It's a large world after all.
The Times Online recently listed the 25 best spots to see around the world. And now I've got the travel bug again. I've been to only 3 of these so far (and very close to 2 more.) Why do we only get 2 weeks vacation in the US?
The 25 Wonders of the World
1 Salt flats of Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
2 Uluru or Ayers Rock, Australia
5 “Fairy chimneys” and caves of Cappadocia, Turkey
7 Petra, the city carved from stone in the Jordanian desert
9 Sagrada Familia, Gaudí’s masterpiece in Barcelona
10 Perito Moreno glacier, Patagonia
11 Sistine Chapel, Rome
14 The canals and palaces of Venice
15 Taking a camel train across the Sahara
17 Victoria Falls, Zambia and Zimbabwe
18 Paddling in the Barrier Reef, Belize
19 Taj Mahal, India
20 Maya ruins of Mexico and Guatemala
21 Stone giants of Easter Island
22 Grand Mosque, Djenné, Mali
23 The temptations of Las Vegas
24 Forbidden City, China
25 Itaipú, the world’s biggest dam, Paraguay and Brazil
How many have you seen? Tell me all about them! What's worth doing and what's not?
