It is a long walk

Grande Terre is the main island of the French territory of New Caledonia.
Nouméa is the capital city of New Caledonia and is situated on this island.

Gary has compiled a top-ten list of the cities he visited and Nouméa is on spot #10 of this list.

As he writes:
“Noumea is easily the most beautiful city in the Pacific outside of New Zealand. It is almost like a city on the French Rivera which has been transported to the Pacific. Walking around Noumea and its several harbors was a great experience.”

Sorry for the delay!

The Isle of Eigg is one of the Scottish Inner Hebrides isles.
It is 31 km2 with a population of appr. 60.
The jetty in Galmisdale is the entry point of Eigg, which is now extended to a roll-on roll-off dock.

Eigg is the first of the ‘Island going green‘ initiative who achieved the goal of being fossil fuel independent, thanks to a complete wind, water and sun-powered electricity grid.

Last week we had the longest place name in Europe, this week (one of the) shortest: Y in the Somme department in France. It is a small rural town with a population of appr. 85.

Thanks to its short name it is a twinned city with Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
The inhabitants call themselves Ypsiloniens/Ypsiloniennes.
