Site Type: Museum
Country: Norway
Visited: Yes on 29th May 2012
Stavanger Museum submitted by attlebax on 29th May 2012. Exhibit in Stavanger museum. It's well worth the 10 minute walk from the harbour if you stop at Stavanger in a cruise ship. The museum is very modern and although small is packed with a multitude of artifacts. And the staff all speak excellent English. Nice cafe.

Xemxija Tombs
Date Added: 26th Dec 2012
Site Type: Rock Cut Tomb
Country: Malta (Mainland)
Visited: Yes on 26th Dec 2012. My rating: Condition 3 Access 4
Xemxija Tombs submitted by enkidu41 on 11th Jan 2005. Tomb 1 showing the circular accuracy of both the opening and the entrance to its 3-lobed chamber. The similar tomb 2 is just to the right. The tombs now connect underground due to the separating wall having collapsed.

Log Text: The tombs start about 20 metres from the road. Look for a couple of large piles of stones which mark where they are. Like many sites in Malta they are not signposted and you virtually have to be on top of them before you see them. There are houses on the other side of the road. Start half-way down the road and just walk into the rough land opposite the houses.

Log Text: Easy enough to find, but also easy to walk by. On West Street. The local Tourist Board did not know they were there, despite the fact they were within 100 metres of their office. One stone is beside the bridge at the rear of the recycle bins (as mentioned in a previous posting). The others (again as per the posting) are along the road on Dorchester Hill near a roundabout in some trees.
