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)

@FannythePinkFlamingo did you go and see that massive fuck off crocodile on Green Island?
Sometimes I lie awake at night writing the screen play for that crocodile escaping and rampaging through the luxury resort.

I agree about the flies on Rottnest Island. And used to live in Cairns, it was a dump...

My 3:
Tiwai Island, Sierra Leone
St Kilda
The summit of gros piton

I've been to St Kilda

Yes we did. Also an even bigger one at the reptile place in Alice Springs, called Terry.

Sorry, afraid to say I have been to Reunion Island. Love it.

Kondingup, WA

Thats the only unusual place I can think of 😄
Noe Valley San Francisco

Nandocushion · 06/04/2023 07:22

I've been to Cathedral Grove, Squamish, and Kitimat.

Has anyone been to Buccaneer Bay, Roche Harbor (specifically the McMillan Mausoleum), or Rarotonga?

Ratonastick · 06/04/2023 07:22

Yep, hard agree! I was there near the end of Chavez rule and the atmosphere was febrile and felt like it could explode at any time.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 06/04/2023 07:23

Bloody hell you lot are well travelled. Haven't heard of most of the places here let alone visited them 😁. (We did go to Australia years ago and went to Rottnest for the Quokkas though)
It's a bit specific but Mrs Grumpy and I spent the night at Maison Belle Epoque, Epernay 20 odd years ago. After the housekeeper left we realised we were the only people anywhere in the building so we went and explored. Never met anyone else who has been there.

merrymelodies · 06/04/2023 07:23

I've been to Ploudalmézeau, France, Tofino, BC, Canada and Kairouen, Tunisia

ifchocolatewerecelery · 06/04/2023 07:24

@teaandtoastplease my kids have their swimming lessons in Gwersyllt and we like the chippie there. We looked at buying a house on the old steelworks in Brymbo but they overlooked each other too much for us.

merrymelodies · 06/04/2023 07:26

I've also been to Kitimat! My grandmother taught school there.

So no one has been to Gilgit Baltistan so far, understandable, it is a harsh place.

I’m not sure I have been anywhere obscure really, I’ve been to Fraser Island, I’ve also been to the galapagos (but school trips go there!), I’ve been to Pramir/Tajik National park.

MargaretThursday · 06/04/2023 07:40
