One of the best things about travelling is learning the history and details of a place. So the other day I thought that for all those who have stuck with us so far, I would begin a monthly quiz entry using some interesting or quirky fact that has come to us as we move around.

Feel free to get the answer however you like. The first person to place the correct answer in the comments section will get a prize. It may not be a fortnight for two in Acapulco but lets see how much our ads generate, you never know. If you see an answer from someone it may not be correct so go ahead and give us your best shot. I will award the winner of the previous month when I do the following month's quiz.

For March 2009 here is the question.

What was the name of the ruler who, legend has it entertained Chinese traders on this beach two centuries before Columbus?
