Episode 1 - Grindavik, Iceland

Very cool online map. You can find Seljalandsfoss waterfall and Vatnajokull glacier easily on this map. I find it incredibly humorous that people got lost using highway 1. It’s the only major road across southern Iceland.

http://www4.vegagerdin.is/thjonustukort/Grunnur.html?lang=eng

You have to scroll down to find Seljalandsfoss, pretty cool Iceland has so many waterfalls!

http://www.republika.pl/waterfalls/islandia/islandia.htm

Vatnajokull map from a tour company:

And last, The Blue Lagoon in Grindavik. This is such an awesome place.

Episode 2 – Voss, Norway

Maps of Norway:

You can see Voss here.
http://www.sitesatlas.com/Europe/Norway/mnorint.htm
Couldn’t find a greate interactive map like Iceland but this one works.
You can find Oslo, and Foss… and then find E16 road.
Nesheimstunet village doesn’t show on this map.
Recommend you enlarge as you work through it.
LINK
Here’s another one… found it more difficult to navigate.

Holmenkollen Ski Jump Links
http://www.norway.com/directories/d_company.asp?lang=44&id=677&r=0
http://www.visitoslo.com/winter-Holmenkollen/
Very Cool

The Brandbu Viking Village… night stop
Okay this was very tough…
Unfortunately I can’t read this… but this has to be the place; check out the picture with the tent and the address at the bottom of the page
http://www.aktivioslo.no/kunder/raukr_viking/

ended up finding a better map.
Here is a link to Brandbu
http://www.multimap.com/wi/28871.htm
Voss can be found on that map page too but the link was too long.

Voss Panorama link:
http://www.svf.uib.no/sfu/nasa/img/Voss_180.jpg
Where is Voss:
http://www.ekstremsportveko.com/Info/maps.htm
Visit Voss:
http://www.visitvoss.no/
and I was trying to find the Pit stop… it was very close to Voss… using the map I found this through a link for Nesheim, Norway.
http://www.multimap.com/wi/75369.htm
This link has links to many places in Norway.

Once the map is displayed, click on the Central Stockholm white rectangle in the center. This
shows more detail.

Nordic Sea Hotel. – the hotel they received the clue to go slide the shot glasses. Lots of links for this place.
http://www.nordichotels.se/doc.open.asp?DocID=52&StructID=2
The hotel is on the second map above at about 10 o’clock from the center. Right below a red dot. This link is from the map. Couldn’t find the Chapman ship on this map.

http://www.ikea-group.ikea.com/corporate/index.html
enough of this…

http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.phpURL_ID=9706&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html
curious, this link works in the browser but not from this page.
and a new Goree Island link
http://www.congo-pages.org/senegal/Goree.htm

Looking for maps…
WorldAtlas.com is interesting
http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/europe/de.htm
http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/europe/lgcolor/decolor.htm
from lonely planet
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/mapshells/europe/berlin/berlin.htm

Even better
http://www.dailysoft.com/berlinwall/maps/berlinwallmap_01.htm
15th anniversary news story on the wall falling

lots of good links at the bottom, hard not to find Berlin Wall pictures.

on to the Memorial Church on the Kurfürstendamm which is also named the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, this includes a picture before the damage
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiser_Wilhelm_Memorial_Church
A travelers site with several pictures of the church and the sculpture
http://www.jellesen.dk/webcrea/places/berlin/berlin.html

Just found this site… berlin-landmarks.com. It has the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin Wall,
The Memorial Church and more. Each one has a short note and a link to a map. Not the best but I thought I would include it.
http://www.berlin-landmarks.com/berlin_landmarks.html

This site is similar but with hotel info… and more background
http://www.der-berliner.com/berlin/berlin1.htm

Broken Chain Sculpture
Okay I don’t know who this guy is but he has taken some wonderful pictures of germany and Prague… its worth a look
http://frank.harvard.edu/~howard/photo/germany_sept03/#berlin
There were some sites above with more pictures of the sculpture.

Zitadelle
Could this be where they made bratwurst?
http://www.zitadelle-spandau.de/
This sure has pictures on it that look very familiar
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Thomas_Schreiber/zitadell.htm
Unfortunately I don’t know German…

Tuefelsberg
Hard to find anything of interest…Although Devils Mountain was used as a major spy installation during the Cold War… there is a little info here on this link, you need to scroll down.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/1313205.stm

Finally Brandenburg Gate
Excellent pictures
http://www.dailysoft.com/east-berlin/mitte/bgate.htm

http://www.ronaldreagan.com/sp_11.html
This is cool, 360 panorama at the gate.

http://www.malev.com/bp/eng/index.asp

And the trabbants… what can you say.
Offical site… well. It looks like a personal site, need to click some of the links. There are many pictures. But again, someone will have to translate for me.

From the same site there is a map of Eger, can’t find the castle but the rail station is marked.
http://www.diamond-congress.hu/ehrs/ghtml/map_of_eger.htm
but no pictures of the train station…

Back to Budapest and the Net Klub Internet Café.

Here is a list of cyber cafes in Budapest.

Episode 7 – Budapest, Hungary

In case you missed the net klub link, kudos to Spear for finding this for us.
http://www.net-klub.hu/index_en.html

http://www.museum.hu/search/museum_en.asp?id=76
Picture of the drasines?
http://www.museum.hu/search/event_en.asp?IDE=519&ID=76

I must say that searching for drasines provides many interesting links to trains and trolleys.
I decided not to list them.

Searching for Hajos Alfred Nemzeti sportuszoda you can go to virtualhungary.com for a list of baths and swimming pools.

The Gundel Restaurant. Pictures. One of them is the room with all the regurgitation.
http://traveltohungary.com/indexload.cgi?/english/services/restaura/lstrestaurant.php?id=7
Looks like they put them in the basement or the wine cellar. Not the same tables though.
http://www.gundel.hu/etterem/index.php?lang=en&mid=140
Actual Gundel website

Ethiopia
Let’s start with the cia factbook
http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/et.html
A very interesting site with news and other information about Ethiopia
http://www.cyberethiopia.com/
The EthiopiaDaily
http://www.ethiopiadaily.com/

Pictures of Ethiopia

Lalibela
Lalibela is a Saint.
http://www.gospelcom.net/dacb/stories/ethiopia/lalibela.html
Very nice pictures including the church
http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/people/alex/ethiopia.htm
This site contains historic information about Ethiopia and Lalibela
http://home.wanadoo.nl/spaansen/lalibela.htm

There are 12 rock churches in Ethiopia. This site contains pictures from 3. Third one appears to be the one from the race. There are other great pictures here too.
http://www.galenfrysinger.com/rock_church_ethiopia_2.htm
This link on the same site has many pictures of donkeys and huts.
http://www.galenfrysinger.com/tissisat_falls.htm

To get an idea of how remote Lalibela is…
http://www.fallingrain.com/world/ET/14/Lalibela.html

Funny, trying to find Lewz village, google has already indexed the cbs site. And that’s about all the references to it.

For those of you interested in Ethiopian Tours…

Episode 10 – Sigiriya, Sri Lanka

Started looking for the stadium in Addis, Ababa… found this site. Did you know that Addis Ababa means “New Flower”?
http://www.selamta.net/addis_ababa.htm
Georgraphy page of Addis, Ababa
