    this is a bit of fun.

    Have you been where the Queen’s been?

    I scored 39 out of 116 – but to be fair, a lot of them were visited as a kid with my mum and dad, rather than as a paying adult. My own kids wouldn’t come close to that number!

    Just 15 here – but all visited (and paid for) as an “adult”. 😀
    The world’s a big ol’ place eh? Lots to see.

    A pitiful 26.

    Mrs North would do well – she went to 9 countries in a six month period a few years ago. All with work….

    plus Greece and Taiwan which apparently she hasn’t.

    Surely she’s been to Greece? or is the DoE not welcome?

    I didn’t include Belgium as I can’t be sure if I have ever been there, though I think I might have once (school coach trip to Germany)- would I have noticed? 🙂

    Point of order: I’m not sure sitting in a bus as it drives through somewhere to get somewhere else is quite the same as “visiting”.

    Likewise a business trip of airport->industrial estate->airport is hardly exploring the local culture. 😀

    Otherwise you might as well count countries where you just stopped to change planes. 😆

    24 if you include Greece and Taiwan.

    I must have had 20 trips to Germany, Sweden and Poland though so that should earn me a Chufty Badge at the very least.

    Nearly went to Belgium once, but I woke up just as my train was about to leave my station in France and got off.

    It might have been quicker to list the countries where the Queen has not been, but you have 😉

    Looks like 40 on the Queen’s list, plus a few others that aren’t… However I think the total for anything other than work is about 3 – I’m never in a desperate rush to travel as part of my holidays 😉
