    Right first time. :dancy:

    It's the second largest town and is a complete contrast within itself. This is the second next road running parallel to the tree lined avenue

    Here's another for you to guess. It's not one of their main towns but is considered an important one.

    This is one of the main roads

    and the outskirts of town

    No problem with joining in :dbgrtmb:. What we try to do is number each question so that, if there are a few on the go, we can quote the number with the answer. Your one will be No. 22 :thumbsup:. Maybe you could add it to your post. :)

    Sorry, Lucy, it's another town on Madagascar but not so easy to identify as the previous one. It's about 500 miles from Toamasina and was an economically depressed area but mining and out of the way tourism is bringing money into the area. We went into the bush and were lucky enough to see the dancing lemurs.

    These are the ruins of Hindu temples. There are a lot of them at this site and most of these temples were built about 1,000 years ago and abandoned about 500 years ago. There have been Hindu temples on this site for more than 1,500 years.

    If you want more, but different, photographic clues - just ask.
