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....

I've been there believe it or not! Also been to Muktinath and Caprivi Strip from the previous thread - not sure if anyone else had already mentioned them?

From this thread I don't think anyone had replied to Morogoro in Tanzania and to Great Zimbabwe` - been there. Plus to Ngorongoro and Arusha.
