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!

Mustique

Had breakfast at the Cotton House Hotel (many moons ago)

Timbuktu (Mali)
Wadi Hadrammat (Yemen)
Omo Valley (Eithiopia)

This is rather identifying so I've name-changed!
Suzhou, China
Nagasaki, Japan
Asuncion, Paraguay

@TeenToTwenties I love both! Next on the list is spending the night at Seymour Tower but I need to come to terms with the rather rough and ready bathroom situation first

Karachi, Pakistan

Constanta, Romania
The Queen's Box in the Royal Albert Hall

Kalbarri, W Australia
United Nations, NYC
Fukushima, Japan (site of the broken nuclear power station!)

Places I've slept (misspent youth edition):

The Round House, Chalk Farm, when it was empty and closed up

On top of a haystack, Trentino

No Man's Land, Berlin (behind the East Side Gallery section of the Berlin Wall), about 1991

Belas Knap, Gloucestershire
Hammerfest, Norway
Southfork Ranch, Dallas

Papua New Guinea
Bundanoon, Australia
Backstage with the Foo Fighters

I've been to North Cape

I've been to Tenderloin. It's pretty close to Nob Hill, which is where I was heading!

Bettembos, France
Qingdao beach, China
Long Beach Antique Market, CA

The Ultimate Family Suite on the Symphony of the Seas

Stationers Hall in London

Havneby on the Danish island of Romo

That’s what I wondered. I’ve been to Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, USSR… a varied childhood!

Whatever happens, I want to go to all the places on this thread!!

I have also been to Jinja in Uganda, but don't think I've been to any of the others.

Here's my three:

• Bamenda, Cameroon
• Nyamata church genocide memorial, Rwanda
• The Ethiopian Embassy in Washington DC.

@Bitteralmond I've been to Kazbegi! I went in 2003 and apparently the name has changed since then. The church in Gergeti was lovely! So you've probably been to one of mine, the Jvari Pass.

@silverbirches I've been to Tsavo West but not to Lake Jipe - I'm guessing there's some good birdwatching there (like Lake Naivasha), are you a twitcher?

Belas Knap, Gloucestershire

I've been there.

My 3 I think will be
Greenland
The Spotted Lake near Osoyoos BC
Lava Falls, Colorado river.

The conservation department of the Bodleian Library

@Bananalanacake I've been to Stationers' Hall for a corporate AGM. Spent more time looking at the lovely stained glass than concentrating on whoever was talking...

Backstage with the Foo Fighters isn't a place. But backstage at Glastonbury would be. Where I have been.

Harvard as a visitor
Scheindel

Timbuktu

Had a BBQ at the bottom of the Holmenkollbakken ski jump near Oslo.

Djibouti
Diego Garcia
Kosovo
Accession Island
Falklands
and Hythe in Hampshire 😁

I’ve been to Qacha’s Nek, Lestho when passing between the two countries.

Ruacana Falls, Angola (very beautiful)
