Or got its close or yes it is what weve been coming for seventeen years here you know sure enough a good family slope the size does that mean easy or a bit of everything large easy and the. Combined weve often gone sledding on this big trail. Like that only and how was it good nice these are easier than skiing yeah. Sounds pretty great there is no way around it i am going to have to check out the fifty back slopes from a celtic.

Well im going to mentally prepare for my next task my very first time on crosscountry skis you guys get to hop over to cabinets and want to saxony is the biggest say days its just an hour by car away from where we are right now and definitely worth a visit. These are square is a good place to start exploring can mits few youll find the King Albert Museum with its Art CollectionSt Peters Church and the opera house. Like most of the buildings on the square St Peters Church was built in the Nineteenth Century with the gold crucifix on its tower its eighty two meters tall. By the early Twentieth Century with three hundred sixty thousand residents candidates became fully fledged city so the lakes gothic town hall has to be extended. In communist east germany kemet was called karl marx that its best known landmark is a reminder of that. The bust of karl marx nicknamed tanisha the head in saxon dialect weighs forty turns. Chemists has often been heavily damaged during its long history. So its lucky that the cusp back district one of germanys largest areas of the late Nineteenth Century and art nouveau buildings has survived intact. Clapham castle with its moat is also steeped in history built in around fifteen fifteen on the river version its it changed owners several times in communist east germany it was used as a juvenile detention center. The last stop on our trip to kenya its is this last that district here youll find some of the citys oldest buildings the town in the candidates valley was originally founded in the middle ages under the protection of a monastery. It was almost all of the first lets see the equipment fits properly we can check the length of the poles ok wonderful stay relaxed in the gloating over the Cross Country ski take some practice but its the infamous for a pair of my books my left foot but not my gut now were basically on the diagnosable vision that there was no. Way that we try the whole thing with skis. And what other goods you wouldnt he flew at least i have an expert here former competitive skier enrico frank in the group. Exclusive and its going to end now just push your foot forwards and when it clicks youre in and what do we have to move forward with you know the strike thats right now strike four with simple remark. Proof. Of. All of. This is that when it gets at us but as you see now well be going downhill slightly and thats it looks good and if it gets too slow for you shuffle forwards again. Its important to always keep smiling. When it comes already and you can also hold the poles on iraq and just glide was all that said but how can i break without falling if you give us the old we can really do with practice holding down say. The situation gets really dodgy only one thing helps a controlled form. And if i just let myself fall over and stretch out but should avoid needing to. Well i do what you will not in the trucks you spoil them try to stay in between this is hard work. And ration out. Your legs make a big v. The arms work the same as downhill well done. And thank you. Nicole ive enjoyed teaching you crosscountry skiing its been fun. Well i definitely underestimated how excited stating this would be so while i take a little break you guys get some time to meet a local not from here but from florida our viewer bob smith takes you on a tour of his hometown orlando. Orlando with growing through the years a mentally used to be a very small town laiki ola was the center of everything. When you live here this is a great place to come to walk around and just to get away from the hustle and bustle. And. One of the things when youre at lake eola is its always fun to feed the birds. Here we are in International Drive one of the main entertainment streets for tourists in central florida. You would be very hard pressed to be bored when you come to orlando if you cant find something thats fun to do youre not looking to have a good time. As you could see orlandos a little different a lot of things are upside down where the center of amusement and entertainment for the world. This is something im really excited to show you this is they are land a why were going to get the best view of orlando that you can get. This is really great. The higher we get you could really see how flat orlando is and how many lakes we really have more of a window is known for its legs and from the air land oh i can get babbelas of you of all. You.

Whole new world one of those rare places where you can actually have a real animal interactive. Poll just wonderful theyre very very smooth and of course they seem very gentle. Like.

Has been a great day i hope youve enjoyed the showing you orlando i really have enjoyed it and i hope to see you soon. The. Tourism is the economic motor of the ets give back and thats one reason theyre proud and nobody can tell that a former local boy is active here and meeting again despite still three time olympic champion in ski jumping after his career he went into the hotel business. Gets kind of meyer his old trophies in the display cases and another curiosity and i think there are no stamps with my face on them in germany i think you have to be dead before what happened since it was. Funny but theyre not i mean there. It got but theres one of mean. Theres a stamp in ghana although they have nothing to do when we went to school but at least locally to me today is a stamp. I know its not that long as you may know all over the world but you decided to stay here to stay at home why here and not somewhere out of the big wide world. Of this it was you have i think coincidences exist sometimes theyre preordained. They like obviously off but if i had been a coach i might have been working outside obese and todd. And then the hotel came along as well and i think it was the right decision to have it here. Because the village over visa is closely linked with the name yet and suffice for those that wish to know and its also good publicity for us especially for the hotel and its free publicity to my wrist. And im really glad ive stayed here its my home. After all that travelling around because of my sport i was glad to find something. You know were. Alive a sport because to be home staying at home and not having to go far away after all that travelling that makes sense now this building is more than twenty years old i believe it has a pretty interesting history and. So he said three of the building used to belong to the east German Secret Police the. Locals called it the milk and we bought it in one thousand nine hundred eighty five im converted im to extend it within a year. And that makes it more interesting in a certain way doesnt that with your yes it has its history the even if it was sometimes a notorious one it will then know weve left and then you know what do you consider the Biggest Challenges for tourism in the ats could be a go. I think. The Biggest Challenges here are the winters i have been thinking about how we can entertain holiday makers when theres less not. Definitely the big question or winter schools regions not just low Mountain Ranges but Alpine Regions to have. Because of climate change. Then theres the question of water attractions what holiday activity options we can offer our guests with when that happens well. Then we wish you lots of luck in finding the answers thank you. Since my school doesnt have an easy answer for times when theres not much snow but he has invested by upgrading his hotel into a cozy place for all seasons. The most exciting thing about the. Cultural landscape and the interplay between culture and what people have made of the landscape one thing that sticks out is the face on a railway that allows its passengers to travel back in time. Saxon these narrow gauge railways once served the entire region as an important mode of transportation only a few lines have survived to the delight of tourists still curious and train drivers. Driving a train is everybodys childhood dream. Market you see different people every day youre in the fresh air. You always feel pretty good. Part of one of the. Trains if all you feel needed when its not well. The fifty back railway regularly takes passengers from kind of ease into it takes an hour to travel the seventeen kilometers and as it comes the stoker has to shovel more and more coal. By the bible but after three fourths of the time in summer its less of course in the winter you need light as well because it gets. Installed. Is also a factor that means. Doesnt matter when youre finished a twelve hour shift. You really feel you know. Even though they too probably know every push along the route thanks to the changing weather and seasons they still enjoy every trip. When its snow its really fun and when the sun comes out to the way did yesterday and the forest is covered in snow travelling through it is really romantic this rolled on board felt. In summer its just as noisy winter i have to say it was. A rival in. They make the round trip four times a day that adds up the laws i reckon ive already circled the globe two or three times although the fish to back railway has often been threatened with closure it survived for more than one hundred ten years. My day and over vision tallis coming to an end and time to get going because i have one more pretty historical sop to make.

The morning at the kremlin dawn was just half an hour ago now the snow from the night before has to be removed before the first tourist arrives. One advantage of winter in moscow is that there are no long queues and no crowds for sightseers to cope with.
