Photo Riddle 9: Where in the world am I?

It’s time for another photo “riddle”. Last time we didn’t have many responses – hopefully this one will see some more.

So, for this challenge I trolled through a plethora of old photos until I found 10 (bad quality ones) of me in different parts of the world. All you need to do is guess where I am. You have 13 countries from which to choose the 10 destinations:

Belgium, Canada, China, England, Italy, Mongolia, Mozambique, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, Zanzibar and Zimbabwe.

You may need to click on photos to see them bigger. Please leave your answers in the comments section below. Good luck and I’ll have the answers up on Sunday morning South African time!

1. In a mirror

2. On a whaler

3. At a wedding

4. With an Aussie and a postbox

5. Just a shadow in the street

6. At a (quite) famous golf course

7. Looking dorky (I was only 17 or 18)...

8. Floral shirts and strange desserts

9. On top of the world

10. At a river crossing

PS. Apologies to Kim for all the skew horizons.
