&gt; <br/>
&gt; one of the highlights of the CEBT - to me - was our visit to the<br/>
&gt; divided city of Gorizia-Italy - Nova Gorica/Slovenia.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; I&#39;ve uploaded 4 pics from the area around the railway station into<br/>
&gt; the photo section of B.P. <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Just recently, when SI joined the EU on May 1st, the fence in front <br/>
 </span></blockquote>of the railw. st. was removed - and an open area with new markers<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; was created - very interesting, quite place nowadays!<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; But only appr. 30 metres of the fence, that goes almost all the way<br/>
&gt; thru G-NG have disappeared...contrary to all these newspaper reports<br/>
&gt; that anticipated an &quot;open-border area&quot; all over this great <br/>
 </span></blockquote>city...The plaza in front of the railw.st. - that lies completely on <br/>
SI-soil, is interesting, because everybody is allowed to cross the <br/>
proper border, but just within certain limits, i.e. NOT into the <br/>
station itself. - see explanation on bordersign.<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; <br/>
&gt; enjoy !<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>I am enjoying it.<br/>
For further enjoyment, a link to a picture with the fence on the <br/>
piazza Transalpina still in place (with border marker):<br/>
