Where is this?

That's Nice (depends how you spell it!)

Can anyone name this place. That is me with my old lady and the snap was taken by a Japanese tourist at the time on my travels.
The guys from down under may think they have it, and no, it is not the Blue Mountains outside Sydney.....

My guess:
An european med country. Not Spain. Maybe France or Italy. Harbour facing a southwest coast (more or less), probably not in a small island. Further than that, I give up.

Here an easy one.

Well it's not Norway, South Africa or Scotland...give us a clue Wyn....As you're not carrying a stuffed koala I assume it's not Australia..


And seeing as there are no takers for my earlier one - it's Valparaiso...

Guillermo, somewhere in Greece, Island of Symi perhaps....?

[Guillermo]

Some clues:
It's located in a town founders of which gave it a name written exactly like the acronym of the japanese amusement machines manufactures association
Another harbour located only 45 km away flourished as a british naval base and nest of smugglers in the XVIII century, while this particular place languished.......
Down here an image from a famous horse riding demonstration taking place every year in the town.

It ain't Christmas Island that's for sure!

Hey Wynand, that quote by Guillermoa… a famous horse riding demonstration… brings to mind Eugene Terblanche

could'nt have said it better myself

as there are no takers, the photo of me and the old bird is actually in South Africa again; a place called "God's Window" and it is situated in the lowveld or as it is called now, Mpumalanga, and when translated means, "place where the sun rises"
A photo really does not do justice to the grandeur and splendour of this place - on a clear day you can see forever....

BTW Guillermo, is it not somewhere in Spain then or Gibraltar if I must quesss?

[Trevlyns]

... Thinks to self... didn't mama always tell you “stay away from politics and religion?"

I seem to remember a previous post where I said we South Africans always put our foot in it.

Proof positive!

Gibraltar is another place that, at the same time and by the same reason, also became (and remains) a base of the british navy and a nest of smugglers.....But it's not as close to this place as 45 km. You're on the track. Keep on trying.

well guillermo
its not tunisia
and not spain, or portugal,mm, now where have I met the woman in blue top and jeans, sorry run out of ideas on this one
