Next match is an interesting one. Hard for me to call. And JP Liz, even if you're on boards+1 you keep going girl, love having you here!

Are you sure? I think it's 6-5 to the Tower Bridge

Again, an easy one for me (maybe because I've seen one, and not the other).


Stari Most for me - a beautiful bridge, in a lovely town, in a lovely part of the world - and a potent and poignant symbol of the recent war.

Irish Aris

Stari Most Bridge here.
Very picturesque.

The scale of Petra I think just pips the setting of the bridge. So Petra for me.

Staring Most Bridge - cute little village with more to see and explore probably

Cosmo Kramer

Stari Most for me. One of my absolute favourite landmarks that I have visited anywhere. Visually interesting and also geopolitically symbolic.

Hummmmm


An awful lot depends on the criteria that you go by - and I tend to alter mine as I feel like it.


Petra is significant in a number of ways, but Stari Most Bridge I've seen it its glorious, lovely village, lovely people. Have to go back there.

I was hoping that mightn't get noticed! Disappointed to see the glacier go, especially to Tower Bridge.

Sanctuary of Truth. I can imagine a fight to the death in front of it.

Pripyat.

Not an overall winner, but I think the Sanctuary's time has come, nice and all as it is. It's just a temple, and Pripyat is an eerie, chilling place.

ozzy jr

Not mad on either. I was due to go to Thailand this year. Whereabouts is it?

My vote is for the Thailand one.

Cosmo Kramer

Sanctuary of truth - nice building, nice setting.

Purgative

Sanctuary of Truth looks fantastic and the other thing is just way too depressing.

Pripyat

A tragic story, leaving an abandoned town.
A real man-made landmark

South of Bangkok, about 90ish mins by taxi. I went to it on a day spin, was brilliant

So gets my vote here
