Advertisement Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Hi vertekijker, Take a look here "Do you know the world ?" -- Competition --. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
doubice Posted April 26, 2010 Share #4182 Posted April 26, 2010 Frans, My 'detective skills' are nothing compared to yours! But - thanks for the compliment! Next challenge - I will need the name of the city and the building with the tower. For extra points - I will treat you to a beer of your choice when and if we meet - name the bust on the pedestal!

Guest suilvenman Posted April 26, 2010 Share #4185 Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) Some day we'll drink a Staropramen ( or Budweiser - the real one) to Vit̆ezslav. Cheers, Ken. Edited April 26, 2010 by suilvenman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubice Posted April 26, 2010 Share #4188 Posted April 26, 2010 Sorry - not Germany, nor Brussels. Ken seems to be on the money with his usual allegorical response. Since you recognized the poet, you obvously know the city and the building...... Please confirm slightly less allegorically and we'll be off to the next stage of this fun game. I have to ask - how did you find Vítězslav? Best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suilvenman Posted April 26, 2010 Share #4189 Posted April 26, 2010 About five or six years ago, we stopped at the nearby locally famous beer bar and then went on to this area so I recognised the buildings in your photo. I did not pick up on the statue at the time so I had to google using the locality's name. I've had a few photos in recently so I'll let this one go on. Cheers, Ken.

Ken, Since you were the only one who guessed the correct location, I think that you deserve a go with the next posting. As to whether I'll be buying you Staropramen or Budvar - there are so many excellent breweries there that it really does not matter..... The famous beer bar around the corner also serves a wonderful roasted and smoked pork hock..... To die for.... For everybody's information - city is Prague, building is the New Townhall located on Charles Square. The statue is of a Czech poet and journalist who lived in the second half of the 19th century - Vítězslav Hálek. Ken, your turn. Best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suilvenman Posted April 27, 2010 Share #4191 Posted April 27, 2010 You're right about the beer, Jan; the one at U Fleku was particularly nice. Prague is a truly beautiful, interesting city. Right, here's the next one. What's the name of this feature behind the statue and where would you find it? Cheers, Ken. Welcome, dear visitor!

doubice Posted April 28, 2010 Share #4192 Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) Hmmmm.. I did not come back to this page for a while and I should have.... This wouldn't be the dripstone wall (krápníková stěna) in the Wallenstein Garden (Valdštejnská zahrada) by any chance, would it?.....

doubice Posted April 29, 2010 Share #4195 Posted April 29, 2010 Thanks, Ken. I have just returned from Prague and the memories are still fresh.... The fact that I was born there also helps somewhat.... For the next puzzle - I will need the exact location please; country and place. Good luck, Jan Welcome, dear visitor!

bartohomar Posted April 29, 2010 Share #4200 Posted April 29, 2010 Jan There was a good clue in your picture, in the middle left of it.(Place St Bernard). Google did the rest. My proposal is a place not too difficult to locate, especially for lovers of nature reserves. I ask the name of the park and the name of the rock formation that appears in the picture. Good luck Barto Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
