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

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)

On here, Tanzania has had maybe two mentions; Dodoma and Arusha. No mention of Dar es Salaam, let alone the seething metropolis of Tabora, where I was born 😂😂😂

You missed some of my Tanzania related posts

Moshi and Zanzibar were claimed

You have just claimed Arusha

I have also been to Dar

It seems Namanga however is still unclaimed

Ohyeahwaitaminute · 10/04/2023 06:23

@abbey44 - my DF worked for BAT at the time.

Azure · 10/04/2023 07:47

My Fray Bentos remains unclaimed as far as I can tell, although a few others have been to Uruguay so might have been there. I had a hire car for the day from Montevideo so took in Punte del Este and no doubt other places I can't remember (was a long time ago).

AllIwantforChristmas22 · 10/04/2023 09:02

Yes I have been to Uruguay.

i think still unclaimed is my Chisinau and Floresti (Moldova).

NeedToKnow101 · 10/04/2023 09:22

All mine are still unclaimed.. prize for me too!

Demerara River in Guyana.
Mazunte in Oaxaca in Mexico.
Chiloe in Chile.
Vilcabamba, Ecuador.
Merida, Venezuela

Oh and whoever said Acapulco, I've been there. Not sure if anyone else claimed it.

midsomermurderess · 10/04/2023 09:31

One of mine, Tamanrasset in Algeria, hasn’t been taken yet. Bloody hell, this makes one ridiculously competitive.

Gonegrey31 · 10/04/2023 09:45

I’ve been to Chiloe off the coast of mainland Chile .

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 10/04/2023 10:58

@midsomermurderess Sorry, I’ve been to Tamanrasset. 😂

MrsTerryPratchett · 10/04/2023 11:06

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 10/04/2023 10:58

@midsomermurderess Sorry, I’ve been to Tamanrasset. 😂

Pipped at the post!

I've still got Ils des Pins & Handa Island unclaimed. I'm withdrawing Czechoslovakia as I hadn't read that name-changes don't count.

SomethingNastyInTheBallPool · 10/04/2023 11:37

Has anyone claimed Ghardaia, Algeria yet?

MrsHamlet · 10/04/2023 11:50

I've still got Ashgabat

Yes re competitive! I’m at the stage where my brain is advising me not to repeat mine - only a couple of pages to go and then I can tell myself I’ve been victorious 🤣

9nine · 10/04/2023 12:30

Don’t think I’ve seen it so far, I’ve been to Kerkennah, a little island off Sfax in Tunisia

Azure · 10/04/2023 12:42

AllIwantforChristmas22 · 10/04/2023 09:02

Ah but did you go to Fray Bentos???

aholidaynotacarpark · 10/04/2023 12:59

Nanegal / nanigalito, Ecuador
Misahuali, also Ecuador
Carlos Pelligrini, Argentina

BinturongsSmellOfPopcorn · 10/04/2023 13:03

My Vororvoro and Donghae are still unclaimed I think. As someone else got Ulan Ude, I'll swap in Tagnon, France.

SinnerBoy · 10/04/2023 13:41

@9nine

No, I've been to Sfax and El Djem, but not the Island. I've been to Lampedusa, only for an overnight port call.

Albania

Hey fellow Albania traveller! When did you go and what did you think?

Lilyofthevalley23 · 10/04/2023 16:43

Another of my favourites that I don't think has been mentions is Fjallbacka in Sweden; a beautiful place.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 10/04/2023 17:21

@Deathraystare it was 2004 for me and a day trip by ferry from Corfu. I honestly can't recall the town name and google maps isn't showing routes. It was surreal, though.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 10/04/2023 17:24

@Specialnameforanoutingthread what a great list! Several trips to BC?

Specialnameforanoutingthread · 10/04/2023 18:51

@Mumtobabyhavoc yes! We lived on whidbey Island for a few years and used to go north over the border for Hob Nobs, HP sauce, Marmite and all the other British goodies we could lay our hands on. We also went skiing regularly in snow Peaks, and managed to get to Alsaka and Hawaii as well as few good long road trips around the lower 48. Happy days back when the DC were in primary/elementary.

How about you ?

Mumtobabyhavoc · 10/04/2023 19:16

@Specialnameforanoutingthread I live in YVR. 😀 HP sauce! Yes, a must for me if I go to a diner for eggs and sausage.😛
Skiing at Sun Peaks, I think? Haven't been, but Whistler a lot and the local hills here, of course. It really sounds like you made the most of your time over this way. 😁😁😁
Where in Hawaii? I've only been once and to Maui. Stated in Kihei and loved it. Now thinking about where to go for baby Havoc's first trip....😀
