Is it weird that I have...

...been to Australia, America twice, Barbados, Cyprus, Spain, France, Switzerland and all of the Canary Islands. Yet I have never even gone to London which is just under 2 hours away on the train.

Infact, I have hardly been anywhere in the UK. My closest city is Birmingham yet I have only really ever really been to Liverpool as my uncle lives there and for the football, but apart from that it's only Wales a few times when I was younger and for the last 3 years to do my Duke of Edinburgh. But when people hear I have never even been to London they sound shocked.

I was just wondering is it strange I have been to all these fancy places abroad but not even my nations capital? Should I make a long journey seeing all the sights around the UK?

 

forget London ( unless staying for a weekend). best place to have a holiday in the UK is cornwall

 

Not that weird I suppose, as the reason you go abroad is for holidays, but you've probably never had reason to go to places in this Country except from the ones you mentioned.

I consider my situation to be weird as I have never ever been abroad! Been to London once (millennium dome), and the farthest i've ever gone from the Isle of Wight is the Lake District.

 

I wouldn't way it's weird but then I'm in a similar boat (although I have been to London)

I've been to:

Germany 3 times
France
Crete
Spain 3 times
Portugal 2 times
Greece
Turkey
Egypt
Israel
Bermuda
America 4 times
Hong kong
India
Switzerland

But I have visited our "beloved" capital a few times, I grew up in the Lake District, I've been to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Oban, Isle of Mull (Scotland), Dublin and Galway (Ireland) Various places in Wales, Isle of Man, Isle of Whyte, Cornwall and loads more places in the UK.

Don't forget though our Island is quite small and you can pretty much go from one end of the country to another in a day so don't forget places in the UK. One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen was on the road to Fort Williams in Scotland.
