Question

1. I am an object of nature,

green in the spring and summer,

red in the autumn

and bald in the winter.

My name sounds like beach.

They told me I cry.

(that part is easy)

2. A drunken man saw you twice.

He blinked, his view was vgue.

Enough beer for now, time for tea.

English as he was, he drank it with milk and suger.

His tongue felt think; when he ordered, it sounded like "sugal"

(there is an answer to this part too)

3. The language is odd,

It sounds old, almost ancient.

My feet are cold because

The surroundings used to be frozen.

My arms and fingers are close

to the source of the cold.

I hear a name - it's short.

It reminds me of a red guy.

I hear the waves meeting the rocks

not too far in the distance.

(this part gives the final answer, but it would be useful to have the answer to 2 too.)

The final question is: Where is part 1 situated, roughly?

A small hint: Part 2 gives a clue for part 3, but is not 100% necessary for the final answer.

I don't think it's too hard, but then again, I made it up myself. It's based on my own knowledge and my limited English vocabulary (I am not a native speaker). Curious to see what you come up with.

northern england

i just guessed. its probably too big of an area. was the answer a city or something?

It's an area... And not as big as "northern England", the answer is way more specific ;)

I've been giving major hints in the past few pages by the way. I'll sum them up:

1. Paris was closer than the previous guesses

2. Rome was even closer

3. Venice was even closer.

So basically, the last few guesses are not even close to the correct answer ;)

does this riddle require any research at all, or can we simply use the process of elimination?

Both may work. I would suggest at least looking at a map though. And one that shows more detail than just the big cities.

i put my answer?? i seem to have lost it Belgium ???

I'm sorry, but it's not in Belgium ;)

Milan?

No, sorry ;)

A hint:

Stop looking at the cities. Look at the clues, think about the hints I gave and look at the map of Italy.

Relevant clue I have already given a few pages back:

It's closer to Venice than to Rome.

It's Sinterklaas, not Sinte Klaas ;)

The answer is incorrect though. It has nothing to do with Saint Nicholas ^^ Your answer fits most of the clues though, so a thumbs up for that :thumbsup:

Been a while since I visited the den but this one caught my eye

Pisa (since Birches lean like the tower. I believe I heard that comparison before)

Good thought, it actually is a birch though ;)
