    The hat is Panama

    I think the questionable ones are:

    cigar - panama or cuba? isn't cuban cigars more well known?

    monkey - gibralter or hong kong?

    angel or phoenix on the flag? is it a phoenix my eyesight isn't good enough to tell?

    ehlittleone, I've done this on the front page and am editing it as we go, I've taken yours into account on that, thanks. I can carry on doing that if you like?

    I think that all that we've got left (we seem to have consensus on everything else) is:-

    Gibraltar (or Hong Kong?) - at the back on the roof in the middle - I'd go for it being a monkey, rather than King Kong, and therefore Gibralter....

    Times Square? (The square clock) but we already have New York.....

    Buffalo is NY too. Can't have 3 NYs surely? Plus buffalo have curly up horn and no hump - here.
    I think it's a bison - here - so am trying to find the significance of a bison. :mad:
    If you have nothing constructive to say just move along.

    Could the thing on top of roof on right hand side be Easter Island and the eggs on the road be the Chocolate Hills? According to one of my reference books these hills are on an island called Bohol in the Philippines and are the island's main attraction. Sorry to confuse things even more!!:o
