    The building is Olhao's market, located by the seaside. Very typical.
    I went there several times when I lived in Portugal.

    Cheers.

    You can see just one marina, but two nations.

    Well, the country where the marina is shall be Germany, because of the courtesy flag in the second sailboat, so the other country can only be Holland, Denmark or Poland, if I'm not wrong. But I have not been able to find a marina like that in any of the borders....:confused:

    Cheers.

    Look here 54.8097 deg lattitude, and 9.45206 longitude on googleearth in decimal degrees near a town called Murwik near Flensburg, and if correct I pass the honour of placing the next challenge to Guillermo.... as his post inspired my search...

    but thats a courtesy flag, if it were Europe the hills would be covered in houses, so me does not agree, but the water looks dark like EU waters do, or in Bosperos

    Where to send the T- shirt? Well one for Guillermo too I did not retouche the flag on purpose!

    It is the Sonwik Marina in Flensburg Germany and the little valley on the opposite coast is the German / Danish boarder. I live just uphill the Marina.

    Sorry Stu, Turkey would have been tooo easy for you!

    Nice area apex, If it didn't get soo bloody cold in summer - let alone winter, I would be tempted to visit one day....

    It´s not soo cold in winter, due to the North sea and the Baltic influence but the humidity let you freeze down to the bones. And some summer is just a green painted winter (in 2005 we had 8°C at 10th of Aug.)!
    But if the weather is nice, it´one of the most beautiful regions in the world.
    Regards

    btw. am I allowed to ask the next question, or is it the one who solved the riddle?

    Ah I just ask....where? it´s almost half past seven, but it started sevice over 1000 years ago.

    well thats one of the islands of the great barrier reef, of which there are squillions
    I heard nothing abt this rule, if one does not take up, we usually take it in turns
    the rule is sposed to be, that you must have been there AND it must have a boat or ship, so masas wee island does not qualify, although we all know its there as a wee larf,
    in other words you took the pic yourself

    Just as well you are NOT an American, you would be sent to Guano Bay for that insult for not knowing this famous "pre-Presidential refuge"
