Have you been to a place no one else has been to?

[MrsTerryPratchett]

I'll start. The idea is you name the place and a fellow MNer has to say if they've been there. However, you don't have to wait until you've been somewhere to post. Post your places and you'll meet the MNers who've been there. You can post 1-3 places (random numbers).

I've been to:

Rwanda
The Whisundays
Cathedral Grove (Vancouver Island)

I've been to the Whitsundays 🤣 and the Galapagos, Takaka, Stewart Isl, and Rotto - no issue with the flies there, either, and the quokkas were very cute.

I'm going for

• Isla Mujeres
• Punta Arenas
• Orkney

I'd love to get to the Falklands and Tristan da Cunha! Lucky people.

Have been to Kayakoy - lots of really interesting places to go in this part of Turkey though. So many people miss the best bits by staying in their resorts. We’ve stayed in Kabak a few times - a secret hippy commune on a beach only reachable by sea or if you can get a local resident to take you down the road by 4x4 or quad. Otherwise you have to hike down. It’s one of my special secret places! 😁

Have been to Providenciales, also Ocean Park.

Went to Yugoslavia before the war - we drove there with a caravan in the 80s and my dad was taken off for questioning at the border as they thought he might be a spy. Once in, we honked our horn every time we saw another British car, which was only about 6 times during our stay.

Timbuktu
Andaman Islands
Western Sahara

I’ve been to Kapas Island, Malaysia.

Percy Islands

Clearly far more exclusive than the Whitsundays, Magnetic Island, or Fraser Island (I had a job on a boat in that part of the world)

• Castaway Island (Qalito), Fiji

• Mopane, Kruger Game Park, South Africa

• Haenertsburg (also South Africa).

My aunt lives in Haenertsburg, I chose one one of the lesser known camps in the Kruger and we spent a week on Castaway when I was a teenager (a looooong time ago ) on our way back from NZ.

I'll add in Exeter Game Park in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, which dh and I went to for our honeymoon and our 10th wedding anniversary.

I've been to Halifax NS.

I've been to:
Green Gables Heritage Place on Prince Edward Island (Anne of Green Gables farm)
Murmansk in North Russia
Kanyakumari, the tip of India

I remember Ocean Park- we would have Shirley Temples to drink which I thought was the height of sophistication in 1982!
Also been to Pankor Laut- wouldn't mind being there now...

So have I @MrsHamlet . I've not been to Benidorm or Pontins Prestatyn though (we were a Butlins family mostly) so you can have those ones.

I’m not, but my dad knew one and took me to visit when I was pretty young. (So he tells me, I only really remember bits of the boat trip).

According to MrsTerryPratchett, whose word is law on this thread, seeing the place from a boat counts. So presumably looking out to sea at Sealand also gives you bragging rights and my uniqueness is forever diminished!

Can I add Rangitukia in New Zealand? I suspect more people will have been there than my other ones but it was fantastic - we fed sting rays by hand and saw the first land sunrise in the world that day (they told us it was the most easterly land point in the world)

Ocean Park in Hong Kong - hands down the best fairground park type thing imo (possibly through eyes of nostalgia) and now replaced by the egregious Disneyland. Boo

Love Ocean Park, I remember going there with my DDs and we thought it was amusing that (after us coming from chilly Britain) people were putting on massive parkas to enter the North Pole section at roughly 10 degrees - we thought it was a welcome respite from the heat 😁

I’ve been to Ocean Park in Hong Kong! We went up a mountain on an escalator!

I have family that live there although I've never visited.

My three are:

Florissant, Missouri
Rafelcofer, La Communidad Valenciana
Delta, BC

I've been to Hunedoara, Albania and Mostar, here's my three:

Ohrid, Macedonia
Sibiu, Romania
Užupis

Evergreen in Colorado
Siem Riep
Cochin
Antarctica

I have been to Pulau Kapas @LunaNorth!

Also Pulau Gem
Rabbit Island Moturoa NZ
Ishigaki, Japan

My three are:

Ishigski-jima in the Okinawa islands (Japan)

Starlight, PA (if you’ve been there then we almost certainly worked at the same place)

Corydon, Indiana. On a bizarre road trip in my younger years, specifically to visit Butt Drugs 😂😂😂😂

La Digue, Seychelles
Gavdos (off Crete), Greece
Borghetto (Verona), Italy

Lihir island, Papua New Guinea. Please DM me if you've been there as it's been 20 years and I'm curious to ask you questions (not expecting anyone else here to have been there tho) 😀

I've been to the following places already mentioned by PP:
Rapa Nui
Spanish Town, Jamaica
Penguin Island
Kalgoorlie
Caracas
Bogota
Taupo, NZ
Ushuaia
Punta Arenas
Siem Riep

I’ve been to La Gomera and Ouagadougou. I’ll add Agadez and Douala.

@mdh2020 I've been to Siem Reap

I've been to Lundy a few times. Great diving!

Ah damn 2 of mine are gone now… Dipilog still going strong though!
