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!

Romania during the communist regime (1970s)
Black Sail Youth Hostel
Slept in a slate mine in N Wales

Piwani, Zanzibar

Nagarkot in Nepal to get a view of Everest
Dragon Paradise Park in Suphanburi, Thailand
Dangjiacun ancient village in Shaanxi, China

I really really want to go to Moldova

Barra de Navidad, Mexico
Dawson Creek, Canada
Aegina, Greece

Eswatini, previously Swaziland.

I've been there, I'm afraid.

Varosha. (An area of Famagusta, Cyprus, which was until recently walled off and abandoned. It being opened up to tourists is… controversial)

Petra in Jordan

Masada (in Israel - not exactly on most people’s tourist lists right now.)

Kourou Space Centre, French Guiana

Luganville, Vanuatu

Husavik, Iceland

On scaffolding up the facade of Peterborough Cathedral, looking close-up at the statues (would have got even higher if this had not been the day I found out that vertigo kicked in at a certain level, having had few heights reactions before then.)

In the cupola of Queen's College, Oxford.

In a very hidden flat that is tucked into a fairly famous Liverpool church tower (for some years pre-1999ish, lived in by a hermit).

Black rock desert, Nevada
Slept in a cave in Coober Pedy, Australia
Varkala in Kerala

Been to Petra!

I’ve been to the Old Forge - sailing on the lovely Eda Frandsen
www.eda-frandsen.co.uk/about

Nagin lake, Srinigar

Christmas Island

Kiribati

Tuvalu

I live a few miles away from Bunratty Castle. It’s in Ireland, not “Eire”.

Muktinath, Nepal
Dhaka, Bangladesh
Ramallah: Palestine

I've been to these already mentioned

Alice Springs - twice
Katherine, Aus
Petra
Mijas
Schladming
Hythe, Hampshire and Hythe Kent!
Page, Arizona
Control centre of CERN, not the tunnels sadly
Coober Pedy, Aus - daytime visit, not overnight

I've been to these-
Dungeness nuclear power station - used to be the go-to school trip back in the

day
Ngorongoro crater, Tanzania
Zhongwei, north west China
Petrified Forest, Arizona
Meteor crater, Arizona

Anyone would think I like Arizona!

Great thread.

I’ve been to Tuvalu, Kiribati, Luganville, Ngorongoro Crater, Pwani, Zanzibar, Muktinath.

I’ve also been to all the Japanese cities mentioned, Tahiti and Nauru, Hat Yai, Sumatra, Port Arthur, Botswana and Machu Picchu.

My 3 are:

Isle of Pines, New Caledonia
Soweto
Suva, Fiji

Chandelier tree California
Wigwam Motel on the old Route 66
Formentera
Solvang

Too bad this one fizzled out... 🤷‍♀️

Jerusalem
Buckingham Palace when closed to the public
Lots of military bases/bunkers/planes, favourite was a chinook
Himalayas

Bnei Brak (Tel Aviv)
Caye Caulker (Belize)

I can add to this now!

The Lost and Found at Tokyo Station (thanks kiddo)
'Your Name' stairs in Tokyo
'adult' section in Donki after taking a wrong turning looking for the stationery section

I haven't been to Caye Caulker, but I've heard of it because of this book.
It's brilliant BTW, v funny, all of his books are.

I've been to none of these! Welcome to the thread!
