Travel Trivia Thursday
Posted by Hans Ericsson | Under Destination Spotlight Thursday Oct 23, 2008Congratulations Patty! You had the correct answer to last weeks Travel Trivia. Robert the Bruce allegedly brought the Blarney Stone over to Ireland from Scotland. And yes Patty, my pumpkin gabs with the best of them over pints of ale! Now, on to this weeks photo.
The building with the large tower in this photo has over 400 rooms.
Q. What city was this photo taken in, and what is the name of the building?
Bonus: What are the towers in the background with the green tops?
Good luck to everyone!

Das ist der Rathaus in Munchen mit die Frauenkirchen hinter.
It’s the Neues Rathaus taken from the Marienplatz in Munich with the Fraunkirche in the background.
The city is Munich, the tower is the Glockenspiel Clock tower and…drum roll please…the bonus is the bell towers of the Frauenkirche one of Munich’s most famous churhces!
You think I would have forgotten after all the Erdinger I drank there…
so did the people at Blarney nickname it the jackolatern? or is there another name for it?
The name Jack O’Lantern has several mythological roots, many of them coming from Ireland.
That is Glockenspiel Clock Tower in Munich.
