3. I lived in Suffolk for a few years so should know this! The Norfolk Broads borders the two counties but that is made up of a number of rivers ..... a guess..... The Yare?

5. First thought is the Danube .... but with other questions about that river it seems too obvious. The Volga River?

6. Germany
