I think with this one, only the country is necessary.

I don't need the name of the cow, just the country ;)

It's not Switzerland or Austria.

Northern Italy?
[There are some interesting cattle varieties from that area too.]

Not correct, but good guess, Psyber.

It looks a bit like the Dolomites, but the country is west of Italy.

Are we looking for an actual country or could it be a Principality or a State?

No, JAS, it's a well known actual European country.

The clue is that this scene is definitely not what is generally typical of that country.

Fair enough...that rules out Monaco and Andorra.

I'd have sworn Julie Andrews must be taking the pic but obviously not.

If Quichey's going for Portugal I'll try Spain :lol:

Good teamwork, but JAS gets the bikkies.

It's northern Spain, in the Picos D'Europa National Park. Northern Spain is quite different, dairy farms, lovely little fishing villages, etc. A great place to spend some time in.

OMG I do? :shock: I only said Spain for a laugh :lol:

OK this is actually 2 photo's side by side hence the line down the middle. Could be a tough one so a little clue to start with...this was my first ever crossing of the Equator...just.

Nope...getting too far south now and you're still nowhere near small enough.

Another clue...our friends from NASA had the best bar and threw THE best parties :D ...not sure if they're still there though.

Sorry had to go for a hike up to the P.O.

Ah ha...getting warmer...it is an island but you're still thinking a bit too big and you're in the wrong ocean...

This pic (not taken by me obviously) was my favourite of the few bars in Georgetown...very, very colonial and still had very, very strict rules...sitting on that 1st floor balcony drinking cocktails looking out across the tiny harbour watching the sun go down :D

Image

So you have NASA, Exiles Club and Georgetown...should be able to find the answer easily now ;) it also has what was once officially the world's worst golf course.

Well done...I think Google's allowed for this one...not one of the most well known holiday destinations although I believe they do have a hotel now woohoo.

Lovely and fascinating place to visit for a weekend which is enough time to see everything (it's that small) but I was there 4 months ~x( never again lol. However best seafish I've ever eaten anywhere...hammerhead, tuna and wahoo :tonqe:
