Thanks Micky, I've already tried Google, I always turn to them first ..... didn't find anything particularly helpful ..... Some weeks I do, some weeks I don't ....
Chokkie................ Answer is: Paramibo, Suriname
The city skyline is deffo New York City. In the 17th century, the Dutch swapped New York City (New Amsterdam) for the country of Suriname in South America - and the capital of Suriname is Paramaribo where you'll find a strong colonial architectual link, and the traditional costumes.
