D/Tel - Where in the World?

[rescuer]

Answer required for - "Which city is this. A New Year's Day parade in a city renowned for beaches, botanical gardens, flamingoes and a flat-topped mountain."
From the photo shown with the question I would think the city to be in S Americ.

most famous flat topped mountain is of course Cape Town -fabulous beaches but can't comment on the other stuff.

Undoubtedly Rio de Janeiro and its proximity to Pedra da G�via, a flat topped mountain nearby. (Seen here; http://adams.patriot.net/~eastlnd2/rj/pl/rio/r io-ss.htm )

No, it is Cape Town.

thanks to all three of you for prompt response. I think I have to go to Rio De Janeiro.
(I'm not superstitious or any of the other things, but exactly as I was typing 'Rio De Janeiro' above just now Harry Hill on TV Burp said 'Rio De Janeiro!!)
If that is correct all I have to do is be first out of the bag.

I PROMISE you it is CAPE TOWN! The picture can be found on the 4corners website if you wish to check.

Well, Catron, there is no mistake at all. There, for sure, is the proof. You win! And my hearty thanks.

You are welcome. The picture in the Telegraph can nearly always be found on the owners website and if the answer isn't obvious from the 'blurb', it can be worth searching this website with a 'keyword' or two. I do agree that the children looked south american though and I was rather surprised at the answer being Cape Town.

Good luck in winning the camera.
