Eastbourne, New Zealand. It's on the coast so they probably also get fairy penguins

Hepburn Springs (Vic) pleasant small town west of Melbs.
There are springs there - some are drinkable ('Hepburn Springs' is a brand of sparkling mineral water here) and have fountains or spigots from which to fill a bottle or mug. There is a nice day spa there too. And lots of BnBs.

Mecca Toward which one prays Fun fact... if you fly on Malaysian Airlines there is a map channel that has a pointer that always points to Mecca... I watched it for a couple of hours as we flew near it, just to watch the needle swing as we passed it. Aarhus somewhere in Denmark

Lone Pine someplace out there maybe near Death Valley, California When I read Lone Pine, I always think of the Battle of Lone Pine in 1915 between the Australians and New Zealanders (ANZACS) and the Turks! El Prat de Llobregat, Spain. (He was a bigger prat than I thought he was!)
