Where in Greece?

No, this is an island

Ionian?

No, Saronic

Is this your own photo Susie.....so somewhere you've been?

Not my photo but I have sort of been there, was a short ferry trip from the island we were staying. This is a bigger island compared to where we were

Susie has given me the answer for this but I'll be away until Sunday.

Thanks to Google, it's Aegina!!!!

Correct, Joy.

........won't be long!!

Sorry for the delay!

Looks like a lake?

'Tis a lake Chris! Something else there as well.....perhaps more well known.......

Kaiafas thermal lake?

Lake Marathon (Reservoir) ?

____________________________

Yes Wendy, it is Lake Marathon! Do you know what else is there? You can see a bit of it in the foreground........

Do you mean the Marathon Dam? Apparently the same white marble used in its construction (external cladding) was also used in the construction of the Parthenon / Acropolis...

___________________________________________________

That's what I was thinking of Wendy. Interesting reading about its construction I thought.

Your turn........

Thanks Joy.  

OK then, probably quite an easy question, so I have gone into more detail to make it more interesting - well I think it is anyway!  



What and Where am I?

I was first suggested in the 7th Century BC, although the technology did not exist to construct me.

The idea was developed into a modern version and I was finally opened in the 19th Century.

1.What and where am I?

2.What is my purpose and what do I save?

3.Who was the very first person to suggest me?

4. What are my dimensions?

5. What exact date was I first used?

6. What do I have at each end, installed in 1988?

7. What other activity (there is a school) also now takes place here? (Although this is definitely not the purpose for which I was built!)

Would anyone like to have a guess at the main question?

Please don't look for anything too complicated, it is actually quite straight forward....

Further clues can be provided...

Something to do with the Olympic Games?

No, sorry Joy.

No.1 is a two word answer, alliterative, does that help?

I have been in a vehicle which was driven past it and I would like to go back to take a closer look.

Nick got this one - Corinth Canal. I haven't got time to get all the answers so will let someone else.

Well Done Nick!



I hope you and Nick are both doing well Chris.

Anyone want to answer the other questions?  

Then you can decided between you who wants to set the next challenge?

___________________________________________________________________________

Would anyone like to answer any of the other questions 2 to 7 ?

Just bringing this back to the top so it is not forgotten.    

Sounds like it is over to you Chris and Nick, for the next question...

(If anyone wants me to provide the remaining answers, please let me know.)
