    Rather more obscure this time :heehee:. A large city which was named after the local name for a plant with edible seeds and leaves.

    You need a head for heights to view it from here.

    Very well done. The town is called Stone Town, the capital of Zanzibar, and is named for the coral stone (on the back of that lorry) of which the buildings are made.

    My avatar is a red colubus monkey and they can't live anywhere other than Zanzibar. They need to chew on the coral to aid their digestion otherwise the fruit they eat will poison them. They are lovely animals and I was lucky enough to meet a friendly tribe of them :love30:

        No 7. :yay: Yes, well done. I thought you might get it. I seem to remember that you were there this year :scratch: (I think!).

        No 8. Sorry, wrong. The cable car on Lantau runs closer to the ground and the town there is by the sea.

        While you're puzzling over No 8 I thought I would put up a nice seasonal one.

        I took this photo one Christmas Eve.

        No. 11
