That is the Avda, de Andalucía with El Corte Inglés ro the left, isn't it? And to the right is the temple where the Arch-brotherhood of the Expiración started its procession last week.

Exactly, that's why the door is so big, this has to come out.

Here is my local post office. Hawarden is the home of the Gladstone family, including William Ewart Gladstone, four times British Prime Minister. In the late 19th century, every year on December 29th, which was Gladstone's birthday, extra staff were brought in to handle the large numbers of letters and telegrams addressed to him. The building in the photo dates from 1907, when it replaced a post office further up the road. In 1915, the Post Office presented a watch to local-born postman Joseph Williams as he left to join the Post Office Rifles. He died in 1917 on the Western Front, aged 21.

If Iremember correctly, there used to be a small post office in Vienna's main train station (Wien Hauptbahnhof). It no longer exists. However, just outside the station is 'Postfiliale 1053.' Exiting the station to the Gertrude-Fröhlich-Sandner-Straße, the office is just across that road.



It closes during the weekend, so I could not buy any stamps to send a postcard from Vienna this time.

Zilina (Slovakia) Nr. 2 Post Office. For more than a week, I only encountered "Posta 1" signs. In Zilina, the question whether it was a post office number, finally, was answered. The nr. 2 post office is next to the main railway station.

Zilina sits on the banks of the Váh River. Where the Kysuca River flows into the Váh River, stands Budatin Castle (13th. century, Renaissance remodelling). Crossing the road and foot bridge across the Váh whilst walking to the castle, I noticed a yellow "Posta" sign on a building at the Budatin-side of the bridge. It appeared this was the Zilina nr. 3 post office.

The Nitra nr. 1 Post Office is just behind the main pedestrian street (on the side of the Nitra River).



Someone in the Nitra Post Office had a brilliant idea, That person deserves a statue. (Permission asked to take a picture inside the post office).

The Nitra nr. 3 Post Office is in the Mlyny shopping mall, on the first floor (as we count them). If you look closely, you will see the same wall decoration as in the nr. 1 post office.



I did not come across the nr. 2 post office.
