The while-we-wait-for-river-cruises photo quiz

[Mitina]

Name what is in the photo. First guess the river. After that name the town/city/place.
The person one who first guesses correctly gets to post the next photo!

Please, DO NOT POST any PHOTOS unless it is your turn.

 

An easy one.  It's a video clip and hopefully viewable by all.

Well it can't be New York City.  If our buildings ever coordinated like that it would be an Anti-Trust violation!

Is that the Bund in Shanghai?  Which would be, I guess, the Huangpu River.

I remember standing and watching the amazing movement on the buildings across the river...

Close but not Shanghai.  Right country, wrong river

[deec]

must be yangze and Wuhan!!!

[Mitina]

It is Wuhan 2017.  Lights on both sides of river.  The video doesn't do it justice. 

 

Sadly the irony of the city's spectacular nighttime scene linked to a pandemic.

 

Good guess. Looking forward to your contribution.

WE are suppose to be on the yangtze river right now!!!  Undiscovered China!

It will take a bit to get a picture from husband's computer.

Can I pass for now and get my chance back?

 

I am sure we have loads of interesting pictures!

Hmm, it breaks the chain. Tell you what. It sounds as if you cannot post a photo within a few hours, so I free this, assuming that it is okay with you. This means

Ok...This is somewhere often visited during many cruises.  A different view from what most will be used to possibly?

 

 

[notamermaid]

That was quick, Daisi. And an unusual view I am sure. Straining my eyes I can make out a small unusually shaped church on the left, at least it does not look the standard measurements from that angle. I wonder if this can be a hint for someone?

[Daisi]

Lol... I don't have everyone's experience of visiting Europe, so jumped in while I could.   🙂

 

[deec]

ok I will let you all know when my stash of pictures are available...I promise some good choices...but husband is not always inclined to fill my requests immediately I am QUEEN of nothing!

 

[deec]

I am ready when someone wants to give up their turn for me!!!

 

[Daisi]

@deec, go ahead and post... I was just trying to fill in, but I don't mind.  We'll skip mine.

We did China with Viking a number of years ago...  a wonderful trip.  We started in Beijing in mid-October (left the 14th, if memory serves...) - and the weather was absolutely perfect. Hopefully you can make the trip in the future - and stick with October if possible!!

Oh, good, good. Daisi we ignore your photo.

 

Sorry deec, I was a bit fast there, really interpreted it for you to need longer. Cheers to husband ☺️.

Has to be the Nile, but where?

 

[Mitina]

The flag on the back of the ship looks like it might be Myanmar (Burma)?

 

Great photo!

[QueenofEverything]

Oops, yes you are right about the flag.  Must be the Irrawaddy.  Again, where?

[QueenofEverything]

Yandabo, perhaps?

[vada_9]

I would guess either or Kyauk Myoung  or Yangabo

Both are pottery villages
