Less than 7 days now before I head out for a European adventure.
This trip will really be an adventure unlike the previous trips and
tours I've done.
For the first time only the first day (next Thursday) is really
planned.
After arriving at the Amsterdam airport, we'll go visit the Juffer
family and see their excellent collection.
This has pretty much become a tradition with me as the Juffer's have
been the first stop I make the past 11 years.
After the Juffer's we'll head to Germany to visit another friend
that Harry and I have visited several times.
We met this guy on our first engine trip to Germany and dropped in
unexpectantly on him. I had a German engine book with a photo of the
guy, his name and the town he lived in. We were passing near his
town so made a detour to find him. Stopped a person on the street,
showed them the picture of the guy and they knew where he lives!
The next part is where the real adventure starts! We go to the Czech
Republic for 4 days and meet a guy I've been exchanging emails with
for the past year. This is a great unknown as Zdenek doesn't speak
any English, although he does some German. His emails can be
confusing since he runs all of them through a translating program.
He does appear to know a lot of collectors in CZ and has said he has
25 locations for us to visit!
After we leave the Czech Republic we'll wander around for a few days
and try to visit some more collections before returning to Harry's
home on the Thursday before the Nuenen show. Load up for the Nuenen
show on Friday morning and go to the show.
The show should be a great one this year as I know that a lot of
people (many on this list) will also be there. With slidevalve
engines being featured this should be a historic show.
