Did you win the first thread? Do you win the prize (which I believe was my respect and admiration)? If the other thread gets to 1000 come here to claim your prize.

Any more places to claim? I'll start, in honour of Pontins Prestatyn....

@WiseUpJanetWeiss and @stormsurfer I’ve been to Pasir Ris, too. I lived in Singapore, so it was inevitable.

... I've got another - The Loch Ness Monster exhibition at Drumnadrochit (don't go to this if you have never been - it is truly the worst, most pathetic and useless attraction I have ever visited)

I have been there but I was a kid so I quite liked it!

Time40 · 13/04/2023 10:09

I have been there but I was a kid so I quite liked it!

Maybe it was all fresh and new when you were a kid! When I went it was so worn out that there was a leak in one of rooms, and water was dripping through the ceiling ... and one of the very ancient and blurry video projections was stuck.

🤣 I’m still in with two shots!

Tealknittedjumpers · 13/04/2023 12:59

Has anyone been through the countryside of Serbia and Macedonia? İ don't know the names of places that my train went through but it took forever and we ended up in Belgrade.

Tealknittedjumpers · 13/04/2023 13:01

Also don't know if anyone has taken my shot with the top of the hill of Old Cazedero Road, Guerneville, California. Or even Guerneville would be great to know!

HalebiHabibti · 13/04/2023 13:11

Namechanged because this is fairly outing :D

Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Qawain, Ajman, Fujeirah, Hatta - all in the UAE

Hofuf, Tabuk - both in Saudi Arabia

Homs, Hama, Aleppo, Idlib - all in Syria

Other end of the scale: Offa's Dyke Centre, Knighton, Powys, Wales :D

HalebiHabibti · 13/04/2023 13:19

Ah, just seen the advice to be more specific - righto.

San Simon monastery, north of Aleppo, in Syria. Also the Citadel and Old Souk in Aleppo (both now sadly rather less structurally intact).

Krak des Chevaliers, Syria
Palmyra, Syria
Jerash, Jordan
The King's Highway, Jordan
The Classic Cars Museum in Sharjah, UAE

Dartmoor Prison museum, Dartmoor, England

Still no takers for the Cat Museum, Sarawak?

Ooh@Azure what’s Tahiti like please? On my bucket list since saw pictures but don’t want it to be a disappointment…

The main island of Tahiti has the capital Papeete so includes a small urbanised area. The first time I went (a long time ago) I was by myself, so hired a car and drove around the island, taking in a Gauguin museum, lush greenery and idyllic beaches. It was a shame not to have someone there experiencing it with me, especially when asked to take photos of numerous couples. Moorea is a short boat ride or flight on a little plane away, and I think still the most beautiful place I've been to. I would love to explore some of the further away islands, and other nations in the Pacific. Not exactly handy to get there from the UK though; the flights I took went to / from Easter Island and Sydney.

Azure · 13/04/2023 14:55

Catching up on other places mentioned but possibly not claimed yet, I've been on Vatnajokull Glacier in Iceland, to Easter Island, and the shell grotto in Margate. Central Asia is a massive gap in my travelling experience.

Santasoorplooms · 13/04/2023 15:01

Has anyone else been on the crumbly, slightly terrifying, Giurgiu-Rousse Friendship Bridge?

BriceNobeslovesMurielHeslop · 13/04/2023 16:01

We’re still a long way from the finish line,
but I’m going to through my hat in for me three weeks previously stated

  • Santo, Tx
  • Round Top, Tx
  • The Museum of Communism, Warsaw
