Alex knows his history and geography. The capital of Turkey was moved from Istanbul to Ankara in 1923. Good eye, Alex.

Nice selection of cities and I certainly agree on Munich, Kyoto and Paris being part of this list. One issue is there, however, Istanbul is not the capital of Turkey – that would be Ankara.

Phil,
The covered pier in the photo is the cruise ship pier, with the casino across the street. Maybe the aerial photo is deceptive. I stand corrected regarding the driving time – it IS a two hour drive to Buenos Aires from Montevideo, not Punta del Este. Thanks for the correction.

You are indeed a lucky man to live in two such beautiful places. Would love to publish any photos you may have of either city… including your place in Beverly Hills district of Punta del Este (could you be that blessed?)

Picture #3 is not Punta del Este. It’s some place that looks a bit like Punta del Este. But Punta del Este is even prettier than that. And it’s not a two-hour drive from Buenos Aires. It takes a 3-hour ferry across the Rio de la Plata to Montevideo and a two-hour drive after that, or a one-hour ferry to Colonia and a four-hour drive.

I live half the year in Buenos Aires, half in Punta del Este.
