Churchill visits Lindt fatory, in Aachen ... and is recognized by the crowd


Leaving Aachen on our way to Bonn, we stopped at the Lindt chocolate factory. We thought we could visit it inside but no, the best we could do was to visit the shop. The prices were not that different from what we are used to so we just bought the usual (a lot 😉). Churchill could not enter the shop. Well, they don't know he does not like chocolate. He stayed outside, but always receiving the attention of the shoppers.

Deixando Aachen em nosso caminho para Bonn, paramos na fábrica de chocollates da Lindt. Nós pensamos que poderíamos visitá-la, mas não, o melhor que pudemos fazer foi visitar a loja. Os preços não eram tão diferentes do que estamos acostumados, então acabamos por comprar o de costume (muito 😉). Churchill não pôde entrar na loja. Bem, eles não sabem que ele não gosta de chocolate. Ele ficou lá fora, mas sempre recebendo a atenção dos compradores.

No final, eu gostei da refeição juntamente com a cerveja búlgara Zagorka.

We spent two weeks at the Geodetic Observatory (GO) Pecný, located in a hill 1.5 km near the village of OndÅ™ejov. OndÅ™ejov itself is about 1 hour by public transportation from Prague. A bucolic and picturesque place, located inside a forest. We stayed in a small cottage they have for visiting researchers and scholars. GO Pecný date back to the 1960's and their main activity was the determination of astronomical latitude, longitude and azimuth, evening operations. Later on, they started to perform satellite photography, also evening operations. Therefore, an infrastructure was necessary for the scientists and technicians to stay overnight. The main office building, built at that time, had offices each one with a bed, and every floor had a kitchen, bathroom and shower. Today, a similar way of working exists. The scientists, engineers and technicians may spend two or three days living in the office, doing the rest of the work in other places such as Prague, Plze ň ,  or even at t...
