Where was I? Vol 3

[Kenty]

Yes! Busselton jetty
The sign is on the end, 2 km out to sea, there is also an sea bed viewing chamber which is very good.

The Moose is up!

OK. That's long enough. Try this:

[SlackBladder]

Somewhere in Africa?

[driverrob]

Nope.
Clue: there are actually seven column-like structures in the rock.

[Kenty]

I think it is called the seven pillars of wisdom but not sure where they are. Saudi?

[Bonefish Blues]

How about Oman?

[driverrob]

"seven pillars of wisdom" is correct.
Wrong countries so far. Bonus marks for the area.

'Seven Pillars....' is also the title of T E Lawrence's autobiography, so I'm going to guess a link and say Jordan (mostly because you are unlikely to have been to Syria recently...)?

I think an alert's just gone off at GCHQ and MI6 will be monitoring this thread.

Mind you, international spies would be great people to get involved in this game.

Yes. Jordan. Wadi Rum, to be exact, after tea with the local police in their tent!

We've toured most of the relatively safe Middle East and come close to some hot spots. e.g. our whole family had tea in Cairo outside the main souk, just where it was bombed a little later. Armed guards on our boats or coaches in places were a bit unnerving to start with.

Anyway, over to you.
