    Not Belgium either? That would be the next one on your list right?:tb-wink:

    I'm pretty sure we should be looking in the Czech/Slovenia area.....but I haven't found it yet :(

    Nope, eliminated Germany last night see post #26

    Yep, that would conclude my European Vacation trip from 2004 as well as my Greece / Turkey trip from 2007 so I guess Tuesday night I will have to post a BIG HINT to help cut down the search area even deeper...

    Time to slice the map in half and see what our GeoSleuth's can do with that knowledge...

    Not that I'm participating on this one though.

    Think I have it narrowed down!
    Now, just a matter of having enough
    time to look around more!

    It's probably not Ireland, either. They drive on the left side of the road, just like in Great Britain.

    So countries left to search must be:
    Spain (incl. Mallorca)
    Portugal
    Luxembourg
    Denmark
    Sweden
    And I see a tip of Norway on the last map

    Does Corsica and Sardegna count as France and Italy which are ruled out?

    Poland and Czech Rep is still on the map, but I count them out, due to the "Here|||not here" clue, which I see as west not east. Lines in middle of the clue, I see as the former "Iron curtain".

    Luxembourg and Lichtenstein are probably good bets. Also, note that not all European countries use yellow paint on their roads. Luxembourg's central train station has some autobahn footage nearby that's got almost the exact same appearance as the photo. I just don't have the patient to look for the precise spot.
