What's The City

[kayo]

here´s a google earth shot of same city.

Ok, either my pc is crap, or that pic is crap.

It´s between a capital city and a popular tourist resort destination.

Where I used to work, in all three towns, years and years ago..

[Old Croc]

If you want to get rid of those markers Kayo, just right click on them and delete. You dont have to black them out.

As usual a vague pic from you.

[kayo]

okay, (thanks croc)

Here are the definitive clues

1. a river runs through this town.

2. Two or three famous painters of this nation have museums here.

Teyler, Frans Hals, Corrie Boom...

3. speaking of museums, this town hosts the first ever museum for a product that is slowly becoming decriminalized. around the world.

4. There are two Irish Pubs in this town.

5. The shot, in the movie Ocean´s twelve, in front of the "capital" train station, was actually shot in front of this town´s train station.

Anyway I don't know what is the definition of a central american island .

[kayo]

Mainland,

Anything south from mexico,

source

Central America is the narrow piece of land that connects Mexico and South America. Central America is actually part of North America, but the countries in Central America are more similar to the countries in South America. This is because these countries share a language – Spanish – and cultural traditions with South America. The countries that make up Central America are Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.

Source

Central America is the region of North America located between the southern border of Mexico and the northwest border of Colombia, in South America. Some geographers classify Central America as a large isthmus, and in this geographic sense it sometimes includes the portion of Mexico east of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, namely the Mexican states of Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán and Quintana Roo. .

is it that plce in the marshall islands?¿??

[Old Croc]

Thanks Kayo for your definitions of Central America.

You were less free in explaining exactly what constitutes a CA island in your eyes, but I will make the assumption you only mean the small close offshore islands none of which boast a major city.

So I will change my perhaps to no.

The Marshall Islands is also incorrect.

[mittheimp]

caribbean?

grenada?

[Old Croc]

Yes and no.

[mittheimp]

Nevis?

is it a cricket playing island?

[Old Croc]

I need the full name of the Island and then the city to award points.

Yes, going well in the 20/20.

[mittheimp]

[Old Croc]

You're very close (within the federation), but wrong Island and city.
