Robben island. Place is amazing and to be taken around by people who were incarcerated there was even more amazing and something that you won't be able to do for ever!

Not a landmark and not a tourist attraction but I was very surprised and intrigued by the fog of the Californian coast in the summer, gobsmacked by it. Does it all the time by all accounts but I've never heard of it or seen it before. It's like it's just waiting off the coast and will come in and swallow everything at some point. Bit like the UFO's hovering above the city in the film Independence Day.

Did you walk the Inca trail to get there? I really, really need to do that one day - I can imagine it's just totally breathtaking |

Helicopter trip from Vegas over the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon probably the best value $400 I've ever spent, well worth it

New York City. You expect a lot from it and yet it somehow manages to deliver and exceed expectations. I have never known anyone not be blown away by the place.

New Zealand.
Awe inspiring, beautiful, fascinating. People couldn't be friendlier. And so much to do
Met a family at the airport when we left, who had been there two weeks and had done completely different stuff to us but had an equally fabulous time.
If I had gone there when I was 20, I'd never have come home.
