I think it would be interesting to see how travelled our users are.

Please post photos of fporeign places that you have been to (either with work or on your travels) no hotlinks to brochures or the like, but digital photos taken by you or your mates on your jaunts around the world.

Evidently you dont have to post if you dont want to and ugly people can edit their eyes or whatever out of their photos to save their blushes!
Lets find out if we are insular or not!

Starter for 10.
Hiva Oa in the Marquesas!

Nuku Hiva - French Polynesia


Lago Argentina and Perito Moreno Glacier - Argentina

a friend in GG - South Atlantic


“Ace” Mel and Caroline - Cane Garden Bay, Tortolla

I also once spent £500 on a week for two in Prague which was cancelled due to my girlfriend buggering her leg slightly and her dad being a nob.

Regrettably, my photos are all in old school ‘hard’ form, but I will try to get to a scanner at some point within the next week or two and post some photos. :slight_smile: If I have a claim to fame, its that I have actually been to Timbucktu. :smiley:
