The cruise ship (small) i worked called in here a few times, its a very colourful village, even a kids tv show in the UK called Balamory uses the village as a backdrop. I could never understand why they didn't sell local Toby jugs.

I am also running out of different places pictures

Sleepychef, I'm not sure if you're giving clues to others or what as you obviously know the correct name. I'll give you the choice of identifying or letting others use your great clues.

I know it as well but right out of suitable photos so holding off. Didn't recognise it until the colourful cottages appeared.

According to the TTOL time meter on my machine, someone should be able to legally use Google and Sleepychef's clues to figure this out.

Adrian,

Indeed, the lovely town is Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. I would love to go back there and in the meantime, you are up!

Fred, it looks like a great place to visit someday! And apparently it's a Bing Crosby song!
Here is the next photo...

This might be an easy one as well for some folks, like Carol. Where is this island?

Thanks Fran,

Haven't been here but trying to guess Caribbean with that long mountain backdrop in the background, I'll guess Guatemala.

Not Guatemala but you're in the right region. A bit under the weather tonight, will check back in the AM.

We went through the Panama Canal once and we took one cruise that stopped at Cartagena, several to Aruba, but otherwise, most have been pretty much in the Caribbean, not so far south.

Maybe this will help a little. This city is not too far away.

No, not Aruba, much further west. Fred was in the right region. The island is around 7-8 miles or so out from the city in the second photo.

I haven't been here, but I'll take another guess and say Costa Rica? Don't know the name of the island wherever it is.

No, not Costa Rica. Not sure I really expect folks to name the island, name the city and you'll get the country where the island is located.

Belize is what I was looking for. You're up.

By the way, the island is English Caye and is at the start of the deep water channel for ships heading to Belize City.

Good guess, but this island is southeast of St. Croix.

This sugar mill stopped commercial operation in 1947 - one of last operating.
