Guess the Distance 7

For those of you who thought I would spare mercy on the last thread, scroll down to the bottom of this post.

--==Procedure==--
1.) Name a city, any city, as long as it is big enough to show on a map.
2.) I will tell you the distance from the city you named to the city you're trying to get.
3.) By narrowing down the distances, you can eventually name the right city.
4.) When you guess the city, say the city's name and show a picture of it. Points will not be awarded if there is no picture.
5.) You may ask for a hint at the cost of 2 points from your score (and yes, you can hit negatives).


--==Scoring==--
1.) A correct city guess w/ displayed picture will result in 3 points.
2.) If the city is gotten on the first page, the result will be 5 points instead.
3.) A hint costs -2 points, so use sparangly and wisely.
4.) Breaking a rule is -1 point, so watch out and learn discipline.


--==Rules==--
1.) You may only name one city per post, and have one post between my responses. You may post another city, however, you must exempt your first guess.
2.) No profanity, spamming, or gloating. Please be as gentleman-like as you can.
3.) Do not use google, google images, any range/distance programs, or anything cheap to win. A simple map or atlas will do, for example.
4.) Distances will be given in kilometers only! Sorry fellow Americans.


--==Current Scores==--

Attention!

New change in the McDonalds competetion.

You can buy several things for differents prices now.
New:
If you're feeling like you're not going to get much points you can buy a McChicken for 2 euro.
This will give you 3 points in the complete series
You still can buy a BigMac Menu for 3 euro, which still gives you 5 points
But if you're are feeling unbeatable you can buy the McForza for 5 euro, this will give you 8 points in the series.

But as always there is a but: If you have 3 euro you must decided if you buy a BigMac or not, same for the McChicken (Otherwise people can go for 2 goals).

If you have one burger you still can play for another one but your cash will be zero again.

Difficulty: hard. 3 points
