Where is this?

[Guillermo]

Graf von Götzen, nowadays the MV Liemba.
Constructed at the Meyer shipyard at Papenburg.
One gun from the Königsberg -we teased for it lately- was mounted on the Götzen.
Film was The Queen of Africa.

(See: Battle for lake Tanganyka)

Cheers.

OK,
I wasn't active these days in this thread because I was busy working here.
Where was I?

A clue: We have teased about this place already.
Meet you again tomorrow. Good night, evening, morning, etc, to you all.

Cheers.

Of course Guillermo!

Unfortunately the article you linked does´nt give any insight in the whole story. A truly dramatic story, by all means. And I have not the time and passion to translate it.
There are serious plans to bring her back to Papenburg for her 100th anniversary!
Dramatic as I said....................


Your turn.

Hamburg?

The discrepancy is that the riverboat in question is the Klondike! There were actually many in service...I'll give you a secret to entering the Yukon River...Many cargo companies will not carry freight up that river because from the sea, the main channel looks like it takes too sharp of a turn for a 40 meter boat to enter. One actually has to go at ramming speed and plow right over some floating grass for about ten meters. It takes fortitude but that's how it's done!

Okay, I know I'm going to say something that really puts my ignorance on display... The bleachers are for beach volleyball? The limed structures look Mediterranean to me. The Big ferry in the distance looks like Greece to me. The flowers are azaleas?

The flowers are "Bougainvillea" Mark.

And thanks for the clarifying on the Yukon question!

Another clue: the people at the beach are most of them Germans
There are another couple of hints at the image.

Cheers

There's just too many RIU hotels..

Late confirmation here: You're correct in assuming Bleik at Andøya. Just wanted to post some nice pictures from a nice country.... Well, the winter.... Ok, thats a period for that ones with a special interest.

The name "Bleik" is (probably) derived from the Norwegian word bleika/blega which means flat water.

Here it the report the pic was taken from, guess Raggi have seen... You can get free land there, if you wish to settle down there..

The ones who are not at the image are the most well known animals around this place: goats

You can forget about the ones at the west side of the Atlantic.

A clue Richard is going to like: Not very far away from the village in my previous post, this house overlooks a very long and exposed beach, and is said to have been related to WW II and "Enigma"....

Cheers.

You could´nt give better hints, except showing the "welcome to.." sign at the town entrance.
But I made the last teaser and according to our new rules I´m out for this round. And (Teddy will not speak with me any longer) I built some of the RIU hotels, and others, a while ago.

Regards
Richard

A great movie that was "The African Queen" as we know it in English, starring Bogart and Hepburn.
