Europe Quis ( Friday March 27 )
 

Good Morning :) Europe , Good Night North Amercia. I-)

5 questions only:

1. I am thinking of a place that has, a Black Tower, a White Tower, a Black Church, a street that is 44 inches wide., and a mountain beside the town named after a city in Florida.

What is the name of this town. ?
What is the name of the 44 inches wide street. ?
What is the name of the mountain.?

2. This place in Bulgaria has lovely rock formations that tourist visit yearly.
There is a fortress here, built when this part of Bulgaria was part of the Roman Empire.
The rock formations were a natural protection, so the fortress was built here.

What is the name of this place.?

3. Along the Danube River there is a passage with high rock walls between Romania and Bulgaria.
What is the name of this passage.?

4. In Belgrade there is a Cathedral called St. Michaels.
In 1823 a fellow built a café by the church and called it Cathedral café.
The church objected and the council told the fellow to change the name of the café.
He did not know what to call the café.

What did he eventually call the café.?

5. I am thinking of a place ( capital of the country) that has it's lower town and upper town connected by streets name after a leg.! One is short, the other is long.!

What place is this in Eastern Europe.?

5. could be Tallinn?

I have no clue about any of these questions.

3. Iron Gate.

thursdaysd... yes the Iron Gate.!!

Sorry flpab . try again.

I'm struggling to find the place "Florida" which is the source of the name of this Estonian mountain...

biboburger
The mountain in this town is not in Estonia.

The mountain has a name of a popular city in Florida in the USA

C'mon thursdaysd I know you can do one more for sure....:)

What !!!!!
are they that tough !

I recognize the description of the Bulgarian castle, but I can't remember the name, something long beginning with "B", I think. And I probably drank in that Belgrade cafe, but...Actually, I sort of remember it AS Cathedral Cafe.

1. Brasov / Romania, String Street, Tampa

thursdaysd I expect you to get #1 .

I had lunch at #4... because of it's name.

The cafe is right by St. Michael's Cathedral..
it used to be called the Cathedral Cafe...but not since 1823 !!


#2. anyone that cruises or drives along the Danube in goes to this rock formation place and fortress and town.

#2 should read cruises or drives the Danube in Bulgaria goes to this rock formation.

# 5 - Budapest? Buda or Pest?

Yes #1is Brasov cowboy1968 got it.

PalenQ #5 has been answered it is Tallinn.

Just 2 & 4 left.
Good work so far.!! :)

I don't do cruises, and the railway doesn't go past that fortress, I just remember reading about it.

What did he eventually call the café.?>

Christ Cafe? Serving water that turns into wine - and then once drunk eventually back into water?

Okay here we go, # 2 is:


The rock formations and fortress ad the town are Belogradchick.

( enlarge picture #1 in row #1 and you will see that you go through the archway and then climb all the way up and if you are good enough you climb to the tops of the rocks.

I climbed to the top...superb views..but if you fall ( Gulp !!! ) )

thursdaysd:
Weren't you in Brasov recently, I remember reading your trip report.

I know thursdaysd I read your trip report a few times.

BTW Percy - are you fully recovered? I remember that you had surgery during that TR.

The Romania leg was only the start of that trip. I still haven't blogged the rest (am busy planning the next trip) but it was another six countries.

Hi thursdaysd:
Recovery from the back surgery is slow and I do attend physio twice a week. I just hope by June I am better.

I am booking a trip for June so I better be better.

Whatever you do , don't get old.:)

Best wishes! My experience has been that really good physio can make a huge difference, but there is big difference between good physio and run of the mill physio.

I already am old, alas.

Where are you headed?

Spain and Portugal to places I have not bee before.

Lots of nice palaces in Portugal outside to major places.

don't take too much oxycoden as the English in your last post may suggest!

cheers and best wishes for a great trip to wherever in June!

I love Portugal! Look forward to hearing about it.

No oxycodone PalenQ.
just more errors typing on a smart phone at bedtime. :)

the irony - Tampa Mountain with a similar name to flat Tampa, FL with no mountains in sight - just Zephyr Hills - a large sand hill!

Been thru physical rehab twice due to serious injuries - you have my best wishes and look for the light at the end of the tunnel and that June trip!

Cheers!

Thanks PalenQ.
