In October 2002, the BBC commissioned a poll to determine the 50 places people most wanted to see before they died.
Having looked through the list I discovered I had visited more than half of them. Below is the list of places in order, and the ones I have seen, and are still to see. When I get around to it, I will insert photos of the places I have visited.
