No didn't make it into Russia, had planned to but even though the Iron Curtain had fallen the Russian authorities needed a detailed itinerary and a list of the roads to be travelled before they would grant a visa, when travelling by motorhome, and this just did not suit us as we moved around based on the weather, what we found and our mood on the day, so we gave it a miss. Got within a few kMs of the border at one stage.

Bay of Islands, North Island New Zealand.

People swim in summer, but the water is still fairly cool as the Bay of Island is located fairly south at 35 degrees south latitude, which for someone from the tropics at the time was cool.

World Trade centre, New York USA. Not there now, but I was fortunate to be able to see the view from the top of one of the towers back in the early 90s.

Yeah, I've been to the Top of the World Trade Center. But how can I name a new place on the planet that Neddy has not visited. How about the tyrol Alps in Austria for the Innsbruck Winter Olympics.

Yes, I've travelled over the alps throughout Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland, over every mountain pass I could find, but I've never been to any Olympics, summer or winter.

Valletta harbour, Malta

Oh Dear, looks like the urban renewal program missed that section of Detroit, I landed there on that previously mentioned flight from New York to Los Angeles, but we didn't even leave the aircraft, only there to set a few down and collect a few additional passengers. Didn't see much of the place from the air.

But I have visited the Sydney Opera House, Sydney, NSW, Australia.

Yes, I've been to Perth several times, the most memorable was a Linux conference when I had breakfast one morning with Linus Torvalds the designer of Linux.

No, not been to Nova Scotia, in fact the only parts of Canada I have been are Ontario at Niagara Falls and British Columbia, where I traveled extensively.

But I have been to Jostedalsbreen Glacier Norway

This is a huge Glacier, take a look at the people hiking on it.
