(Mind you - we all knew it.......)

 

Third best?

Travesty.

 

Definate travasty, which came first and second?

 

This was the top 10:

1 Sikkim, India
2 The Kimberley, Australia
3 Yorkshire, UK
4 Hokuriku, Japan
5 Texas, USA
6 Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe & Zambia
7 Mallorca, Spain
8 West Coast, New Zealand
9 Hunan, China
10 Ha'apai, Tonga

How the **** Texas is fifth I have no idea. Nowhere near the best place in the US.

 

Apparently Sikkim in India and The Kimberley in Australia. I think it's in that order.

 

I expected New Zealand to be up there, it's an amazing country.
