  10. I got 10 out of 12 as I knew I had to look it up , I have never heard of Aland. Now I have looked it up I find it very interesting and it sounds like a great place to visit. The 2 questions I got wrong I could not find.

  11. I surprised myself as I got a whopping 11 out of 12. These islands look idyllic to live on. I wonder if there are any chalet for rent to enjoy the solitude and beauty for a while. Great quiz (where I guessed most of the answers) and beautiful pictures of a fantasmagoric area.
