Jamaica?
Port of Spain, T and T?
Dominican Republic
Wonder why FortFun is so quiet….
In fairness, this is a place I had to look up on a map. It’s not easy.
Belize?
Curacao?
Hmm, lucky’s comment is making me think South Pacific. Tonga perhaps?
@ gluedtothewindow — You’re on the right track, I think. Shocking as it might be, I have heard of Belize, Ken.
Vanuatu?
It’s hard to tell from this photo the race of the subjects. If of African descent it’s not the South Pacific. If Polynesian – lots of options. If Indian – Fiji. But if you had to look it up, i’d have to pick a smaller island nation:
Nieu or Tavalu?
Now, if you tricked us…and by ‘right track’ you mean Indian Ocean, then I’d guess Maldives/Mauritus/Reunion/Seychelles – but you’ve heard of all those I assume.
I give up.
OK, one last clue. This picture is from the Republic of _______.
Kiribati, Nauru, or Palau. The only republics i could find.
Well done, sam! You’re good.
What, Texas is a republic, too, isn’t it? Surely they have a generic looking beach somewhere with a bunch of palm trees?
