Travel trivia: National namesakes

Posted on June 2nd, 2011 by Laura Byrne Paquet in Travel Trivia

You know where New Zealand is. Where is the old Zeeland, for which it is named?

  • Germany
  • Netherlands
  • Norway
  • Scotland

Think you know the answer? Send it to me as a comment at the bottom of this post (one answer per contestant, please!). At the end of the week, I’ll draw one name from among all the people who answered correctly, and that person will receive this week’s prize: a pocket-sized cookbook called Another Taste of Myrtle Beach Appetizer Recipes.

Come back to Facing the Street tomorrow for another travel trivia question and another chance to win the prize. And if you can’t wait until then for your trivia fix, check out my husband Paul’s trivia site, TriviaHallOfFame.com. (He provided this question, BTW.)

This contest closes at 5:00pm EST on Friday, June 3, 2011.
