Where has everyone been?
Found this nice little site that shows where you have been in the world and disturbingly it turns out I have only ever visited 9% of all Countries on the Planet (guess I wont be making any plans to retire on travel writing just yet then...
)
Any Michael Palin types on this forum?

LOL - One of the Norwegian Islands (havent actually been there) it comes automatically when you tick Norway. Although when I was in Norway I got sent by my company up to Tromso & Narvik which is about 250kms inside the Arctic Circle. 18th Dec they sent me so I had midwinter's day with 45 mins daylight. :scared:
Not a pleasant experience. It was something like -39 dec C. Yuck.

Still, at least you've experienced it!
I haven't even been to Scandavia, or Italy, or, or, or, or....
Our own fault though...We've been to France twice, and we don't even really like it!
