Name the Capital City from a single clue quiz 1
As discussed yesterday, let's do this quiz on a different basis and see how it goes. The idea is that no-one posts any guesses. Instead you PM me with your answers any time up to 8pm tonight. If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier. So no hurry and it doesn't matter when you submit the answers because I'll be judging them solely on who has the most correct - and in the event of two or more being level it will be a tie. I hope this is clear and good luck.
So here we go - can you name the capital city from each clue? They are all capital cities of sovereign countries. Naturally no internet or reference material to be used.
