the brazillian ronaldo was playing, he was a bit old and slow though


Wow! Seeing the fat Ronaldo play would have been magic. Old and slow - who cares!! He's one of the greatest players in history. I'm bloody jealous!

Think Rose.

It's the mansion on the front of the Mateus Rose bottles.

Casa Mateus,at Vila Real in Portugal.

If no-one has put up a new one, I'll make it an easier one tonight.

I'm sure it's not but it reminds me of Jerash in Jordan...especially the 2nd photo.

No and no.

First hint: Roman ruins outside of Europe (probably doesn't help that much).

Haha...no it doesn't...my guess was that...ok so other ruins outside of Europe.

Did you do Libya on your grand tour...could be one of my dream destinations...Lepcis Magna ???

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!



No JAS, didn't get to Libya. I don't even reckon the borders are open - happy to have given it a miss.

My mates exhubby used to work over there. Definitely possible to get there these days...I was considering it before I settled on Jordan. There's a fair bit of red tape to get a visa and you must be part of a tour group with a company they recognise as legit. Veterans groups go every year for memorials at Tobruk and a few other places.

Gutted that my tour didn't take in those ruins in Morocco!

On Libya - you're right JAS, you can go, but it's tough to get in and best to be VERY well behaved if you do.

I'd love to go to Tobruk. My Grandpa was a Rat of Tobruk and fought there during some of the heaviest German bombardments. I'd love to go and see what they were up against conditions-wise.

Apparently, Libya has the best preserved Roman ruins (outside of Rome) in the world.
