10/ nice little run through the 'stans by @njwatt to find a chain of 8. But that's just not enough, current lead is 11.

11/ This is an interesting one by @ccferrie

Asuncion ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡พ Buenos Aires ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท Brasilia ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท Caracas ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช Georgetown ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡พ Paramaribo ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ท

But wait ... is there more here? Who sees it?

EDIT: this chain of course has an error Buenos Aires does not come before Brasilia. We got too excited in the heat of the moment.

12/ yes, @Jann picks up the chain

Asuncion ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡พ Buenos Aires ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท Brasilia ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท Caracas ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช Georgetown ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡พ Paramaribo ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ท Paris ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท Rome ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Vatican ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ฆ (or Vienna ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น or San Marino๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฒ)

Still it's only a chain of 9. The record of 11 still stands

13/ Well done to late-arriving, former champ @ryankas who finds a way to direct it to Africa
