    Too big to sink Mate.
    It is Calvi Korsica.
    Donar I have been there many times. I lived and worked aboard my last boat for nine years and made several circumnavigations. Being at home (port) in Monaco that was quite often just a short trip to Korsica or Sardinia, especially during the F1 Raceweek in may, or prior to, actually.

    feel free to give us the next examination. I do´nt have any pictures from my voyages on my notebook and I´m not at home.

    OK, here is another easy one for Apex, I guess.
    This is a little "rock" in the med where I camped with some friends the summer of 1984.

    No, you got me. Do´nt know where it is. First thought was Capri, but I do´nt know why. And there are quite some "rocks" in the med.

    Well, if you take the train from Nice, I think this is this is one of the last stops, or maybe the last(?) before Monaco.
    Here is another picture (from the net):

    Well, there is only one (tiny little) rock close to MC at Cap d Áil, but I do´nt know if there is a train station, though one can see trains close to the shore at some spots.
    But the scene in your pictures I really cannot remember. So this is just guessing.

    I think you are right. If you walk from the Cap d'Ail train station down to the sea you will find this little rock. It's amazing that in this area it's still possible to have public access to the sea like this. Many places everything is private.

    Your turn?

    Go ahead, no time to make a good one.

    I passed that point maybe 50 times but I really can´t remember this nice footpath.

    Looks all very much like the Baltic sea, the Lighthouse German or Danish, but we do´nt have such island.
    Sweden?

    Pretty close. You think maybe it's too much from Norway now, but this is on our southern coast.

    Thats correct, our Virgin (Jomfru) Island, a thin strip of round rocks and sand left by the ice front..

    Do´nt know that! And I do´nt have google earth to search up the coastlines of the world. (and for sure not the time either).
    But I have travelled this world a hundred times (by boat and due to my business), visiting all but about 15 - 18 nations, and travelling all the seven seas. Maybe not as much as Whoosh, but still plenty.
