visit the seven wonders of the world

Well.. I’d forgotten all about this! But I’ve been to the Roman Colloseum and the Great Wall of China. This summer I will hopefully get to see the Great Barrier Reef! :)

And now the Taj Mahal.

After reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonders_of_the_World

I’m not quite sure where I’m supposed to go to complete this one!! One thing is for sure though, I haven’t visited anything on any of these lists, so I guess I could start anywhere!!

have visited the Taj Mahal some years back..
seen the pyramids this year…
5 more to go…

So far I’ve visited: (1) Chichen Itza and (2) the Roman Colosseum. I plan to visit the Great Pyramid in September.

I can now add Chichen Itza to the list.

Saw this two weeks ago on a month long backpacking trip throughout India, It was absolutly amazing…although my favorite thing in Agra was the Agra Fort which i didn’t expect it to top the Taj but it did. Seeing the palace of the royal Mughal family was quite fascinating with a beautiful view of the Taj from across the river.

I saw this in 1997, my first experience travelling I went on a school trip through Switzerland and Italy.

...specifically angkor wat. I am going to start planning everything out financially and hopefully, I will see 1 – 2 sites per year.
