Boingo:
Nafplio Greece outer promenade.

  ;D

  Nafplion: The Bourtzi Castle






fwiw

banzai:


I found 1 blue bridge in the canal. Maybe that's the one ???

puddin:
Do you think some teams went to the wrong bridge banzai  :lol: ?

  Directions: On Metro Line A, get off either at Spagna or Barberini and walk to the Trevi Fountain.
Line A

Cipro Station:  This station is very close to the Vatican Museums, a couple of blocks closer
           than Ottaviano Station.

Ottaviano Station:  You can walk to the Vatican Museums and St. Peter's from
           here very easily (about four blocks).  See my Vatican area map.

Flaminio Station:  This station brings you out at Piazzale Flaminio.  If you walk back through the
           Aurelian Wall, you are in Piazza del Popolo.  Santa Maria del Popolo is to your right and
           across the piazza are the 'twin' churches.

Spagna Station:  This one should be obvious.  This lets you off at Piazza di Spagna and the heart
           of the designer district.  This station is particularly long because going to the other exit puts
           you on the Via Veneto in the expensive posh part of Rome near Villa Borghese.

Barberini Station:  This is also obvious because here you are at Piazza Barberini.  Nearby sites
           include the American Embassy (on Via Veneto), Palazzo Barberini, Planet Hollywood,
           the downtown airline offices (up Via Barberini), and the macabre Santa Maria della
           Concezione (right at the beginning Via Veneto) which contain four chapels in the Capuchin
           portion beneath decorated with the bones of some 4,000 friars -- a must see in my
           opinion.  It sounds gruesome, but it is amazing.  Check out my Churches and Basilicas
           section for pictures of this remarkable set of chapels.  This Metro station is also not far
           from the Presidential Palace, which is open for free tours to the public every second and
           fourth Sunday of the month.

Repubblica Station:  This station brings you out at Piazza della Repubblica and is near Termini
           Stazione and is close to the Museo Nazionale Romana and Santa Maria degli Angeli.

Termini Station:  This station brings you to Termini Stazione.  It is also where Lines A and B
           cross.  You are not far from Santa Maria degli Angeli, and Santa Maria Maggiore.

San Giovanni Station:  This is as far as I have gone on the subway.  There are only three
           must-see sites this far out in my estimation:  San Giovanni in Laterano (the Cathedral
           of Rome); Scala Santa (the Sacred Steps); and Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, which
           holds the relics of the cross Jesus was crucified on.

This Line continues with the final stop quite a ways out at Anagnina.

Underground
Rome's underground system is made up of two separate lines that intersect at Termini, the main train station. Both lines run from 5:30 am to 11.30 p.m., with a frequency of 5 minutes.
Line A - Links the area of Cinecittą-Quadraro in the south-east of the city with Termini rail station, the historic centre of Rome and the area of Prati to the west.

another blue bridge

  I think Mojo went to the wrong one so the cameraman pans over to the bungee area
