Have you been to a place no one else has been to? AGAIN!

[MrsTerryPratchett]

Hi

Someone mentioned enjoying this thread so I thought I'd do another one. IIRC you had to post three places and other MNers said if they'd been there. If they hadn't, you won my undying respect.

No impossible places like the inside of a nuclear reactor this time. As small as a pub, as big as a country.

I'll start:

Tikal, Guatemala
Alice Springs, Australia (easy one!)
Jinja, Uganda

GO!

Uzbekistan
North Cape
Overnight at Mont St Michel

Tahiti
Roratonga (Cook Islands)
Broome (Western Aus)

Haven't been to anywhere already mentioned.

I was born in Gilgit-Baltistan, not many people go there on tours etc.

Mont St Michel I have but none of the others.

I think @Simonjt you were on the last thread!

Tenderlojn district of San Francisco (admittedly lost! funny story).

Axat, Occitane region of southern France (cool pool).

Peñiscola, near Valencia, where part of El Cid was filmed.

Montserrat
Easter Island
Sumatra

I have been to Tahiti

I haven’t been to any of those!

• East Berlin (does this count) ??
• Inside a nuclear compartment on a submarine (had to promise I wasn’t pregnant first)
• The Pentagon

Iraq and Afghanistan

Tebellong and Qacha's Nek, Lesotho.

And Matatiele across the border in South Africa.

The top of our local TV transmitter
On an oil rig
In the private quarters of a royal household

I've also stood on top of many nuclear reactors, but that doesn't count apparently.

Nuclear reactors are very interesting. But I wanted places normies CAN go, even if they don't

Also a garden party at the American Embassy in Lesotho.

• Les Minquiers (Channel Islands. Pictured because I can't believe it's Britain 👀)
• Mariestad, Sweden
• Bethlehem, South Africa

I've been to Mont St. Michel but didn't stay overnight.

East Berlin is interesting. If somewhere doesn't exist anymore, does it count? Hmmmmmmm, don't know; I'll leave it to the group.

@elQuintoConyo I've been to the Tenderloin and to Peñiscola when I was a kid - much sniggering with DBro about the name...

My three:

• the Jvari pass on the Georgian Military Highway
• Umani Springs in the Kbwezi Forest, Kenya
• Gulangyu Island, Xiamen, Fujian Province in China

I've been to Tikal and Tahiti and am going to Uzbekistan later this year (exciting!)

Lhasa
Tehran
Ulan Bator

I have Ulaanbaatar! Сайн уу

Fatsa, Turkey
Kazbegi, Georgia
Suwon, South Korea

I have been to Mont St Michel.

Kohlapur
Buzet
Tean

A week camping at Bruce Rock.
Three nights camping at Ongerup.

Gizo, Solomon Islands. Lived there
Guam
Nauru

Lake Jipe - Kenya/Tanzania border

Ireland - Bedfordshire

Westonbirt Arboretum - Gloucestershire

I have been to Jinja, sorry. I passed through on my way to Bujagali Falls, which I went over on a raft and was one of the most terrifying things I have ever done!

I offer:

1. A night in a hammock at Calakmul.
2. The British House at the Olympics (there is one at every Olympics, but the one I went to was in Rio.)
3. On the top of the Pont du Gard.

@FoleyHuck I have been to the Ecrehous but not Les Minquiers.

I've realised two things:

I want to be friends with you all
My bucket list is too long
