Sorry, Kevin. The title did not give it away and I wanted to remove possible confusions with the Crossing the Danube Cross.

No problem, <img src="http://gmic.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/beer.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="beer.gif" /> maybe I should have filled in all the detail first,

I was busy resizing the pictures between packing my stuff

for a visit to Bucharest for the Irish Embassy St. Patrick's function

tomorrow evening in the Romanian National Art Museum.

On the 18th I hope to spend the day at the Romanian Military Museum. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/beer.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="beer.gif" />

That is the former royal palace. I wonder whether the old official rooms have been restored to their original condition.

On the 18th I hope to spend the day at the Romanian Military Museum.

Good luck!

Hallo Carol I

many thanks for the corrections,

the perils of a felt-tip pen and a very rainy day in Bucharest

resulted in my notes being somewhat damp and hard to decipher.

I can easily imagine the confusions. :beer:

While at the Museum I purchased this book:-

about the building of the forts and defenses around Bucharest prior to WW1.
