Best Places You've Been To Options

[blaarg]

I know that a lot of techsans do a lot of traveling, so I thought that it would be cool to post some pics of the coolest places that you have ever visited.
I just got back from a little Scandinavian stint earlier today and thought I would share some pics of absolutely the most spectacularly awesome thing I have ever done/seen/etc...



For those to find out more about the location it's called Kjeragbolten in Southwestern Norway (near the city of Stavanger). Interestingly, a friend pointed it out that it was a location for one of the wherethehellismatt videos.

Here is the brief wiki entries on the boulder and the mountain:

When I went there was a group of seven BASE jumpers who jumped off it. It was pretty sweet to witness it.

Also, I went to another crazy place in the fjord called Preikestolen, which is this flat triangular overhang about 800m high.



In both places, there are no railings or nettings or any safety precautions. It's reported that there have been no accidental deaths (which I can see because people are SUPER cautious) even with people hanging off/dangling over the edge. Crazy!

I just thought I would share a crazy seldom visited/known area of the world that turns out to be pretty cool. I'm interested to see photos/hear stories about other areas.

Don't have pics, but one of the coolest places I've seen was up in the mountains in Colorado. We were headed up there for Tech vs CU, and we pulled up to this rest stop at like 10:30PM, was in the middle of nowhere up in the mountains, had ONE bare bulb light, and we unscrewed that and wow the sky was amazing, you could see so many stars it was crazy, and the shooting stars were almost constant, probably 20-30 per minute. Very neat place.

I think Hawaii was my favorite place I've been to thus far.

I looked at the one with the closest views of people and didn't even get hard. I'm loosing it!

Man that's nuts... Do they all walk there? Hell even parking your bike somewhere over there would get crowded... much less cars.

[jonathan83]

actually there arent many bikes here (not like china), but im sure there are places across town to park. however most people probably use public transport because its really good here.

its not *that* bad as you'd imagine. and, there are so many 20 something girls just walking around together. makes it all worth it!

[Mommy]

I think it would be super fun to say you were on a beach with 600k other people. heh

I think Salzburg is a great place.

We just got back from our honeymoon in Belize (San Pedro), talk about being remote. Very few cars on the island since the main mode of transportation is bikes and golf carts.

Life was just slower.
