Lonely planet just published their top 25 places to visit in the world. The USA has #21 Yosemite national park and #6 the Grand Canyon. It’s exciting this January to have seen #1 the temples of Angkor in Cambodia. Most interesting place I’ve ever seen. Review this list, make your dream vacation plans and enjoy!
#5. Taj Mahal, India
Acres of shimmering white marble, a few thousand semiprecious stones carved and inlaid in intricate Islamic patterns, all in perfect symmetry – the breathtaking mausoleum is the essence of architectural perfection.
#4. The Great Wall of China
It’s a myth that it can be seen from space, but this awe-inspiring maze of walls and fortifications stretching for an astonishing 5,500 miles across rugged landscape seem both infinite and indestructible.
#3. Machu Picchu, Peru
It’s not the outrageously dramatic Andean setting, nor the way that the city clings to impossibly precipitous slopes that makes Machu Picchu so mind-blowing – it’s the fact that no-one really knows what happened here.
#2. Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Stretching more than 1,860 miles up the northeastern coast of Australia, it’s home to the world’s largest network of coral reefs and thousands of species of fish and marine life.
#1. Temples of Angkor, Cambodia
Earlier this year I had the privilege to visit this magnificent masterpiece. The world’s greatest temple to the Hindu god Vishnu, the magnificent monument of Angkor Wat is the crowning glory in a complex of more than 1,000 temples, shrines and tombs that forms a virtual city of spires in the jungles of northern Cambodia.
