Lived in Korea for a year and saw a world cup game on the island, and did not think it should make the list. | How about the Norwegian Fjords? Dee and Lorna Dee and Lorna Post Count: 10 Msg: #7 15 weeks ago, September 23rd 2009 | We were surprised that the Cliffs of Moher were on the list, given that they're not even UNESCO world heritage listed (at this stage anyway). They are beautiful, but we're not sure if they're on quite the same scale as some of the other finalists... | Out of the others, we've only seen 4 - Great Barrier Reef, Halong Bay, Iguazu Falls and the Grand Canyon (from the air) - and even out of those 4, we'd be hard-pressed to pick a favourite!!

I have only visited 2 of the ones on the list. The other being Vesuvius. I am astonished that I have visited over 40 countries, and still only seen 2 items on a list such as this.

As a "region", Galapagos was amazing. | But my bet is that Galapagos is going to make it....for sure. Number of Users: 8 | Number of Posts: 9 | ||||||||||||||||||
