I get the impression sometimes that Mr W views my work trips to Hamburg as one long jolly and my photos from the last two days may be doing nothing to dispel that myth.  Therefore in an effort to set the record straight, today's photo is submitted as Exhibit A in the case for proving that we do actually to some work on these trips.  The main meeting finished at lunchtime today, but before we can return home and put our feet up there are more meetings to prepare the follow-up action lists and minutes - it really is quite an intense week!

After our meeting today we got taken on a tour of the Hamburg Maritime Museum. It was created from one man's personal collection, including over 36,000 small scale ships models. Prior to being placed in this 9 floor museum he kept them in his three storey house - his wife must have the patience of a saint! Anyway this was my favourite exhibit - a Lego model of the Queen Mary 2. I was also slightly bemused by the pickled fish in jars but didn't really fancy taking a picture of them!

Today I am going to Hamburg for work and so I have had to endure the delights of the M25 to get to Heathrow T5. There have however been shopping opportunities to make up for those missed at Westfield last week :)
