I hope I don't detect someone trying to cheat. I apologise if it was an honest guess though.

Crystal

[dottie]

No, dottie. Sorry.

I hope I don't detect someone trying to cheat. I apologise if it was an honest guess though.

Crystal

Honestly thought it was the baths, didn't have time to research on the net, thought I'd take a guess.

[dottie]

[White of High]

http://www.questconnect.org/IMAGES/La_Merced_Church_a.jpg

[dottie]

Some church in California, cannot think of the name

[White of High]

No, it's no in California...

[Rob The Badger]

Greece or Italy.

[White of High]

Nope. The continent of Dottie was good. It's in America...

[White of High]

OK! It's in Latin-America but where???

[Crystal Eyes]

Honduras? Guatemala?

[White of High]

Yes, it's in Guatemala! The name of city???

[Crystal Eyes]

Umm...? Guatemala? Flores? Belmopan?

EDIT: Sorry, ignore Belmopan it's not in Guatemala.

[White of High]

Yes, Belmopan in't in Guatemala, that's the capital of Belize. And it's not in Flores too...

Help for you! The name of the church is: La Merced!!!

[dottie]

San Joquin?

[White of High]

No! You find a similar island (country) in the Caribbian Sea!

[Crystal Eyes]

Antigua!!

[White of High]

Yes! The next is yours!

[Crystal Eyes]

Wahoo!

http://www.btinternet.com/~jo.radford1/Vesuvius.jpg

Have a go. Start naming mountains. Actually it's a volcano. My first 'generous' clue.

[White of High]

Is it in Alaska?

[Crystal Eyes]

Sorry no. It last erupted in 1942.

[White of High]

OK! I don't know I have only a guess. Is it in Europe?

[dottie]

I think its Vesuvius? was that 1942?

[White of High]

I thought it too... But I didn't want to say it!

[KebLou]

I think its Vesuvius? was that 1942?

It doesn't look like vesuvius, I thought I had a picture of vesuvius from that angle but I don't I only have one looking into it.

[Crystal Eyes]

No it's not Vesuvius and it's not in Europe either.

It stands at 5,897metres and is less than fifty miles from the equator.

By the way Vesuvius last erupted in 1944 so not far off dottie

No I'm not a volcano expert/freak.

[White of High]

Cotopaxi in Ecuador.

[Crystal Eyes]

Yes! :D Well done.

Know a bit about it 'cos I'm going to attempt to climb it in the summer! Hoping I'll get to the top.

Crystal

[White of High]

Why not Chimborazo! "Chimborazo" means in indian language: "the top of the world". And they knew. From the center of Earth it's the farest point!!! I will put here a photo...

[Crystal Eyes]

We decided that is was more convenient for the area we're trekking around and that it was enough of a challenge. There's 413 metres difference between the two which might not sound a lot but can make all difference. We can't even be certain of all reaching the top of Cotopaxi mostly due to altitude as it has a tendency to affect some people a lot more than others and you can never tell who. Sorry about to go into waffle mode if I haven't already so I'll stop.

Crystal

[White of High]

I think it doesn't matter if you conquer the vulcan or not. It will be a great adventure. Ecuador is a great country... And indians are a great nation!!! I've been among indians some weeks ago somewhere. But where? Here:

[White of High]

[Rob The Badger]

Vladivostok.

[White of High]

Yes, this city is Vladivostok! Next is yours!

[Rob The Badger]

http://home.uchicago.edu/~yling/fc1.jpg I want the name of the building as well as the city.

[White of High]

Peking (Beijing)

[Rob The Badger]

Indeed. Your go, but I'd still like the name of the building.

[White of High]

Tiananmen

[White of High]

I need the name of country and the ancient temple!

http://web.idirect.com/~malta/newtemple2.jpg

[Em]

Hadn't a clue where this was but it looked interesting and I couldn't resist cheating.

It's in Malta but I have no idea of the name of the temple. Looks as though there's a few interesting temple sites in Malta, may be worth a visit.

[dottie]

The Megalithic Temples

[White of High]

Yes dottie, it's a meghalitic temple, but Stonehange is that too. I wait the name of this ancient temple what is the oldest temple of Malta and the world! When you say the name I will have a big suprise for everybody with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dottie]

Hagar Qim?

[White of High]

Will nobody know it???

[dottie]

Vaikom Mahadeva

[White of High]

No! I have never heard about this Malta ruin, Vaikom Mahadeva.

[Miriam]

I think dottie is right, it is Hagar Qim...or not? :? 8O :?

