Syracuse. Not very happy with that decision, it being a Med climate. But Windhoek is too dry overall and too mild in winter, and the other wet summer climate don't have enough seasonal variation.

Tripoli. Best temp vs rain combo, not sure how it fares for storms though.

Kigali wins this one handily. The only A climate on the list.

They all suck so Iβll say fuck it and pick Lusaka for being pleasant and at least getting some heat and storms.

None. But I think it would probably be some place en route in eastern France or northern Italy, since there will be snow in winter and summer isn't too hot.

None of these, has to be somewhere crossing the Alps that I would like though Or the Pyrenees. I would go through Gibraltar and into Morocco since the hop across sea is much shorter. Have you seen Jeremy Clarkson's "Seamen" episode  . |
