Where were we? That is my late partner and myself when travelling. It isn't particularly easy, and I think my score would be 7/10. Answers in a comment about 24 hours later.
1. You may not know the location but I would hope you would know which country has such decorated carvings. What country, who traditionally carves them and what are they called. A bonus point if you can tell me where they are. I can't think of anyone who will know that.
3. Still in Europe, this building across a mighty river with some bullet holes in the outside walls. What city?
4. Mist swirled as we looked down on a wonderful city in a country where the Indian Ocean meets the Pacific Atlantic Ocean. What's the city called and where are we standing?
5. An interesting sculpture in front of a building named by a despicable in his own name. What city and what building?
6. Having a wealthy Asian friend gets you into places, such as an iconic bar within one of these towers near the very top. What iconic building is this and what city is it in?
7. A mountain with snow but it wasn't cold. The mountain and the country please?
8. City and country please, in a country not too far from Australia.
9. Meanwhile back in Europe, what city?
10. Catching a train somewhere. The station name and city please.

Well, I can't get all of them but the first one reminds me of Stanley Park in Vancouver and I think I also recognise Cape Town, Mount Fuji and Wellington from my travels??
ReplyDeleteOh yes, and I forgot the Petronas Towers in KL. We had a great view of them from our hotel room.
DeleteWell done JayCee, and quick off the mark without any other comments. Not Wellington but Dunedin.
Delete1st shot must be from Vancouvre somewhere. Running out of the time but one of the shots must be from Dunedin NZ
ReplyDeleteSpot on with both, Roentare.
DeleteBrain fog has me deep in its thrall. The first photos are totem poles. My guess is Canada but a guess is the best I can muster. Built by indigenous people and usurped by the whites.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it was Canada, EC.
DeleteWhat a fantastic quiz, thank you for sharing it. It's so sweet that you've put together this collection of photos from your travels with your late partner. It must be so wonderful to have these memories. I love a good quiz but I have to admit, this one is tough. I think I know some of the answers, but definitely not all of them. I'll take a guess at number 9, I think it might be Venice. I can't wait to see the answers in a day, it's so much fun to guess.
ReplyDeleteThe first one I would guess our pacific Northwest.
ReplyDeleteVery good, Dora.
DeleteOnly because of the way you phrased the question I'm going to guess the globe is in New York City near Trump Tower. The totem pole could be either Canada or the United States. I'll say the latter--Alaska in fact. The others I don't know.
ReplyDeleteKIrk, yes, Trump Tower. Go with your first thought, Canada.
DeleteHi Andrew, I failed at the quiz! I really enjoyed your beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I hope you liked the photos then.
Delete1) Vancouver, Canada
ReplyDelete2) Cologne, Germany
3) Budapest, Hungary
4) Somewhere in Indonesia? Or should yo have written Atlantic Ocean?
5) Trump Tower, New York?
6) Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur
7) Mount Fuji, Japan
8) Dunedin, New Zealand
9) Is it in Portugal?
10) Kings Cross Station, London
My error YP. Take a second guess at 4.
DeleteCape Town
Delete9.5/10, YP. If only you followed through with your Portugal thought to its capital.
DeleteYP must be well travelled! Good quiz for a Saturday morning Andrew
ReplyDelete1 could be Vancouver somewhere- Stanley Park maybe or even near Capilano Bridge.
2 Cologne Cathedral with its twin spires. Dad was stationed nearby at RAF Wahn so it was 1954 when we visited the cathedral
5 I assume is New York near Trump Towers
8 is the beautiful railway station in Dunedin New Zealand. Time goes by so quickly, we visited in 2011 - a few years ago now
I hesitate to say so Cathy, but he is rather well learned.
DeleteYou did very well.
The globe looks like New York. Impressive!
ReplyDeleteIt is Hels, outside Trump Towers.
Delete1: Indian or Mexican totem poles.
ReplyDelete2: no idea
3:Prague
4: Cape Town South Africa
5: New York -Trump Tower
6: Manhatten? New York?
7: Japan
8: New Zealand
9: no idea
10: no idea
Pretty good effort for someone who hasn't travelled widely, River.
DeleteI got a couple right, but I'm no good at quizzes and not well-travelled either.
ReplyDeleteJB, being content within your own space is fine.
DeleteI've had a go Andrew. Researched as I had time to..
ReplyDelete1. Stanley Park in Vancouver, B.C.
2. The Cologne Cathedral in Germany
3. Budapest. Danube River.

8. Dunedin. New Zealand. Railway Station.
9. The 25th of April Bridge. Lisbon. Portugal.
10. King’s Cross Station. London.
Margaret, a perfect score, but I don't think 'researching' is within the spirit of quizzes, lol.
Deletelol. I wouldn't have known these seeing as I haven't travelled past Australia, Andrew. I enjoyed doing the quiz via my way.
Delete1; Western Canada or Alaska, native totems.
ReplyDelete2: My guess would be Cologne Germany (I have not been there.)
3: Budapest -
4: Cape Town, South Africa
5: New York City, Trump (behhh!
6: Burj Khalifa (spelling?)
7: Fugi, Japan
8: Christchurch, New Zeeland
9: No idea,
10: No idea
TP, it is interesting that you might be the most travelled reader, but there are a few I thought you would know that you didn't. I assume Fugi is a typo and you meant Fuji.
Delete1. Well, it could be either British Columbia or Alaska, but I'll go for the former.
ReplyDelete2. Cologne
3. Budapest
4. Must be Capetown, in which case you're standing on Table Mountain?
5. That's the Trump building at Columbus Circle in NYC, which used to be the headquarters of the Gulf + Western Corp. I think it's called Trump World Tower now, or something like that. (Can't remember exact name.)
6. Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
7. Fuji, Japan?
8. Dunedin, New Zealand. (I confess I downloaded the picture and blew it up to read the signs so I hope I'm right!)
9. Not a clue
10. King's Cross, LDN!
Re. the Trump building, it's the Trump International Hotel & Tower. (Had to look up the proper name.)
DeleteSteve, had you have blown up the Lisbon photo, you might have noticed the monument on the far shore, and thought it could be a Catholic country with a warmish climate, narrowing down your thought process. Never mind, very well done.
DeleteI'm so glad you and Ray got to travel to so many different places. Hugs, my dear.
ReplyDeleteI am too Darla, and it wasn't from me pushing the travel point.
DeleteI only got the totem poles in Stanley Park and the Trump building.I think I need to travel more.
ReplyDeletePat, I'd be sad if you didn't get the totem poles. Thanks.
Delete1. Stanley Park, Vancouver. The totem poles are made by Canada's indigenous people.
ReplyDelete2. Cologne Cathedral, Germany.
3. Parliament in Budapest, looking across the Danube from Fisherman's Bastion.
4. Cape Town, South Africa, looking down on the city from Table Mountain.
5. Outside Trump International Hotel and Tower, New York City.
6. Looking up at the twin Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
7. Below the peak of Mount Fuji, Japan.
8. Dunedin Railway Station, south island, New Zealand.
9. The 25th of April Bridge, also known as the Tagus River Bridge, crossing the river of the same name in Lisbon, Portugal. Almost behind the second pylon is the monument The Sanctuary of Christ the King.
