JC on the mountain. Must be Rio.

**beano** · 23-03-2009, 07:54 PM

I think the one at Rio is a lot bigger than that.
Never been to South America anyway.

Not disputing the answer as the place is indeed Sveti Stfan -but

Sveti Stefan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is in Montenegro

Following a period of prosperity under Byzantine administration, then a brief occupation by the Venetians, the city was abandoned in the late Middle Ages after marshes formed in the area. The present archaeological site is a repository of ruins representing each period in the city’s development.

A bit confusing

Google Earth shows that the description above of Butrint is correct but nothing like the picture on Google Earth when you pull up Sveti Stfan in Montenegro which is immediatly recognisable as the place in question !

No worries though - I like this game !

Now where is that bloody beach ?

Europe. med?

**beano** · 24-03-2009, 08:58 AM

No, it's not really difficult, quite a common tourist destination in that country.

**Jack meoff** · 24-03-2009, 10:01 AM

Cambodia?

**Jack meoff** · 24-03-2009, 10:10 AM

Or Mexico?

**Bobcock** · 24-03-2009, 11:13 AM

It's the angel of the North, somewhere around Sunderland....

Oh wait, there's a beach.

**Rural Surin** · 24-03-2009, 11:16 AM

Cali-fornia?

**beano** · 24-03-2009, 03:00 PM

Sorry guys, a power failure shut me down.
Jack is closest with Cambodia... but not there.

**Jack meoff** · 24-03-2009, 04:26 PM

Vietnam?

**Jack meoff** · 24-03-2009, 04:36 PM

Vung Tau, Back beach ?

**Jack meoff** · 24-03-2009, 05:09 PM

Beano If I is right, someone else carry on as I am away until morning
Cheers.

**beano** · 24-03-2009, 05:20 PM

Yes, right you are Jack....
A nice spot.

**filch** · 24-03-2009, 05:27 PM

If nobody minds, I'll post one up when I get home from work in about an hour or so?

**filch** · 24-03-2009, 07:30 PM

Ok, what is this and where is it.

**mediamanbkk** · 24-03-2009, 07:49 PM

Actually I saw it on a website just Yesterday - is it the Urbis Centre, Manchester?

**filch** · 24-03-2009, 08:00 PM

Well fook me! Well done MediaMan. Correct!

**natalie8** · 24-03-2009, 10:42 PM

That must be the fastest round yet. what is the Centre? An arts centre, a looky-nice centre?

**mediamanbkk** · 24-03-2009, 11:58 PM

I saw it on Stumble - so know nothing about it - huge fluke I'm afraid. Filch, I think that you should have the honours again!

**filch** · 25-03-2009, 09:57 AM

Urbis is an exhibition centre about city life. On your visit you can explore exhibitions about contemporary art & design, the city environment and the people who make our cities what they are.

Ok then, here we go again. Hopefully this one should prove a little more tricky.
