[vk2gwk]

Spain?
I don't want to hear or see that countries name for the next couple of days......:mrgreen:. Although I have to admit... they played better and deserved to win.

Nigel, it is late afternoon here... :) But good morning for you. We skipped this town during our recent sightseeing (but came very close) although I have been there in the past....and should have recognised it straight away. I knew immediately it was a "Hansestad" :) - I'll leave it to others unless they give up... :)

[NigelD]

I'm not visiting it this time I go to The Netherlands tomorrow but I knew you would recognise it straight away.
They did deserve to win but I'm surprised the red card didn't come out a few times last night it was a really niggly match.

Pretty rough, yes and now they are whining about the POM referee. And yes, here in Oz we have video referees for football (rugby) and that may have set some things straight - like the last and only goal that may have been an off side one....

Where are you going in the Netherlands? (or do you want to save that for the next WAIN... :) )

C'mon Berman - it is easy now!

[NigelD]

I'm going to Noord Scharwoude with my fishing partner for a week on the canals and lakes.

[NigelD]

Henk - do you want to tell them where it is?

[sparkin]

Henk - do you want to tell them where it is?

No not yet!

[vk2gwk]

No not yet!

The point is that Nigel has to go away - to the Netherlands. I know where it is and can answer further questions. So keep guessing, guys!

Yes it is! (which pretty much covers the previous questions about the US and NY)

Ok, good. I did find some flickr photos that looked like they were taken from the same location, but nothing with tags more identifying than "Port Said."

I don't have much with me at work, but maybe this will do:
