1. Louisiana
2. The salt mines
4. Avignon
6. Epernay
9. San Gimignano

Pal--A question, not an answer to No. 4: "This city sits about 654 miles NW of Rome in Lazio." Either the distance or the reference to "in Lazio" is wrong.

Oops - this city sits about 65 miles NW of Rome - thanks - poor proofing on my part!

tom mn has 1, 6 and 9 right

We need name for the salt mines

Avignon - wrong palace of the popes! But it could have been 645 miles NW of Rome so I guess we'd give credit whilst still searching for the correct Italian town.

3. Wachau valley
10. Herrenchiemsee

3, 10 down and right

2. Wieliczka
3. Melk abbey
7. Is that supposed to be Schwerin? A bit far for a day trip from Berlin. Or is it Potsdam? Then the palace does not have the same name.

5. Arundel.

The salt mines begin with W but I can't spell them. Something like Wielwicki....

7 - Yes Schwerin - maybe a bit far but I did it as a day trip from Berlin - but good point. Quokka as usual is right on about all things in Germany and Austria.

# 4 and 8 still needs answers

whilst? No one Michigan says that word, you'd be laughed out of the bar.

#8 is Texel?

Found #4, too - Viterbo

Yup - all down. quokka takes the prize (plus S&H)!
