    Damn I’m good! And Uluru btw. Also, the United Kingdom is not a country, it’s a collective of four countries. The Cotswolds are in England.

    Uluru. It was in the questions. Being Australian though, it would have been shameful if I couldn’t answer that one.

    It was fairly easy to select the right answer because there aren’t enough “U” places to make guessing hard. I had to Google about the Argentina question, after guessing the right answer, because it said it was the southernmost city. I visited Dunedin in New Zealand and swore I would never go back because it was too close to Antarctica for my warmth loving body. Being terrible with maps (total brain blockage of some kind) I just couldn’t imagine somewhere even closer, despite knowing that Chile is the jumping off place for visiting Antarctica. No wonder I get lost when I turn a corner.
