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....

@MrsHamlet Santorini, Yes. Tomato museum, no. How about Mykonos, Paros, or Aegina?

I’ve been to Mykonos and Paros, in the late 80s.

@SiobhanSharpe
yes! Husband enthralled especially as the day we visited they had turned on an engine that is rarely turned on and people had visited especially to see it in action.
I’ll raise you Streatham Old Engine ,Ely.

I've been to Stretham Old Engine (sorry!)

@Mumtobabyhavoc this is my first trip to Greece, so just the tomato museum this time. It's worth a trip.

I've been to Paros many moons ago.

@NeedToKnow101 @WiseUpJanetWeiss @MrsHamlet @BinturongsSmellOfPopcorn

I didn't think Greek locations would stand long. I've already mentioned Corfu, but anyone else to the (infamous) Pink Palace there?

No where's the Pink Palace? Is it a club? I've been to Corfu loads of times, love it. Have you been to the nudist beach midway down the west side?

prettybird · 15/04/2023 12:36

Who's been to Nikopolis (near Preveza)?

Magnoliainbloom · 15/04/2023 13:11

Socotra

Love this thread!
Already posted but top of the BT tower London (or GPO tower as it used to be ) and Perhentian islands.

Elodie09 · 15/04/2023 13:50

Also been inside the circle at Stonehenge , eerie, very eerie even though I was very young.

SquareRootOfAllEvil · 15/04/2023 14:05

@ShanghaiDiva I’ve been to Broome!

Mumtobabyhavoc · 15/04/2023 16:51

@NeedToKnow101 it's a backpackers. Just googled to see if it's still there - it is. Was a total party place. Re your q - yep. Had forgotten!

OldHouseLover · 16/04/2023 11:15

I posted on the other thread & don't think anyone else said they'd been to

Helgoland- an island in the North Sea off the coast of Hamburg

Hangzhou in China

Or Jerome ghost town in Arizona?

EducatingArti · 14/04/2023 13:10

Noone has claimed Hetty Peglar's Tump or sleeping in a Welsh slate mine yet.

I've been to Hetty Peglar's.
Does bouncing in a Welsh slate mine count?

whoruntheworldgirls · 16/04/2023 12:23

Sharks cove, Oahu

EducatingArti · 16/04/2023 12:51

I guess @MrsTerryPratchett will have to adjudicate on that one!

Been to Bryce Canyon, it was amazing!

MrsHamlet · 18/04/2023 18:03

I've also been to Bryce Canyon

WiseUpJanetWeiss · 20/04/2023 07:56

I’ve been to Bryce Canyon too. Going again in July!

Keeping it relatively local, how about the Thunderbird restaurant at Mount Carmel Junction (excellent hummingbird viewing whilst eating breakfast).

Or in the next state, Jacob Lake Inn in Arizona.

Think I’m winning with Socotra….
