On the Map

 See It On A Postcard's Thursday Postcard Hunt is looking at Country Maps...

When heading towards the Arctic Circle and Greenland, the aeroplane will land in the capital Nuuk, home of a huge Santa Claus postbox. More practical postal information is on the card, the red dots indicate all the post offices.


For the tourist to Belgium a handy postcard guide to some of the attractions of this small country.
The reverse of this card extols virtues of a country starting with the sentence  "Scotland contains a variety of scenery and interest unsurpassed anywhere in the British Isles"  I though I would enlarge

the map for a better view of the puffin and Nessie. Where Nessie's nose points and the piper pipes it is surprising to only see only fish as the Moray Firth  is one of the best places in the UK to see bottlenose dolphins who come in with the tide to feed and play.

A map with the post offices would be the most useful to me when visiting any country!

Greenland has certainly been thrust into the news lately. I like the map showing the post offices. Not what you usually see on a map. I like Nessie being there! When I was 13 my family and I visited Loch Ness, and I peered at the lake hoping to see something unusual!
