We took our annual road trip to Baja California Sur to visit the beach and play some golf. I like how this location is farther from the city compared to other resorts. I really enjoyed the sweet and savory sauce on the pizza with shredded chicken. After eating, I fell asleep, and half of my legs ended up getting tanned.

Question: Which hotel did Adam stay at?

I visited my friend in Japan, and we had some alright crepes! The area had a lot of foot traffic, so we expected a long wait, but it was worth it. I’m usually not a fan of yogurt in my crepe, but it still tasted pretty alright.

Question: What is the address of this location?

After my long train ride, I visited a deer park and got to feed the wildlife. There were so many restaurants to choose from but I was craving eel. I really like the soup mixed in with the rice and fish. The wasabi threw me off since I don’t normally have it served this way.

I would recommend this place if you want to find a quiet restaurant to eat at, and wouldn’t mind finding a few small fish bones. Eels are known to carry lots of tiny bones it’s inevitable that you’ll find it in a lot of places.

Question: What is the full name of the restaurant?

My friend spotted this really good fuel deal for his car, but he won't tell me where he got it. He sent this picture to make me mad and he even blurred out the road signs! Can you find this deal for me?

The flag is the address of the gas station, omitting the post code and any symbols including commas, replacing spaces with underscores (_), and with all abbreviations expanded.

For example, if the building is located at 1888 Big Eddy Rd (address), Revelstoke (city/suburb), BC (state/territory) V0E 3K0 (post code), Canada (country), the flag would be:

irisctf{1888_Big_Eddy_Road_Revelstoke_British_Columbia_Canada}

I took this picture while I was on a road trip. I distinctively remember that there was a body of water along this route, and there weren't many populated areas. Find the route number of the road I was on.

The flag is the route number and the 2-character abbreviation of the country it is in, seperated by an underscore (_). For example, if the route was route 23 in British Columbia, Canada, the flag would be irisctf{23_CA} .

I took this picture while I was on a trip, somewhere, and I saw this beautiful wall art. However, in a shocking turn of events, I don't know where it was! Can you find it for me?

The flag is the coordinates of the building which contains this wall art, in decimal format and correct to 3 decimal places, and seperated by an underscore (_).

For example, if the building was located at 50°59'52.934"N, 118°13'28.792"W the flag would be irisctf{50.998_-118.225} .
