FLYPAST – MAINAU AIRSHOW

Shot taken on day 7 of our Black Forest vacation – 2st July 2015

Geese on the move along Lake Geneve close to Mainau Island.

Joke: A plane took off from Luqa Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number ‘x’, from Luqa to Manchester. The weather ahead is good and therefore we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax -- OH MY GOD!" Silence followed and after a few minutes, the Captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm so sorry if I scared you earlier, but while I was talking, the flight attendant brought me a cup of coffee and spilt it in my lap. You should see the front of my pants! A passenger in Coach said, "That's nothing, he should see the back of mine!"
Thank you very much for looking and for the lovely comments and the fav's on yesterday's picture.
