Hog Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Where in the world would you like to visit which is off the beaten path?Me...I have been to UAE twice and love it but would love to visit some arabic countries that are not known for tourism. For some reason I would love to check out Iran although I doubt it would be safe to do so.Also the Polynesian Micro Islands (seems like paradise).What about you?

RossP Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Whilst i've been back in Elgin this summer, to avoid mind numbing boredom me and my mates have held a weekly 'adventure sunday': where we find a random place somewhere in the coast (north or west), and see what there is to do. We take our tour van, so we can fit inflatable dinghy's, inflatable tubes, body boards etc.Last weekend involved a 15mile trek from Rothes to Fochabers down the river spey on inflatables. It took 4 and a half hours, left us all sunburnt, with symptoms of hypothermia, and bruises all over from the frequent rapids, but it was a great laugh. It was the first time i'd ever seen a Heron, as well as a salmon jumping just next to us.There's still so much of undiscovered Scotland i'd like to see. Especially the west coast.

Chris Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 It was the first time i'd ever seen a HeronReally? wow. I saw a heron in the river cowie at Stonehaven a couple of weeks ago. Saw another one in Cruden Bay at the start of the summer. They're quite common.But I agree about Scotland. It's nice to go abroad and see the world but it's also good to see the rest of your own country as well. We have stunning scenery here and it's all within a few hours drive.

mcsheepie Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Peru is on my list of places to go, i'm hoping to go in the next couple of years and do the 4 day hike up to Machu Picchu. Mexico was also on my list but i'm doing that later in the year, going to visit the Mayan sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_inthehills Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Libya.I went to Tripoli a few years back with work. It was really nice. OK, so they don't allow alcohol, but the folk were real friendly and weren't western hating as I expected.Tripoli was an Italian colony for ages before they won independence. The building are Italian design with arabic touches and the food is Italian with spices. The food was really good, but they didn't have very much of it.There are two ruined cities out in the desert, almost intact from the time they were swallowed by the sand. You can wander around them and find coins and pottery just lying around. There were very few tourists. A very cool place just now.pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
