More work intervening in things this weekend but I managed to get out on Saturday to the Botanical Gardens. Quite nice but not such a "riot" of autumnal colours a I was hoping for, and its location is now dominated on one side by what looks like an electricity generation station.
The route back towards home took me past the military museum which was far bigger than I'd anticipated.
Items here date from the very earliest finds and includes some magnificent Dacian "ceremonial" armour.
The rest of the museum is the "usual" assortment of weapons through the ages, but with quite a large collection of uniforms from 18th Century onwards.
Behind the main museum building is a "graveyard" of artillery and rockets from the WWII period onwards, and in a separate building various aircraft from the early days of flight up 
to a fairly modern military helicopter and fighter.
The most interesting exhibit though is a Soyuz capsule with (not surprisingly) very little space inside the spaceship!
Sunday meant more work but the weather was poor anyway, and then off to see the Liverpool v Arsenal game on Sky followed by a trip to the curry house.
One more weekend before the trip home - not too confident on it being good weather though!
