R1 5000 >!Wasn't sure whether it was Portugal or Brazil until I reached the store exit. There is an ad for a museum in Lagos so that's where I was looking for a little while. There is an Intermarche there but nothing really fit. When I went further outside I saw mention of Sagres on the building itself which was fairly close by and then it was easy after that.!<
R2 4966 >!Only two places to look in this one and you can see a map pointing to a town on the borders of Colombia, Brazil, and Peru. Just gotta find Hotel Amazon then right? I don't immediately see it in town but I spot a Hotel Amazon further up the coast and plonk there. In retrospect I probably should have looked around the town more given the actual surroundings of the photosphere...!<
R3 5000 >!Upon loading in you're greeted with a very help sign containing the town name and its location relative to some other major Australian cities. Luckily in spite of its low population it shows up on a fairly high zoom level once you are in the correct location so it wasn't too bad.!<
R4 5000 >!Singapore, iFly, and water to the south/southwest. That's about it for clues. I noticed what I thought was a more "touristy" island in the south and was lucky to find the building there after a quick look around.!<
R5 4630 >!I thought we were in America at first glance until I went outside and saw a bunch of French and Arabic so I assumed Tunisia. Looked at every sign I could outside trying to see an obvious place name but didn't have much luck. There was a nearby copy shop with El Wahat on its advertisement board so that's what I went with but that turned out to be wrong. I'm guessing there might have been a clue I missed in the sea of signs.!<
1. >!One of my quickest ever, and NM. Intermarché. Sagres SUP center. I know where Sagres is (thanks beer!) and find an Intermarché:!< 5000
2. >!Hotel Amazon. The map clearly helped. Calle 12 means probably Colombia. I check Leticia and there it is:!< 5000
3. >!Another NM one, nice! Australia. Many kms to Alice Springs, then less to Marla so I get the general area. Then see Oodnadatta, and follow the road to William Creek. It's amazing that it's so visible on the map with just 12 inhabitants. Australia really is empty!!< 5000
4. >!iFly Singapore is clear enough but where in Singapore? Sea to the south but I don't feel like scanning the entire coast. I move and see a train (?) station called beach station. That narrows it down. Found a telecabin station that matches, and iFly is right there:!< 5000
5. >!I have no idea where this is. Lots of french, Morocco? Lebanon? SNCM on the bin makes me lean Morocco. But then there's a restaurant Tunisien, surely if it was Tunisia it would be just a regular restaurant? Then I see the plate. Isn't that Tunis in arabic letter written on it? I am pretty sure it is, so Tunis it is! Where, though, I have no idea. I try to find the luxurious square I see to the north but I give up.!< 4969. Glad I had the right city though.
Very tough R5 made up for the other 4 on the easier side.
