Where in the world?

[flirty41]

If you could go to anywhere in the world, where would you go? My choice would be Egypt, for all that ancient history.

You lot certainly get about don't you!! Craig - I had a quick look at your website - excellent stuff - well done! Shall we turn this thread into a travel brochure?! Thanks everyone for your answers - keep 'em coming if you like! :-)

I would go to Bora Bora with a lover; and another place I'd like to go for some reason, is travelling round Madagascar. Also Thailand. I went to Sri Lanka once and loved it and would like to go back. I could go on.

I recommend Mexico - wonderful place and people. Also Guatemala, but a bent border guard there did relieve me of the equivalent of 65p in unofficial "tax" to cross the border, so Mexico is my first choice.

I'm just back home (Edinburgh) after ten days in New York - five in the city, five upstate in the middle of the Adirondacks. The combination of noisy and utterly peaceful was quite wonderful. I'd like to go back and do more of that.

To Ned Flanders The island used in teh movie 'The Beach' is Ko Phi Phi in Thailand, a boat trip from the more well known island resort of Koh Samui I went to Phi Phi some 12 years ago and it was awesomely beautiful. However, I do not intend going back as there has been a lot of development there, hotels being built and the film crew dug up the beach and repleanted it because paradise wasn't beautiful enough for them. There was also CGI trickery used to make the lagoon ompletely closed. In real life there is a narrow gap out to the sea. But Phi Phi is offered as a day trip from Samui and, because of the despoiling development, now you can book to stay there.

Hey, Ravenhair's back - welcome 'home'! Vittoria - Bora Bora with a lover sounds interesting! And Pinotage - that's for the details about 'The Beach'. Thanks everyone for all your answers. I think we've nearly circled the world!

I'd go to Lhasa, Tibet. For a year at least.
