Malaysia I think. My geography’s crap.
Could be Hong Kong. Or Mexico.

Dammit I’ll have to Google now.

LunaNorth · 09/04/2021 02:36

Turns out I was right! Malaysia.

Bearsbearsbears40 · 09/04/2021 03:42

NZ too, but I’ve only been to North Island so I could go further (next time!). I watched something on TV about holidaying in Tahiti - looked great but from the UK surely you’d just sleep for two weeks on arrival! (Or have many stopovers on the way)

Silkiescat · 09/04/2021 03:53

Australia (from UK), Sydney looks the furthest of where we went.

HarleyQuinn21 · 09/04/2021 04:15

I think Japan or Los Angeles.. they were both 10ish hours on a flight.

duvetdreaming · 09/04/2021 04:19

I've been to the most southerly and northerly capital cities (both of them) so I guess that's the furthest apart I've been as one is in my home country.

ButtonMoony · 09/04/2021 04:26

Ever - New Zealand

Last year - Gran Canaria

This year - Tesco

Letsallscreamatthesistene · 09/04/2021 05:09

Bali, from the UK. I think thats the furthest away. The flight was certaiy the longest ive been on.

garlictwist · 09/04/2021 05:21

Corfu when I was about six. Don't think I've ever been further than that.

FrenchyQ · 09/04/2021 05:23

PE Island in Canada, although we had a connecting flight in Halifax and that is slightly further I think

PhilCornwall1 · 09/04/2021 05:25

500 miles, I walked it.

Mrsmch123 · 09/04/2021 05:40

Sri Lanka from Scotland

StealthRoast · 09/04/2021 05:44

Niagra Falls in Canada ( just haha ) whilst doing Camp America in New York State. A group of us did a road trip.
