Have I been lucky so far?
St Petersburg - lived there for 3 mths, loved it, beautiful if rickety. Long boat trip St Pete - Moscow I've never done but apparently it's recommended. Moscow - lived there for 2 yrs during the wild 90s. Like London or NY, it's a biiiig city. Hong Kong - 4 hectic days April 97 before the handover to see the island and Territories. Nice, but I don't feel I need to go back. Great Wall of China - one day out of Beijing, an hour taxi ride, see it - yeah, pretty impressive - don't need to go back. Seems there's 2 choices - the restored parts near Beijing, which are v.touristy, or the crumbling (and less impressive?) parts further away. New Zealand - 2 week car tour at Christmas 96 with a Kiwi friend in a Fiat X1/9. Loved it, I'd move out there if it wasn't so far away from everything else. Thailand - honeymoon a couple of years ago for 3 weeks. Loved it, want to return. |
Angkor Wat - Cambodia
Petra - Jordan Pyramids - Egypt Cave temples at Ajanta and Ellora - India Galapagos Islands - Ecuador Ha Long Bay - Vietnam Kyoto - Japan Beijing Canadian Rockies Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon, etc St Petersburg Tonga/Fiji New York Northern Thailand and Laos Argentina Most of Southern Africa - Namibia, Botswana, Malawi That should do for starters!! Oh, and Zimbabwe when Mugabe finally falls from power. |
I think perhaps we should change the name of this thread to:
"Who is the best at Geography and can impress others with a list of random places". ;) |

Just talking at lunchtime, reminded me - Morocco. Tried twice, couldn't get a visa for the wife :mad:
|
Summit of Mont Blanc - happening in the summer, so it's a start
North or South pole Summit of Everest, never mind the Base Camp. problem with that is it's hugely expensive. completely unrealistic ... Space The moon |
Low earth Orbit.
|
Want to see the Himalayas - and Everest - though not interested in Base Camp - would be too p1ssed off at the wreckage everyone's left there turning into a dump!
Grand Canyon - want to go down it on a donkey and through it on a raft - have wanted to do this ever since I can remember. One day maybe.... :D |
Grand Canyon - want to go down it on a donkey Stefan |
I think you'll find it was Superman 3...

Watched Michael Palin's Full Circle a while back when it was repeated - some fantastic scenery in China - the name of the place eludes me but it's not there anymore as it was flooded to for a reservoir.
