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)

I’ve been to Gilgit and eaten the famous apricots at Hunza.

Also been to Pokhara, Swaziland, Lesotho, the Rift Valley, Doğubayazıt, Cappadocia, Rwanda, Albania (Roman ruins at Butrint), Svalbard, Stewart Island and many others of the Aus/NZ ones. And Tehran, where I went to school!

I will offer:

Ramsar, a resort on the Caspian Sea in northern Iran
Fern Island, Bermuda

Wow- Impressive list! I think that's three of us here for Albania. 😁

LarkDescending · 06/04/2023 07:55

@Mumtobabyhavoc to be fair my Albania experience was a day trip from Corfu, so I can’t fairly claim to have got under its skin!

I’ve been to The cradle of humanity, Wiki Warm Springs, Sedlec Ossuary, and Kutna Hora silver mines.

@FannythePinkFlamingo so now my screenplay is that Terry and Cassius (Green Island monster croc) are twins separated at birth and (via reptilian telepathy) both break out of captivity and commence on a murderous journey of adventure and discovery across Australian culminating in a glorious blood-fest moment of reunification in Mount Isa (somewhere I have not been).

Sorry for the crocodile derail OP.
