Top 5 Destinations You MUST See?

[Durham Toffee]

I haven't been able to travel much due to various different factors, but there are five places that I dream of visiting. There aren't JUST five places, but I've narrowed them down.

Hopefully, one day, I'll get the chance to visit maybe one or two of these places. There's a definite theme - mountains, forests, snow, Germanic architecture, a body of water...

I don't really like the sun!

If you HAD to, where are the top five places you just HAVE to visit in your life?


For me:

Aalesund, Norway

Lofoten, Norway

Villach, Austria

Fussen, Germany

Luzern, Switzerland

Used to do loads, until the kids came along and then it all stopped.

We used to fly camp all over the Lakes and Snowdonia.

Had a few run ins with gamekeepers and landowners over the years

Love the Idea of wild camping. I do it now with my camper van - just find a quiet lay by out of the way to stop over in. Live in fear that some spoilsport landowner will, for no apparent reason move you on. Does my head in that so many car parks have height barriers in that means I can't use them. I suppose it's local councillors protecting their mates who'd like to have your cash to kip overnight on their land.
