I can't believe I missed the one before the leap frog. I was thinking about Caribbean islands and I couldn't think of which one I hadn't answered yet. Kicked myself when I saw the answer

I have to say the Scrooge one has to be one of the most creative and hilarious things I have seen on this site!

I got every single one right, expect Bahrain. That one really threw me for a loop, very clever. I kept thinking it had something do it with the city of Hamburg, since I thought Scrooge would've said "Bah, humbug".

I think the leap frog should be from barbados to cape verde 4,000+kms rather than cape verde to Canarys which is only 1400.