[White of High]

Ooooooohhhhhhhhhhh!!!
I didn't notice that words!!!!!!!! Yes, it's Hagar Qim!!!!!!! Sorry, Dottie! The next is yours, but before the story what will change the world!

When I was in Malta I found a ruin what was Maggar. In Hungary we don't say we are Hungarians. We are Magyar! Magyar = Maggar! When I was there I said: OK, it's casual!

After I came home and read in a book: "The ancestors of Hungarians said God what was Hagar"! Hagar = God

My God (sorry, Hagar)!
I think the Hungarians are one of the most ancient nation in the world but the most ancient in Europe! And I have to study our relatives are Finnish cause the Austrians said us in the past!!!

[dottie]

http://www.billfossworld.com/Sacred%20Places/Petrified-Forest.jpg

Yes, it's Tsingy Land! Let's go Rob!

[Rob The Badger]

http://www.sweeta.ru/pic/CARTHAGE.jpg

[White of High]

Persepolis, Iran?

[Rob The Badger]

Persepolis, Iran?

Nope. Right time period though.

[White of High]

Then it should be in Syria, Jordania, Tunisia or Turkey...

[White of High]

But no... I've been in Turkey but I didn't see it. There is Petra in Jordania what is famous. It must be in Syria or Tunisia...

[Rob The Badger]

It's in Tunisia, but I'm looking for the name of the place.

[White of High]

Then it must be Carthago!

[Rob The Badger]

Then it must be Carthago!

Yes! You go. . .

[White of High]

At now you must say the good answer about clothes! Where am I walking?

http://www.oswego.edu/~vermilye/images8/77.jpg

[White of High]

Is it the north part of Danube?
Or Czech Republic?

[Keep Rocking]

Is it the north part of Danube?
Or Czech Republic?

No

[Keep Rocking]

Nobody?
Here is a hint:
the city is on the "standard" programme for american or japanese tourists visiting Europe.

[Rob The Badger]

Prague?

[White of High]

No, it's not Prague. It's sure!
I think we should know what's the name of the river. It won't be Loire or Rhone. It must be in Germany! Rajna???

[Keep Rocking]

Germany is correct.
Not sure what you mean with "Rajna", if you mean the "Rhine" or "Rhein" as it is spelled in German: no it's not the Rhine, but the water of the river on the photo will go into the Rhine some time later :wink:

[White of High]

Then is this river "Majna" or "Maine" or how can I write it? Is this river between Rhine and Danube???

[Keep Rocking]

No it's not the "Main". The river on the pic goes earlier into the Rhine

[White of High]

Is the name of the river: Neckar?

[Keep Rocking]

Yeah, Neckar is correct.
Now the town please :)

[White of High]

Maybe it's in Balingen...
But the Neckar is larger than in Balingen! There is a castle! Then it must be in Heidelberg! :?

[Keep Rocking]

Heidelberg is correct! :D

I took this pic about 50m away from my workplace. From my window I can't see the castle because there are some trees in the way. But I can see the Neckar and all those lazy students relaxing in the sun while I have to work.

It's your turn, White of High!

[White of High]

It will be an old photo about this city from 1930! I hope it will be hard!!!

http://euclid.barry.edu/~haralam/greece/kav1930.jpg

[Rob The Badger]

Corinth?

[White of High]

Corinth(os) is a channel. It's not channel. Maybe a cape but no channel. But the country is right!

[White of High]

OK! This city is in Greece. In the past it was in Turkey. And in the very past it was in Greece. The name of this city takes after the Finnish Genesis...

[Rob The Badger]

Alexandroupolis?

[White of High]

No! A little bit wester...

[Rob The Badger]

Thessaloniki or Kavála. . .

[White of High]

Yes, it's Kavala. (And the Finnish Genesis is Kalevala :) )

[Rob The Badger]

It's not a famous place of Greece but I look the picture. Isn't it not so far by Delphi? Or is it in Pelepponesos???

No. But it is quite famous. . .

[White of High]

Well, I was travelling around Greece a lot but I have never seen it! But I have never been in Crete! So, it's only a tip: Crete???

[Rob The Badger]

Nope. It's on the mainland.

[White of High]

On this summer I will go to Greece again. I haven't been only one place... and that's Marathon! Is it Marathon?

[Rob The Badger]

Nope, not Marathon. But is quite important in the history of Greece,

[White of High]

If is it wanna be Mükéne, why don't put here the Lion Gate???

[Rob The Badger]

Not Maecenae either.
