Default geography quiz

This location will definitely throw you for a loop (pun intended). But the 17
hour time difference (from CA, USA?) may wear you out. For some rest, take a
relaxing ride in one of their gondolas. Here's another hint. The city is on a
bay of the same name. What is the city?

The maximum difference between time zones currently is 25 hours, from
zone -11 (e.g. Western Samoa) to +14 (Line Islands, Kiribati).

California is in zone -8 in winter, -7 during daylight saving time.
17 hours away would be zone +9 or +10; for example, Sydney is 17
horus from California during the northern hemisphere summer. [Er,
that's Australia -- not Nova Scotia. :-)]

But nowhere *in Europe* is anywhere near those time zones, so this
thread must be off-topic here. rec.puzzles would be appropriate.
