Stuart Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I've done the Grand Canyon, Niagara and Iceland. The Grand Canyon wins as an individual spectacle but, yes, Iceland very close second and more different things to see there. I'll go back to both but won't go back to Niagara (and I flew the falls in the front seat of a helicopter) - I actually think Gulf Foss in Iceland is better than Niagara Falls. And if you do go to Iceland, whatever you do don't miss Jokulsarlon. It's a long drive from Rekjavik but I wouldn't have missed it for anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Of the places I've been the swamps of louisiana just about win for me. Amazing place, like another planet. For perspective I'd put it above the Grand Canyon (let down for me), lived in South Korea for 6 months and got the ferry over to Japan, Lapland, seen the Pyramids, Chichen Itza at the equinox which was pretty amazing and done a fair bit of Scubd Diving. Probably some stuff I've forgotten about too but my point was it was flying round a bayou on a fan boat messing around with the 'gators that really got me. Golden gate Bridge and Alcatraz too, they're up there as pretty cool places. The bridge is crazy to drive over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Switzerland does it for me. The Bernese Oberland. This is the North Face of the Eiger which has a fascinating history as in the past climbers have died trying to reach it's summit. If you go there Russ, try and go on The Glacier Express, which is a train journey that takes you right through Switzerland's very stunning scenery. July is a good month to go and it is only 1.5 hour flight from Birmingham. The chocolate isn't bad over there too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Colonial Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Either San Diego, St Lucia, Mauritius, or Barbados please. Just came back from Barbados and could happily retire there if I hit the lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Ooooh there's so many, as Robin says Iguazzu is amazing as long as your prepared to get wet, we also flew over them in a Helicopter. But for me it has to be Bangaram Island in the Lakshadweep islands, off the west coast of India. No roads, no motor vehicles, no tv, no radio, no internet, no phones, just a total chill out set in a turquoise lagoon, we learned to dive there in 1998 and we've been back once since.

Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Diving at Sipidan Kapalai resort just off Borneo, amazing dives and incredible place, you could only get there by boat and it was just stunning, even for the wife who wasn't diving. http://www.sipadan.com/Kapalai-Resorts.php?gclid=CjwKEAiA7ejCBRDlp8uF6ezPnjoSJAAPED7MTTUBZgz6ZWDcROVTHS90Cyor1GdpylD3zF7_OOcNVhoC4Ejw_wcB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of diving - did some Cenote diving in Mexico at Dos Ojos - that was pretty memorable. That part of Mexico is also one one my favourite holiday locations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
