TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums World Wide Travel Too Quiet! - Game Time!

I thought you were psyching me out, with something too easy!

I have to say, not sure whether I can post a picture up next because most everything I have is St. Maarten/St. Martin. Will look for something tomorrow. All my pics from Europe are way pre-digital..

My joint favourite marina of all time (along with Leverick Bay in the days of Nick and Monica)... Fort Louis, great staff great location.

Carol until you take a pic of a pic we'll keep the game going?!

Beerman--great! Thanks!

Well I need a hint...

Well....we wish we knew how to speak French in this part of the Lesser Antilles!

Somewhere I really love but I'll leave it for a few hours to see if anyone else comes up with the answer as I'm running short of suitable photos.

This archipelago's largest island is shaped like a butterfly, you can just see the butterfly in this pic sitting about 20 miles away.
.

The french hint leads me to St Barts?

look south for the butterfly then go a tad farther....

Guadeloupe is a buttfly and then further south, Martinique? I am totally using Google at this point!

that pic was taken from a fort named after a famous french general exiled on st helena!

Fort Napoleon! The island looks lovely. I have not been to any of the French islands. Time to put them on my list

Guadeloupe is a beautiful island(s)
It is in the shape of a butterfly, and they call them the blue and green Islands.
Technically it is two islands.

Some say the best food in the Caribbean.
We had some mighty fine meals when we were there.
Classic French, Indian, and Caribe all marry to a cuisine that is absolutely amazing.

We stayed on the blue side but hiked the green side extensively.

Would love to return.

Can't resist any longer... Isles des Saintes, just to the south of Guadeloupe. Terre-de-Haut to be more precise.

Guadelupe?

... ok I have to come clean - I am big fan of Death in Paradise filmed on island of Guadeloupe.
The story takes place on a fictional island off the coast of Guadeloupe.
If you have not seen it the first 5 or 6 seasons are on Netflix
PBS just finished season 9

No judging!

Just to keep the game going, I certainly did not guess that (even with Google help!).

Who is this and where is this?

I haven't seen Death in Paradise around for a while! Really enjoy that show.

Ah, OK. We stopped at Isle de Saintes a LONG time ago on a cruise, but didn't really remember it.

perfectly precise Mike! Terre-de-Haut has a lot to offer for a small island, French influence is strong! it's one place we would like to return!

I know who it is....but no idea where?

There is some French spoken there as well.

We are the champions of the world....

Montreux, Switzerland

is my guess

And you are correct!!

Very interesting story also from there is to google the tie to Smoke on the Water. When we went and my husband figured out we were in the same hotel as Deep Purple and then of course we went to Funky Claude's bar.

And of course the statue is Freddy Mercury, if you missed the champions tie in.

Has anyone stood in front of this piece of stain glass?

oh yeah, there are 4 hints in the window itself

I'm thinking probably Nagasaki?

Hiroshima bombing date, German writing....somewhere in Germany but where?

Sorry, got the cities mixed up. And yes, definitely looks to be German.

2 clues solved
Atomic Bomb and you have solved the country

I used google ha!

Nuremberg?

sorry travelhat wrong city

leaving to go home will check back abot 10 this evening

So can we cheat by googling???

I think so. everyone has not been everywhere

I think we should set the rule that Google is allowed after 18 hours after the original post time and no correct guesses have been received

So I say tomorrow at 1000 EST (1400 UTC) Google answers accepted.
Of course we are on the honor system
Is that fair?

That should give plenty of time for those who have seen it and not a chance to guess.
You know Travel Hat the night lurkers.
What the heck we will make up the rules as we go....
I just hope I get another one right - I got a great idea!

Hope you guys read the back story...
Pretty powerful!

Going from the E=mc2 I'm going to say Albert Einstein's birthplace. But I don't know where that is without google.

Jeannius,

Good Guess, but that is not the correct city. Einstein was born in the city Ulm, Germany.
Ulm is the home of the tallest church in Europe... or the world... I cannot remember, but I do remember walking to the top.
And I am scared to death of heights! But that is another story.
Attached a funny statue that is in the square close to his house and a brick marking his birthplace in Ulm.

Hint: The city where the stain glass resides is where US Army had their HQ following WWII (USAEUR).
About ten years ago they moved it from this historic German city.
