Title: Gmans travel photos
Post by: puddin on January 12, 2009, 05:58:59 PM

I've been thinking that the photos Gman shared with us deserve their own thread and seeing that today is Gmans B-Day I thought .. no time like the present.

And while I'm here, Happy Birthday Gman!  :partie: :hbday: :party: :wine:

:barline

These photos are thanks to Gman from his trip in December  :yess:

Pix from my last trip to Salzburg in December.

  Brasov is the most central small city in
Transylvania, and a good base to go to Bran's Castle, Peles Castle and
other places in the area.

Some pix that people may be interested in.  Unfortunately just when we
arrived in Kleine Scheidegg (the gateway to the Eiger and Jungfrau
mountains, the fog rolled in!)

The cog railway runs from Lauterbrunnen up to Kleine Scheidegg where you
can get another cog railway up to the summit of the Jungfrau (actually
you end up inside the mountain and you take an elevator up )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, G-MAN!!!

Capricorns Rock!!

And the pictures are fabulous! I just know we'll be seeing some of those exact places on this season's TAR, so many thanks for sharing with us!  :hearts:

Happy Birthday, GMAN. May you have many more!

I want to also address one picture, that of the People's Palace in Bucharest. I have already said this in a prior post, but it is worth saying again. That photo is taken from a good distance from the building. It is the second largest building in the world after the Pentagon. I took a 75 minute tour of it and the marble inside is spectacular. I believe that AR14 will visit there on return from Brasov before teams fly out of Bucharest. Since it isn't open in the middle of the night when the teams arrive from Salzburg, it is very unlikely that it would be visited before the night trains leave for Brasov.
