Question 1 of 10
1. The first stop on the tour was a beautiful island beach, with palm trees waving gently in the breeze, and the sun shining brightly in the sky. Coconuts, fish, and the Paul Gaugin Museum made this visit to Tahiti in the Windward islands a delightful trip. In which body of water would you find Tahiti? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Our next souvenir was a beautiful embroidered silk dress called a kimono, and some sandals called zori. We picked them up at a little shop in "The Land of the Rising Sun". Where were we? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. The next stop on our trip was in Europe, in an area called Pomerania and we adopoted a gorgeous puppy. The ancient capital of the region, Gdansk, became world famous when Lech Walesa, who worked there, started the Solidarity union, and became the first democratic president of his country after the end of communism. Which country is home to Gdansk (also known as Danzig)? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. During our next tour stop, after buying a cute stuffed toy panda, we visited the Great Wall, and Tiananmen Square. Where were we? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. We didn't buy any souvenirs at our next stop, but we did get to have a ride on a llama! In a restaurant in the capital city, Lima, we politely refused the guinea pig, but had some nice ceviche instead. Where were we? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. The only souvenir anyone wanted on our next stop was woolly hats and cosy sweaters. We were freezing cold, but it was worth it to see the Sun shining in the sky at Midnight. We were in the far north of Norway, but could also have gone to Finland or Iceland to see this wonderful sight. What name is given to the imaginary line on the globe that marks the southern limits for viewing the Midnight Sun? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. Once upon a time, visitors to our next stop might have taken home an elephant's tusk or a rhinoceros' horn for their souvenir, but thankfully killing these beautiful animals for sport is now banned. Instead tourists can take a safari through the Tsavo National Park and hopefully see the animals in the wild instead. In which country, famous for coffee, and the "Cradle of Mankind" in the Great Rift Valley, are we? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Many years ago, people called the Anasazi lived in an area where native people called the Navajo now live. We stopped off there on our tour, and bought a lovely stetson cowboy hat, before we went to see the Grand Canyon. Where were we? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Our next destination brought us to a beautiful Caribbean island, a U.S. territory but NOT a U.S. state, that has natives who call themselves Boricuas. If we'd been old enough, we could have had a nice cool drink of rum, but we contented ourselves with some delicious fruit juice and a nice game of dominoes in a cafe in the capital San Juan. Where were we? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. If we'd arrived at this island in the Indian Ocean during the first half of the 1600s, we could have picked up a cute baby dodo for a souvenir. Alas though, by the early 1680s, every single one was gone, and the species was extinct. Which island, whose capital is now called Port Louis, are we visiting? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The first stop on the tour was a beautiful island beach, with palm trees waving gently in the breeze, and the sun shining brightly in the sky. Coconuts, fish, and the Paul Gaugin Museum made this visit to Tahiti in the Windward islands a delightful trip. In which body of water would you find Tahiti?

Answer: Pacific Ocean

The Windward Isles are in the southern Pacific Ocean. This is the largest ocean on Earth. The islands include Tahiti, and the first European to visit them was Captain James Cook, in the 1760s.
2. Our next souvenir was a beautiful embroidered silk dress called a kimono, and some sandals called zori. We picked them up at a little shop in "The Land of the Rising Sun". Where were we?

Answer: Japan

Japan is an island nation, and has almost seven thousand islands! The capital city, Tokyo, is on the island of Honshu. Japan is also the only country in the world to have an Emperor as the Head of State.
3. The next stop on our trip was in Europe, in an area called Pomerania and we adopoted a gorgeous puppy. The ancient capital of the region, Gdansk, became world famous when Lech Walesa, who worked there, started the Solidarity union, and became the first democratic president of his country after the end of communism. Which country is home to Gdansk (also known as Danzig)?

Answer: Poland

Gdansk is at the mouth of the Motlawa river, on the shores of the Baltic Sea.
Pomerania, where the Pomeranian dog breed originated, covers land in both Poland and Germany nowadays.
4. During our next tour stop, after buying a cute stuffed toy panda, we visited the Great Wall, and Tiananmen Square. Where were we?

Answer: China

China is one of the biggest countries in the world, and has more people than any other.
The Great Wall was built and rebuilt many times over hundreds of years, and archaeologists have found remains dating as far back as the seventh century BC.
5. We didn't buy any souvenirs at our next stop, but we did get to have a ride on a llama! In a restaurant in the capital city, Lima, we politely refused the guinea pig, but had some nice ceviche instead. Where were we?

Answer: Peru

Peru became an independent country in the early 1820s, after being a colony of Spain since Pizarro and his army conquered the native Incas in the 1530s.
Many visitors go to Peru to visit the famous Inca ruined city of Machu Picchu which dates back to around the year 1400.
6. The only souvenir anyone wanted on our next stop was woolly hats and cosy sweaters. We were freezing cold, but it was worth it to see the Sun shining in the sky at Midnight. We were in the far north of Norway, but could also have gone to Finland or Iceland to see this wonderful sight. What name is given to the imaginary line on the globe that marks the southern limits for viewing the Midnight Sun?

Answer: Arctic Circle

The further north of the Arctic Circle one goes, the more time the sun spends above the horizon. For example, in the northernmost parts of Norway, the sun can stay up for sixty days in the summer, without settting at all.
The Arctic Circle is the line of latitude which is 66 degree north of the Equator.
7. Once upon a time, visitors to our next stop might have taken home an elephant's tusk or a rhinoceros' horn for their souvenir, but thankfully killing these beautiful animals for sport is now banned. Instead tourists can take a safari through the Tsavo National Park and hopefully see the animals in the wild instead. In which country, famous for coffee, and the "Cradle of Mankind" in the Great Rift Valley, are we?

Answer: Kenya

The capital city of Kenya is Nairobi, which is also a popular tourist destination. Many people think of Kenya as a very dry, dusty sort of country, but it has some beautiful beaches along its coast on the Indian Ocean.
8. Many years ago, people called the Anasazi lived in an area where native people called the Navajo now live. We stopped off there on our tour, and bought a lovely stetson cowboy hat, before we went to see the Grand Canyon. Where were we?

Answer: Southwestern United States of America

The Anasazi were ancient Native Americans who lived in pueblos and cliff dwellings in the southwestern United States. They left the region, possibly because of droughts, and the Navajo moved into the area. The Navajo are the largest Native American nation in the United States.
9. Our next destination brought us to a beautiful Caribbean island, a U.S. territory but NOT a U.S. state, that has natives who call themselves Boricuas. If we'd been old enough, we could have had a nice cool drink of rum, but we contented ourselves with some delicious fruit juice and a nice game of dominoes in a cafe in the capital San Juan. Where were we?

Answer: Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico became a part of the United States in 1898 after the Spanish-American War. The original natives of Puerto Rico were called the Taino, and the word for their island was "Boriken", so Puerto Ricans now call themselves Boricuas.
10. If we'd arrived at this island in the Indian Ocean during the first half of the 1600s, we could have picked up a cute baby dodo for a souvenir. Alas though, by the early 1680s, every single one was gone, and the species was extinct. Which island, whose capital is now called Port Louis, are we visiting?

Answer: Mauritius

The dodos lived on the island of Mauritius, and because they had no natural predators, they never evolved any defence mechanisms. When people arrived, in the 1500s, the dodos were helpless and it only took a little over 80 years before they were all dead.
