokoladeneis mit Maltesers, Rosinen umhüllt von Schokolade, Marshmallows, Schlagsahne, heiße Fudgesoße und Schokoladen „Flakes“.

Das Monsterdessert wurde in einem Glas serviert, so groß wie ein Blumentopf.

Lecker war’s. Und zum Glück hatte ich noch 3 Helfer, um mit mir alles aufzuessen. Zusammen haben wir die Herausforderung gemeistert!

A day at the VGF Zentralwerkstatt in Frankfurt

Last Sunday was a day that I had been looking forward to for a long time.  I first discovered the “Zentralwerkstatt” – the central maintenance depot – in Frankfurt some years ago by chance.

I was curious as to where the lines went past the end of the last U-Bahn station, as they followed the road and suddenly disappeared behind a set of iron gates. Google Maps provided the answer – behind those gates lies the depot where the trams and the U-Bahn trains go in Frankfurt when they need servicing or repairing.  There is even a 800m long running track to test them on.

So when I read about an open day I grabbed the chance to visit the site and take a look around.
