Next trip (we've lost count), clue 1,2,3 Where in the World is Carrie and Charles Thorlitzer?

So we leave this Friday...no time for one hint per day.  Start guessing!

Hint #1: I'm on an Island

Hint #2: I'm south of the equator
Hint #3:  I'm the old capital of my country

Go find yourself a world map and figure out where this is. Take a guess by commenting in if you want and come back tomorrow to see the next hint which will be slightly more specific. Feel free to use 'anonymous' when commenting, just please put your name in the comment. Happy guessing.

Note: this is the next trip we've booked, not necessarily the next place we'll be traveling to chronologically.


Rules:
1. we make the rules as we go along (my father's favorite rule)
2. comments on Facebook do not count. post guesses on: http://www.thorlitzersinsingapore.blogspot.com/
3. If you've won multiple times already, give other people a chance for crying out loud....don't be prize hogs!
