Landmarks!!

[fifitrix]

I don't really pass any landmarks at all but do on a an almost daily basis pass Burns cottage, which is the bithplace of Rabbie Burns, a famous Scottish poet. There are always lots of tourists there and at the moment there is a guy who dresses like Rabbie Burns that takes tourists on tours of Burns country.

It's funny how you seem to take for granted what is on your own doorstep.

We are about a mile away from Highgrove House - home to Prince Charles & Camilla. Gatcombe Park, where Princess Anne lives is 3 miles away.

We haven't had any royals in for a mani yet - they don't know what they're missing! I will have to leaflet drop them!

I've found a video on YouTube of some of the sights in Valencia, also added some pics that we've taken.

Listening to the landmarks you pass was fab, as were the others... unfortunately (or fortunately due to traffic in rush hour lol) I don't pass these landmarks every day but they still take my breath away when I see them, especially up close!

Great thread

YouTube - Valencia, the city where I live

No real "historic" landmarks in the village but from my front terrace I can see across to Montana Roja (Red Mountain - fortunately the nudist beach is the "other side" from us!!) and from the side terrace we can see Mount Teide (Volcano)...

Hi Izzi!

Great thread!

My salon is at the historic site "Bryggen in Bergen". Bryggen is on the UNESCO list of world cultural heritage sites. You can have a view here:

My salon is places in one of the houses in the middle. My clients love to sit near the window an have a look at all the tourists.

Only 200 meters to go I have Bergenhus fortress with Rosenkrantztower and Haakonshall, some great old buildings.

Just behind my salon I have an old chrurch, "Mariachurch"

Unfortunately the last link is only in Norwegian, but the church is the oldest building in Bergen.

OK, I think that was all from Bergen today!
