It's an old place, even a capital for some tribes before the Romans re-named it ...
Wow, now I feel really stupid!
I just found out that the youth-hostel of that place still looks the very same as 40 years ago
It's in what is generally described as "South England".
Is the name of the city/place well-known, like Wales?
I just "googled" up Colchester. Am I close?
Wales is part of the UK as is England (and Scotland and Northern Ireland).
It's not Colchester ...
... it's (a lot) more to the left/west.
Okay. Thanks for the hint/help!
So south-WEST england?
Yes, you can call that so.
Is it inland or on a port or shore?
It's connected to the sea via a channel and has a port (nowadays for small boats only).
Walter, I feel like a complete dunce!
It's the capital of a county and has a rather famous Norman cathedral - the hotel is situated actually at the "Cathedral Yard" ...
I'm loooking! Would it be in Exeter? Bless you for your patience. I'm at least learning about the area!
It not only would be - it is Exeter!
And you're excellent - you'll get ... well, something in three wekks time, I think :wink: - when you now name the hotel as well ...
Exeter Royal Clarence Hotel!

Whew! That one hurt my brain!
That was really good!!!
Have a break ... and choose/post your location.
Oh my goodness. I NEED a break after that! If I don't recover in time, someone else can post. I need a nap!!!
Poor devri. Walter, you are a task master.
Easy one:
Somehow I think I'm going to be embarassed but ... it looks an awful lot like Ottawa.
