Tour the world

Post by viking33 »

Interesting site that links to a LOT of cities around the world. Give you a quicky video tour of these places and surrounding areas.

Buffalo?
Perth??

OK.
Buffalo spent 1m22s introducing us to the WNED logo. That's better than 1m 22s of waterfront or I-190 construction phase.
Perth (W.A.) were probably all too busy lying on the beach at Cottesloe.

That said - a Good Find; Thanks Bob.

The page for Geneva is very good (but I would say that, wouldn't i). Reminded me of a number of places I haven't been to in a while.

Thanks Bob :cheers:

Well, you know of my love for Bermuda but I think I would like to take an extended vacation in Fiji or Tahiti or one of the less populated islands there.
( if there IS such a thing these days? ) Dream on, Bob :exclamation: :cloud9:

Bob,
If you ever make it to Fiji, I can highly recommend the Blue Lagoon Cruise. Done it twice, once on the honeymoon; once 11 years later. Cruises the Yasawa islands which range from zero to a few thousands, depending on the island.

Bula! (Fiji bitter is a mighty fine brew ...) :cheers:

I'd love to revisit the land of my birth, and also cruise around the waters that the Bounty cruised. But #1 on my "Bucket List" is to sail around the Greek Isles :-)

I love your Great Smoky Mtns of TN for sure!!! Not only stunningly beautiful, but the panoramic views are breathtakingly show stoppers especially in the Autumnal months. I have a friend in the Etowah area. How many counties there are "dry"?

Hey Jude,
Hello... there seems to be many "dry counties " in NE. Tennessee.. I live in Carter county ( rural mountains) and some towns have their own rules, and that vary one from another. Not familiar enough to give an actual count .... don't travel all that much. Etowah is way south of me and not as mountainous. Guess that's why "moonshine" is still so popular ( patchwork of dry counties )...... Wouldn't trade with any place else ... as Tennessee is a "Great Free State" comparing to NY where i escaped from...."The land of NO! " Regards Fred

I'm sure they're all fine places but you really ought to visit my part of the world. If the locals are to be believed, it has divine approval:
