***Where am I now?*** (game) (4)

[Sir Plug]

Doge's Palace in Venice, Italy?

[Roy Mathers]

You've got it Sir Plug (or may I call you Plug?)- over to you.

[Kendoway]

You are patient (or smarter than me) Sir Plug. I was searching for "statue Venice" on Flickr, which was quite foolish of me - as there are about 86 billion statues in Venice. I refined that to "statue Venice Lion", and there are only 85 billion statues of lions in Venice ;)

[Sir Plug]

Plug will do. My entire house contents are now in a container, awaiting the move to NZ, so I'll have to trawl through a hard drive for a pic. I'll post later, or if someone wants to put one up now, I'll leave it open......check back later

Roy, Plug is fine (my old school nickname!)

To be fair, I had a little help. I was looking at the Urban Life section of the forum, and there is a pic of a juggler outside an 'Italian' residence. Somebody asked if it was Doge's Palace and the name stuck!

[sparkin]

Plug will do ... Plug is fine (my old school nickname!)

Anything to do with The Beano ?

In google images: searched "Venice ornate building" it was the third pic.
