    I am signing off until tomorrow morning, when I will check to see if I am correct.

    BINGO...  Nordcap (North Cape) Honningsvag Norway.

    About as far north in Norway you can go on an extraordinary itinerary.   The photo was taken at midnight during summer solstice.

    We sailed  on Marco Polo (Alexandra Pushkin) which just a few weeks ago, was  sent for scrap with  other ships in the CMV fleet. That night we took excursion from the port, arriving back around 3am to commence a continued daylight deck party prior to sailaway..  Memorable party, as we watched the other ship in port (MSC  ARMONIA) sail off.. Cruise director likened the name to an infectious disease as the band played Rule Britania. 

     

    All yours, By The Bay,

    Close enough, full name Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building or nickname Tochō. When we got there these really well dressed people would come up to us with laminated cards in all sorts of languages when they knew our language they held up a card so we could read the observation deck was closed. 

     

    All yours😉

    This was our view from the Observation Deck... Will find our  new challenge in the morning.

    Sue and Phil..

    You are in Bergen, Norway on a fine day. That is why no one recognises it.

     

    BINGO !!   Bergen it is.. Most photos of Bergen are of the highly recognisable waterfront buildings. Taking the fenicular you arrive at our photo point at Mt Floyen, with panoramic views.. Have had good weather on each of several visits there. This was taken in 2019, and no wait lines, so was the  first time we went up the mountain.

    Over to you !!

    Scandinavia somewhere?

    Yes.. The meaning of Scandinavia is a group of countries in northern Europe that includes Denmark, Norway and Sweden, sometimes also Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands.           Where???

    Guildford high street, Surrey, England

    Whoops..   Sorry Qbay... That slipped me somehow....   Yes, High St in Guildford.. Actually my mothers birthplace. She came to Australia as a child with adoptive parents.. She never told anyone that she was adopted, and we only found out after she died. She had been trying to  make contact back at Guildford. We have researched a lot and still gathering the  info she would have loved to know.. We love visiting there each time we are in UK..
