I took interesting to mean some of the most dangerous spots I have been. Since you put it that way the Galapagos Islands, Machu Pichu, Cambodian torture camps, the Egyptian pyramids and the Golden Temple.

I like beach front resorts. I wondered off the beaten path on a trip to Varadero.  That was dangerous.

The Mississippi river!  I liked Mark Twain as a kid.  People talk about the Mississippi - I've always wanted to see it.  It's amazing.  It looks like the Fraser river - it's wide and muddy.  They said it was 200 feet deep at its deepest point.



We have a sugar factory in Vancouver so I shouldn't be impressed but they have a sugar factory there in New Orleans on the Mississippi - the air smelled like sweet sugar  :6:   So nice.

Yes.



At that time it was owned by Mdme Tussauds, and probably still is. So it had a lot of wax figures scattered around in period dress.



I gather its more "theme park" than static display now. Back then, it cost about 8 quid, and you could walk around anywhere.



I believe it now costs a family of 4 100 pounds to get in.

The French Polynesian islands of Papeete, Moorea, Huahine, Bora Bora, and the atolls in that region.



What is an atoll?



An atoll, sometimes called a coral atoll, is a ring-shaped coral reef including a coral rim that encircles a lagoon partially or completely.

I like Monument Valley too, on the Arizona and Utah state lines. I enjoyed camping in the camp grounds there. These two formations are called the "Mittens."
