Our federal judges are appointed, on comission, by our Governor General, representing our head of state i.e. HM King Charles lll. They can only be removed by the GG and must retire at age 70.

It looks a little like that but it is hard to imagine a lack of people anywhere in Istanbul, especially a spot where they could be fishing. This one is a bit further east.

@Worldtraveler 4727 Would love to know how the tour went?

Next pic. What city am I in?

Thank you. This library is amazing. I visited it as part of an Egypt tour in 2019. I really liked an exhibit there where one could virtually disect a mummy layer by layer. I also did a side trip from Alexandria to El Alamein Now to find another picture.

It was a novel virus to authors writing a lot of fiction about it.🤪

Alexandria library?

I'm guessing, most likely cash cheques.

Coming home to three whining cats because the house sitter is gone.

Los Angeles?

When I have been on organised tours in other countries I have always found, somewhere in the documentation, information on payment of gratuities and I follow the recommendations.

I would say no to tipping a guide. However, it's your choice. No also to USD. Having worked in a bank I know that there is also a fee built in to changing. Also, banks are becoming hard to find nowadays.

Correct.

Close. Correct state, wrong city.

😄A long way from there.

Sorry for the delay but here's my report of seeing Sir Paul. Firstly, my plan on how to get there avoiding crowds and congestion. It kinda worked, however, about 10,000 other people had the same plan. Wests Leagues club was chockers. Arrived about 5.15 and was lucky enough to find a spot in Wests parking station. We went straight to the bistro where I joined the queue to order dinner while Tony went to find somewhere to sit - the place was crowded. She found a spot and was able to get someone to hold it a few minutes while she came back to the food queue to let me know where to go. There was a sign on the counter advising of a 35-45 minute wait to collect orders. I think I was in the queue for about 30 minutes! About 30 minutes after ordering we were still waiting for our meal which arrived not long after. The dining area was starting to empty at this point. The info I received when booking said the show started at 7.30. This start time was also mentioned earlier in the day on a news report, but, I also heard a report that starting time had been revised to 8.00pm. Hmm. He had our dinner of salt and pepper calamari which was good, but, like many club/pub meals we were served far too many chips - for us. At 7.00 we joined the procession of people now heading for the (Knights) stadium. Entry was orderly and seemed to be well planned. We were seated by about 7.15. 7.30 came and went. Our seats were on the playing field well back from the stage, so far back that we watched the show on huge screens either side of the stage. Yep 8 o'clock came and the show began and, believe me, it was worth the wait. Absolutely Fantastic. The sound was great, the amplification was excellent. It was loud but not overly so nor was it distorted. I wear hearing aids and I did not have to adjust them at all. In movie theatres I usually have to turn them off. I could hear every instrument. Sir Paul was the consumate entertainer. Sang and played old favourites from Beatles and Wings and post Wings. Told stories, anecdotes, chatted with and involved the crowd. At one point the horn section (Sax, trombone, trumpet) played from among the audience in the upper stands. There was a song (on Apple rooftop) where he sang "live" with John Lennon via AI. It was a non stop three hour show with two lots of fireworks along with laser light shows. Not a bad effort for an 81 year old. This show made up for the time my wife and I were in Liverpool, the same day he sang in the Liverpool Sound Concert in June 2008. We didn't know about it until we arrived in Liverpool so no chance to book. We were due to start our first two week UK canal cruise on a narrowboat from Chirk the next day. A few weeks later we met up with my cousin in London and told him about the concert. He said he wished he had known we would be in Liverpool because he would have been able to get us (free) tickets to the concert. He works for Sir Paul's management company.

Next pic. City?

Amsterdam?

I give my vote to the bread pudding. In the Lido I also like to have a bowl of fresh cut fruit (melon etc) which I take to the ice cream station to add soft serve and sprinkles.

Recognised this one straight away but will let someone else have a go. I remembered finding a geocache there, and a cow.

I've not heard of them but, like you, I had a look on internet and all seems lejit along with positive reviews. Saw adds for tours on Trip Advisor which, IIRC, has a connection with CC.

Correct. Your turn.

Time for a hint. Country in Africa.

"You are effluent Kim".😟

Poor timing, eh? That desert was an interesting spot.
