Well done Hugo. Yes it was Lisbon.
We didn't see the Sintra Palace.
PS: Your tip about reducing the photos worked perfectly this time, thanks.

That was a good quiz Hillins and I had a nice trip on line looking at European capitals.

Mr H should be in your good books for a long time with such a lovely surprise like that

Here's an easy quiz for this evening.

Where would you see this bridge?

Just a few metres up the road from the turn off on the A5 to Penmachno from the  Conway Falls cafe?

It does look like the pack horse bridge by the disused woolen mill but it's not,  but it's a good guess Gwynant

The bridge is in North Wales though

A varied search found this.......

Ivy Bridge. This Grade II listed stone arch bridge crossing the Afon Prysor dates back to the 18th century or earlier and was part of the old packhorse route from Harlech to Maentwrog.

That's an excellent piece of detective work Steve so well done   

It is the bridge crossing the Afon Prysor         We did a new walk yesterday starting from near the Maentwrog Power Station and we were only about 200 yards into the walk when we saw that beautiful bridge

Perhaps this photo of the bridge in Conwy County may help?

Well done Cambrian   The wooden bridge in the photo wasn't that far from the Roman Bridge railway Station

A friend who is on holiday in the UK sent me a photo of something she had seen on her holiday

What is it called and where is it?

Well done Meleri, you're spot on

I had never heard about them before my friend sent the e-mail to me.   They are an incredible sight
