5d Oman, sounds like Ohm man!

[Kogvos]

don't think it is Oman as Cuba Libre is going across

5 Fiji

Fee Gee !

[Lie-in King]

5d Fiji - "fee, gee"

[donny48]

Kogvos, Captain's answer of Oman is such a good fit that it would be surprising if it was not correct. What is the clue that gives you an across answer of Cuba Libre and which letter clashes ?

[Kogvos]

fiji sounds good

[donny48]

I stand corrected by Fiji, I was convinced by Oman.

[Lie-in King]

Donny - Cuba Libre - is correct, the crossing letter is the 'I'

[Lie-in King]

Sorry, we crossed :-)
