Wow! Can't quite believe I actually came closest! Thanks for a great game everyone!

This was my first proper participation with the 12 days of FME, and I so much fun. Huge thanks to ​@mark2atsafe for putting it all together!

It really dominated my thoughts for a couple of weeks... One night I woke my partner up, giggling in my sleep. He asked me what was funny and I apparently said "the lizard's not there". I love FME but I think dreaming about it might be going a step too far!

I want to give a big shout out to ​@matt.albritton and ​@harrcapp who gave me some clues for the Annapurna puzzle. I had been stuck on it for days, trying everything from the thesaurus to puns to crossing my fingers and entering "Sugarloaf Mountain" multiple times in the hope that one time it would work! I don't think I would have got as close as I did if it wasn't for their help, so thank you!

Well done Jimmy!

Happy to have helped. I was only able to get to the beach thanks to the hints of others.

It was a great challenge
