Funny, I've just been doing a bit of reading about Patong, apparently I'll be crashing on the floors of Baumanburi Hotel :lol:

Would it help if we can work out what the statue is?

If it's a fountain that's meant to show three females rising up from rocks and seaweed (I'm using an old crt monitor so that's what it looks like to me) then I'd guess they are Nereids...sea nymphs...so could be a city on the Med coast.

The city is situated just in from the coastline - so not a typical coastal city. But yes, it is the Mediterranean coast.

You've used a French name so would it be southern France.

If it's inland then maybe Avignon???

Not Avignon. Much closer to the coast than Avignon is.

I don't know the southern France at all...only other city I can think of that might be close to but not on the coast is Nimes.

Not much idea. Looks too big for Arles, doesn't look like Marseilles', so I don't know.

Looks like answer time and you have another go, mate.

Doesn't feel near the coast when you're there. Lovely city though, great for a wander.

You post a pic JAS, I'm off to bed.

Looks like Scotland to me, JAS.

Looks like Culloden Field? :)
