Spain questions Hi Dave, how's it going?
my answers:
1. I think Generalife means Architect's garden
2. I'll take a wild guess at Carob tree
3. I think the Seat Marbella looks suspiciously like a Fiat Panda
more answers Hi Dave, happy new year. My answers this week (with a little help from wikipedia and google):
1. The movie that made St Tropez famous was "Le Gendarme de St Tropez"
2. Camargue is also famous for flamingos and bulls.
3. The bridges in Valencia go over dry riverbeds because the river was diverted around the city after serious flooding.
Mind you don't get your hand bitten off! Hi Dave,
Hope you're having a great time. Doing any ski-bumming over Winter?
That'll be the Bocca della Verità - did you come away with all of your fingers, or have you been telling porkies?
Ancient Italian tractors not my strongpoint though.
Dot sends her regards, have a good Christmas,

Bocca della verita Hi Dave, It looks like you have your hand in the mouth of truth. Legend has it if you are found guilty of lying when your hand is in the mouth it will be chopped off.
runnning through rimini Hi Dave, how's it going? I'm enjoying reading your blog, sounds like you're having a great time. I think the sport is duathlon, did you have a go?
Dodgy questions ;-) There mus be something wrong about your questions when I can't identify the breeds of cattle, but can tell you that the sporting event was the 2006 ITU Rimini European Duathlon Championships!
Meenah Dave is simply keeping his friends back home informed of his travels. If this means leaving out bits and adding some comedy value, then so be it. We're not really interested in why the castle is like that etc, just that Dave is ok and having a good time. So seeing as you are not one of Dave's friends from home and you don't know why he's travelling, then please keep your comments to yourself!
Sorry if I offend Hi Meenah, I do not wish to offend. I do know some of the history of all the places I visit, however, I complete this blog site to inform people who are intersted in tracking my journey (I suspected this would only be friends, but am obviously wrong). I write simply, and do desire to get into any cultural debates.
what are you talking about the question i would like to ask you is WHAT ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR< Are you traveling because you want to know a new culture, new people or do you want to find you home country in every other country as well? You have propably not been asking why the castle looks like this, about its history and so on...nor did you show interrest in other historical buildings in Bratislava, like the Gothic church Klarisky, or the Primacial Palais...well, however, you should have your eyes wide open, otherwise your travellling has no point at all
hi dave hi dave
great to hear you are 'doing the do' and are on your way south. steve r sent me your link (i was a blog virgin). don't forget to keep checking your coolant level and check the thermostatic switch on the electric fan works! (it might be worth fitting a manual overide switch for emergencies). enough of the banter i have to get back to my annual course reports!!!! f*^K.
take care.

Cock Fighting Glad to hear all is going well. We have been cock fighting over here as well. Steph threw shampoo over the one next door and it almost got hit by a car. Any continental tips you've picked up that may help?
Best Wishes It appears that you are indeed finally on your way. I hope the trip becomes everything that you've been hoping for. Best Wishes, see you soon.
