    Afraid not - that would be going in the wrong direction actually.

    Has anybody picked the right country ?

    I kind of thought that when the correct country was guessed it would be mentioned by the poster. :)

    Minsk?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,656 ✭✭✭✭Tokyo


    Afraid not. But heading in the right direction.

    OK, it's East European and has been mentioned before and its not on the Danube. So that's one of......
    Hungary
    Slovakia
    Poland
    Russia
    Ukraine
    Estonia

    Awe wow, finally!

    Found the bridge.

    Now to find your first pic on google maps.

    New Hint for everyone else if ya can find it before I find his first pic: I found it by asking myself: what if he's screwing around with us :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,501 ✭✭✭✭Slydice


    Right, it's Irkutsk Oblast in the far East of Russia.
    Read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irkutsk_Oblast

    Googled and searched a lot of Eastern Europe and Western Russia and then I was like... doesn't have to be Western Russia... so I went out east and then I saw an Irkutsk and had to check it cos I've played a lot of the computer game Civilisation 2 in my time and in that game, you conquer a whole lot of Irkutsks if you invade Russia

    So yeah... googling stuff like "pink building Eastern Europe" won't do much for ya :)

    Here's the first pic:

    Here's the bridge which was the first thing I found:

    Right and while searching for the pink building firefox crashed so I'm gonna leave it there and look for a new place to post up :)

    Well done, it is indeed Irkutsk. I generally try to pick places I've been to - hardly recognised Irkutsk on Google maps as I'v only ever been there in the heart of winter. Short drive from lake Baikal too, well worth a visit.

    Thanks! :)

    Right, next up is:

    Reykjavik?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,501 ✭✭✭✭Slydice


    No but it is on an island :)

    Kirkwall, Orkneys, Scotland

    Plenty of clues... LHD, very Scottish type building on the right, and a ferry leaving to the north.

    Going to bed so someone can have my go.

    BTW, like Mike I've been to Irkusk, but also in winter, early 1997 in fact.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,501 ✭✭✭✭Slydice


    It sure is. :)

    You're up!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,656 ✭✭✭✭Tokyo


    A UK island, based on the direction of traffic, and license plates?

    edit: too late :)
