[GAME] Tourist destinations in Europe

[Paula]

Hi everyone 👋

This week, we're jet-setting across Europe in a game exploring some of its most iconic cities and must-visit spots. 🔥

Here's how it works - we've scattered clues for you below. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to decipher these hints and drop the name of the location in the comments. Heads up 🙌 the map number is a nifty guide to the whereabouts of the city/place, but it might not be pinpoint accurate. To keep the game fair and fun, let's stick to one guess per comment 😊

It is #20 @Mike-And-Jane0 as you can see in the table at the top of the game. 😊

[Mike-And-Jane0]

@Paula not according to the post I replied to it isn't.

[Paula]

Corrected 😊

I love Croatia! I went there with my family in 2017. I went to Zagreb, Dubrovnik, and Bol. Beautiful country and very underrated! 

[Pat271]

Geneva for 14?

[Paula]

@Pat271 , This is such a beautiful place. I had the opportunity to visit it in 2017 and explored some towns nearby. The one that stands out the most in my memory is Annecy in France. Have you had the chance to visit this area? Or perhaps, @Joelle43 , have you visited Annecy in France? Both of these places are a must for me when visiting Europe 😍

[Pat271]

@Paula  Not yet…but I have been on the other side of that lake, in Montreux. There’s a big Jazz Festival there every year!

@Paula is No. 3 London Underground opened in1863 but is now taken over by Shanghai Metro as the longest in kilometres.

[Sybe]

@Laurelle3 You're right, about both! I had to google it but Shanghai surpassed London recently and it looks like with the future expansions planned for the Shanghai Metro there's little chance for London to catch up. They did hold the title for quite a respectable amount of time though! 

I used to take the Metropolitan line daily, the oldest tube line in London. Back then (when the line started, not when I took it daily) they used steam locomotives - can you imagine how that must've been going through the Thames tunnel?!

31 is Dublin I believe

[Paula]

Hello @Elizabeth2951 That's correct. #31 is Dublin. Have you celebrated St. Patrick's Day there? 🍀

23 is Vienna

[Till-and-Jutta0]

The Wiener Schnitzel is now available in vegan style also. We've enjoyed it two weeks ago, in the TOP 1 of the most livable cities in the world:

Vegan Wiener Schnitzel

Important: Must be large than the plate!

[Sybe]

@Till-and-Jutta0 Great, now I'm hungry. 🤣 Do you know how they make the vegan version? And how similar to the real deal is it in terms of taste/texture, or would you recommend it as its own experience?

[Till-and-Jutta0]

@Sybe Vegan Schnitzel is based on various ingredients, depending from the manufacturer: soy, lentil, wheat protein …

Personally I would prefer a vegetarian type, with true egg breading, fried in butter.

I guess it’s too early to expect a vegan AND a vegetarian style Wien’n Schnitzel ("Like a Schnitzel").

As I stopped eating meat decades ago, I can’t compare the taste to veal. Sorry about this.
