Where is this?

Where is this ?

Good thinking on the Scots connection PI. But no, not NZ.

 

Maldives, Laccadives, Chagos....? Some of the islands around Shark Bay, Aus?

I'v been out of town for a couple of days, so the late answer. Tall ships gathered at Cadiz several times with occasion of the Tall Ships races. Last one was in 2006.

About women and bulls: Something you'd never, ever try with your wife or permanent partner is to practice the 'bulls position'. This is: Riding her from the back and while embracing her tightly, wisper in her ear: "This is what my secretary likes the most". The challenge is to be able to keep on riding her for 8 seconds more....

 

Bergalia, I'd hazard a guess at New Caledonia, hence your Scots connection and lovely blue tropical sea.

Guillermo, you must be a considerable athlete. I clung on for less than 5 seconds when I foolishly tried precisely what you advise us never to attempt, and now can only walk with a zimmer frame. The worst thing is I don't even have a secretary.

 

That was mu first thinking also, New Caledonia.

 

I had forgotten! Max, Max! I had a house pretty close to this light! where is it?

 

Cascais

Portugal

 

That's not fair, Giulietta!

 

Where is this ?

None of the above...But yes - Australia. Think again of the Scots connection - and the fact that the island is 'unique.'

A further and easier clue - another quarter and it would make a hundred....

Guillermo, with regards to your suggestion 'not to'...How do you think I rehearse for the local rodeo? But I substitute 'goat' for 'secretary'....

And Giulietta - I love your 'slogan' - 'Sail it like you stole it...'

 

I still did not find the place Max, but searching for it with Google Earth, I've realized a group of big coral reef islands some 3º west of Broome, Australia's west coast. What are they?

 

Well, it is not Scotland island, 'cause it's crowded like hell. You'll have to give us some extra clues, as there are plenty of islands around Australia, many apparently unnamed.

 

Where is this ?

Try Latitude, 25° 20.0' S. Longitude, 153° 10.0' E.

Or think of the Clan Chief, Lord Lovat.....

 

Fraser island, thanks.
Not deckchairs on the beach, certainly, but it seems to be a playing ground for cars and planes, I'm afraid.....

 

Where is this ?

Right again Guillermo. It's the 75 Mile Beach on Fraser Island.
Clues ? - Lord Lovat is Clan Chief of the Frasers. 'Unique ?' - Fraser Island is the world’s largest 'Sand' Island situated off the coast between Noosa and Hervey Bay and is World Heritage Listed.

Your turn, old friend...unless Raggi is awake ?

 

Here an easy one....
The name of the close village to this hermitage relates to the benedictine monks which built a monastery in the early 1100's, only a few kilometers away. A few years later the monastery was attacked and destroyed by Normand pirates and then Saxons. One of the rocks by the hermitage in the photo is a famous rocking stone.
There is an important clue in the photo itself

 

Where is this ?

As you say Guillermo...clues in the picture: Lighthouse; wind-turbines, and what looks very much like Tarifa in the distance. I'll hazard a guess at Isla de Tarifa de las Palomas - more of a peninsula than an island. But the village nearby with Benedictine connections ? La Barrosa ?
