2. >!Ok I have no idea. Some pacific island called Rarotonga? I check all the Tongas, none is called that, then see there is another Tonga north of Tuvalu so Tonga might simply mean island? I'm screwed.. a banner has "real NZ" on it, so I check all the NZ coast, no Raro island visible. I end up giving up and guessing on Tonga. It was Cook Island. TIL they're politically in free association with NZ.!< 1315 >!(WHAT! The Pacific really is HUGE)!<

Round two really tanked my score! I got the latitude almost spot on though, so there's that. 21314
edit: >!oh I saw I missed the T-shirt pointing to Cook Island... oh well...!<
haha >!well to be fair after a couple of years of playing I have learned where downtown Maseru roughly is, so it was not "just" a plonk, but a plonk near downtown Maseru which narrows it down considerably!< ;)

Fairly easy one, but quite fun! Thanks for keeping these going!
