Zuljana?

No. Think Elafit Islands.

Are we in Lopud?

Yes, Smeagol in the wheelhouse.

Thank you Dushan. It took a lot of assistance to get there!

Can't remember if we have had a garden picture before, so here is one. Quite famous.

From watching Monty Don's excellent series - Villa d'Este?

Smeagol · #4887 Post by **Smeagol** » Thu Apr 11, 2024 10:18 pm

You got it in one! It is indeed the Villa d'Este at Tivoli just outside Rome. Pretty impressive too!

All yours FD2.

Thanks Smeagol. I suspect this one, on the theme of painted houses, will also go quickly.

It's in the UK.

Brizzle, Redcliffe Wharf & Parade?
I am pretty sure this is where they built the replica of the 'Matthew'
OH if so.

Spot on Fox3 - Redcliffe Wharf in Brizzle.

OH it is.

I only need to know the country, as this beauty doesn't have a full-time address

FD2 · #4893 Post by **FD2** » Sat Apr 13, 2024 8:19 pm

I'll start with Malawi.

Good call

Over to you!

Thanks Opsboi - that was a guess to get the ball rolling. This place has played its part in history:

That looks like a Martello tower there

Are we in Sicily?

FD2 · #4897 Post by **FD2** » Sun Apr 14, 2024 7:22 pm

No - right sea - an island that had a famous 'visitor' for a short while. Just the name of the island will do.

Opsboi · #4898 Post by **Opsboi** » Sun Apr 14, 2024 8:16 pm

Corsica?

FD2 · #4899 Post by **FD2** » Sun Apr 14, 2024 8:24 pm

Getting warm. There's a connection to Corsica.
