Cheers for that mushroomman, the thing is that I always give clues WITH the photo. :sunglasses:
(:lol: :grimacing:Cos I’m not a tight git. :grimacing: :laughing: )

Have to say that it looks like you’ve got me there mate, cos I don’t recognise it. :frowning:
It might be from the easy box, but I’ll tell you whether I’ve been there once you publish the answer.
BTW, is that a DOW freight (Stockport) tractor pulling the trailer??

ostende

Not that I have ever been there but im guessing…the end of the old Bosphorous River bridge heading East!! :open_mouth: :laughing:

Dave,
sorry for being a tight git, ( I had to use my magnifying glass to read the small print ).If you haven’t got it yet then you might not of been here. :cry:
Yes, that is a Dow Freight (Stockport ) tractor pulling a Dow Freight trailer. :astonished:
So for you Dave, as I have got my magnifying glass out here is,

CLUE 4. Some people around here could be blind :wink:

CLUE 5. Its a European city. :wink:

CLUE 6. This bridge could of been built by some Romans. :wink:

There is 1 point, for the name of the city .

There is 1 point, for the area where the bridge is.

O.K. to show that I am not really a tight git, you can have a Brownie point if you can name the country. :smiley:

If you can get all 3 points you could win a meal at one of my favorite eating places. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

ostende

Sorry Brit Pete, a good try but its not Ostende :cry: , may be the extra new clues might put you a bit nearer. :smiley:
Have another go. Have another go. :slight_smile:

Hi ya Bullitt, :smiley:
Nooooo, its not the Bosphorous Bridge, you might struggle to get a super tanker under here. :unamused:
I know you are very good at working out my clues :slight_smile:
but please dont let me have to use clue seven as its so corny. :blush:

Here we go then,

CLUE 7. Some of the women here have Gondoliers :cry: , but its O. K. as it’s not a ■■■■■■ transmitted disease. :smiley: .

CLUE 8. The police diving team must be searching the bottom of the canal now for clues. :wink:

CLUE 9. See jacko 22 post, Messing about on the water, on page 2 of the
TRANSPORT PHOTO FORUM dated April 22.

CLUE 10. If all else fails try my answer to Where were we, posted by jacko 22
on May 11. ( Which I got wrong). :blush:

Venice

Bravo Driver-Once-More. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Many years ago, if you were delivering to the centre of Venice, you had to park up at a massive car park just outside Venice, called Tronchetto, where the goods were loaded onto a barge.

I think that you can claim the prize, so if you make your way over to my trailer box, how does Spaghetti and chips sound. :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

:smiley: Hi mushroomman, I did loads of Italy, but never did Venice, so didn’t recognise the bridge. :frowning:

Hi Dave,
I thought when you didn’t get this one straight away, this might be harder than I thought it was. I was very surprised that jacko 22 didn’t jump in with both feet. :laughing:
We are going to Venice next month, so if I get the chance I shall try and take another photo of the bridge.

Also, yesterday we heard from the travel agents where we are staying in Rome and the address is, Via Stazione :astonished:. So if we get the time I shall go round to Porta Maggiore and see if the builders have finished yet. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Hi ya Mushroom man! The last time I went to Tronchetto about 4 years ago was to catch the ferry to the Lido! On our Messing about on the water trip the barges go from near the oil terminals on the mainland at Marghera about 6 ks from Venice! I’m not sure if they still off load trucks at Tronchetto any more!
It does seem to be a popular venue again, there should be a truck there today loading in and he’s also using the Marghera barge!

jacko, I am presuming that the tour buses still park and offload at Tronchetto ?. :confused:
I shall be on the lookout for Fielding trucks if you are there on the 21st June, if they still sell Cornettos it’s my shout. :laughing:

Hi mushroomman, yea, that’d be good. :smiley:

:grimacing: While you’re there, you can also check progress on the multi-story car park that also wasn’t finished last time I was there. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Cheers mate, have a nice trip. :smiley:

The coach park was busy as we sailed by last month so go for it Mushroomman!
Sod the cornetto though! get us a vecchia instead! :laughing:
