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)

@ThroughTheForestUpTheHill , i've been to Sibu and Ohrid, liked both, Ohrid most as great weather and we wandered a bit, sat in a bar on the side of the lake and ate and drank well

@shutupppp I've been to Mississauga. My friend used to live there before moving to Toronto and she showed us the area when we visited.

@DibbleDooDah I’ve been to Starlight, PA, still got the hoodie!

@eatsleeppaddle - I've been to Swaziland. It was part of our honeymoon road trip on the way to Exeter Game lodge.

I've also been to Siem Reap, plus Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville.

I used to live in SE Asia 🙂

@Lifeisdinky
I’ve been to uzupis

I've been to Sibiu and to Liechtenstein. Travelled through Bogota Colombia if that counts?

My offerings:

• Utta, a small town in Kalmykia. If that is too specific, I'll just go with the Republic of Kalmykia.

• Inside Thrihnukagigur volcano (Iceland). That's very specific but it is a tourist attraction so not unlikely some have been.

• Medellin, Colombia

I’ve always wanted to, since reading Dervla Murphy’s book Where the Indus is Young. I think it was written in about 1976/7 —she spent a winter in the Karakoram with her six year old.

My only offering, other than some obscure bits of Syria and the Empty Quarter, is An Tiaracht, one of the lesser-known Blaskets off the coast of Kerry.

I've been to Bethlehem, floated in the Dead Sea (before it started to dry up!) and walked on the Great Wall of China (but not all on the same day!)......

Also been to Jeita Grotto and Beirut!

adding:
Broumanna, Lebanon
Waterloo, Ontario
Top of the twin towers in New York in 2000.

@katscamel , have you recovered from your trip to Leptospirosis?

@Ktjc @CoinsinaJar

I’ve been to the Dead Sea and top of the twin towers 🖐

No way!!!! A place with a population of 203 people normally that more than triples in the summer 😂😂😂

I've been to Tofino.

Galiano Island, BC
Kutna Hora, Czech Republic
Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka

NRTFT so don't know if any have been done yet

Oh, this is fun:

Pulau Pangkil, Indonesia
Bagan, Myanmar
Layang Layang island, Borneo
Pulau Aur Island Malaysia

You people have been to some exciting places! Ones that I can remember from the thread I've been to are the Western Isles, Scotland and Moscow.

I think I can almost guarantee though that no one else has been to Luusua, Finnish Lapland
St. Petersburg
Eel Pie Island (the name pleased me so much)

My offerings,

Mount Nebo (where Moses saw the promised land from), Jordan

Pingvellir (one foot in North America and one foot in Europe), Iceland

Abu Simbel (in an armed convoy for a four hour drive each way - that was fun), Egypt/ Sudan border

Juffureh and Kunta Kinteh Island, Gambia (where Roots was based)

Persepolis in Iran - I had no idea there was one in Brazil too

I have been to a lot of the other places on here in the US, Middle East and Asia.

Randomly

St Kildas

romania

dallas

Montreal

Japan

Peru

None of them exactly wildly unusual though. I thought St K’s v overrated, got slight case of vertigo and a lot of bird shit coverage

Had a lovely weekend in St Petersburg!

Sorry @Natsku, I've been to St Petersburg - well it was still Leningrad when I was there.

St Kilda (Outer Outer Hebrides)
Ilhabella, Brazil
Puerta de Punta del Este, Uruguay

Presumably you still have that foot and you didn't get shot at?! You're braver than me.

Me too

But I mean, few places are that unusual these days..

Was in Capri this summer MASSIVE STORM
