    5) Is it a capital city?

    No, it`s not a capital city.

    Was it's country or former country, invaded by Germany at any time between 1935-1945?
    Relax darling, I'm on top of the situation -{

    Good question! Yes, it was invaded by Germany in WWII.

    You say 'roughly' as far south as parts of France, which means it must be a close call. Adding to this...
    Judging on where you're from I can assume that you define WWII as 1939-1945. Czechoslovakia and possibly Austria are two places that could contain somewhere that you would be unsure about. Both countries were invaded before 1939.
    Therefore I'm fairly certain that it must be in either Poland or Russia. I don't know many places in either of those countries and if I'm wrong I won't have much of a clue. As it's fairly southerly I'm going to guess:

    7. Is it Cracow?

    No. I can say the city has a very long and rich history.

    Has the city appeared in a Bond film?

    This will probably make no sense to a Norwegian but are you in a country named after a womble?

    I've never heard of a womble before, but It's not in Bulgaria. Neither is it St. Petersburg or Turin.

    Is it a landlocked country?

    Yes, it's in a landlocked country.

    Landlocked, east of Berlin, about level with southern bits of France. Is it in Slovenia?

    I was going to say Croatia, but is not land locked.

    Only one country I remember thats parallel to south east France, east of Berlin if not B & H.
    = Is it Serbia?
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    I have to admit to a mistake. I belived landlocked ment "on the mainland". Guesses made after my inncorrect answer doesn`t count, other than the guess on Croatia. The city is indeed Croatian. Sorry about the confusion.
  • Napoleon PluralNapoleon Plural LondonPosts: 10,467MI6 Agent
    Hmmm.

    Okay, well not Zagreb as Bond passed through that in FRWL.

    So, bearing in mind it's the beach season, then either Split or Dubrovnik?

    Congratulations, NP, Split is the answer! I visited Croatia a few years back , and Split is one of the most interesting cities I have been to. The Old City is really the palace of A Roman emperor who actually retired from the job. After the fall of the empire it fell into decay, but it was resettled during the middle ages. People still live there and open their little shops. Really facinating to see a city centre that is part ancient imperial palace, part mideaval town, part modern city.

    Cheers, No 24. Split is just about level with parts of the south of France, I guess it inches it. Yeah, Split looks like a nice place, I've subbed features on it for the travel mag I work on. Hope the weather was good. Sopot, Gydnia and Gdansk, the Tri City in Poland, is another one that looks good for a summer visit.

    Right, I feel like resurrecting this game. Just because it's interesting to chat about places we've been. So, where am I today (23rd March)?
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,334MI6 Agent
    Aren't you supposed to give hints to where you are?
  • IanTIanT Posts: 573MI6 Agent
    Oh, okay. I am in a town that once held Napolean III in exile. He loved it so much he returned to Paris after his exile and redesigned it based on this town.
    It gets its name from a hotel.
    It used to have a hovercraft service.

    That should help...

    Well, doesn't that narrow it down? There were only two places my namesake were in exile, and the second he never returned from.

    St Helena? I'm not even sure where it is tbh.
