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!

Overnight in a log cabin on the summit of grand canyon. 2 nights.

South side?

Mistymountain · 23/07/2024 18:02

The tunnel under the River ELY connecting Cardiff and Penarth, which was closed off 50 odd years ago.
I walked right across the top of Victoria falls during a drought. I climbed up Mt Pele in Martinique.

I stayed in a tent half way down the Angel trail in the Grand Canyon. I had to shake a scorpion out of my boot in the morning

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.

I've stayed in Tenderloin! Cool hotel, but the area is a nightmare.

Been to Sumatra!
Roatan anyone?
Gili islands?
Ouagadougou?

I’ve been to Ougadougou… it was Christmas time and was invited to an American party with carols around a piano. Felt like something out of a Hallmark movie, if we hadn’t been in the middle of Burkina Faso.

AnnaBegins · 23/07/2024 18:39

@olidora I've been to Quadra island! Loved the craft places!
