    there's actually another Circus Hostel in Argentina so I would make sure you put Berlin in as part of the answer :)

    Sorry I'm late today folks but my laptop keeps dying a death. It's another treasure hunt so that's the subject header for today

    Clue 1: This country's popular emblem is a plant that rhymes with Rover
    clue 2: This city is synonymous with a dark stout
    Clue 3: The hostel is one of our top-rated properties and its name refers to a lively neighbourhood in the city

    answer - Barnacles Temple Bar House Hostel

    Day 16 and today's question is: In what country do they drink ponche, begin Christmas celebrations on 15th December and finish 9 days later?

    Having trouble confirming the answer but ponche is a Mexican drink but various websites state different start dates for christmas in Mexico, one says 12th, another says 15th (have posted a comment on their FB wall to see if it's a typo as another person on there is thinking along the same lines as me)

    Laptop going crazy again so will try to search further if I can but any help would be appreciated. Yasmin you're usually the whizz kid on these traditional ones :)
