WHERE AM I? --Travel Game

c'mon, share it!!!

Margo look in your pm box and after that I'm saying no more, this is not my quiz question.

Those onion-shaped bell towers tells me Russia, but those towers are too tall.

Is this place a monastery?

Could it be Greece?

Neither a monastery nor Greece, no! Have I succeeded in fooling even the arch-travellers, Margo and cicerone imposter?

I have no clue! Is it Italy?

Is it in the U.K.?

not Italy but Italianate, I would say, and yes, amazingly, this is in the UK

Is it in Wales?

Well, I've been away, staying right beside this park, with this view, and swimming in this surf :

Yes, Wales

Oooo! Goody. The hunt begins!

Good luck!

Portmeirion Village in Gwynedd, Wales, UK!



Above quote from this site ---> http://jonathan.rawle.org/gallery/uk/portm.htm

Another site with more pictures! ---> http://www.portmeirion-village.com

Oh! On that second link, I see the exact same picture within that site as the one Clary provided. But I swear I didn't look at the URL of Clary's pic!

Well done, Caprice. I am actually, at this moment, staying with a granddaughter of Clough Williams-Ellis, which is why I chose it.

I would have never guessed.......

margo, Doesn't look like Bondi Beach.

Oooo! You travel in high circles Clary!

Okay, now I have to find an image....be back in a bit!

Oh, c.i....when I knew it was UK, I guessed Wales because I've been to England and Scotland and had never seen anything like that before...never having been to Wales I thought "maybe they have uncharacteristic architecture there" and guessed it. From there I tried a number of search terms under Google images. I wasn't having any luck and went back to look at the image. It seemed like so many buildings...like a village! So I put in 'Wales' and 'village' and after a few pages I came across an image that looked identical to the one Clary posted. The page it linked to was titled "Gwynedd & Snowdonia" but the image it was linked from wasn't on the page. So I had to do a little more looking and finally I came across information about Portmeirion. And that was that!
