I think this might just be the most stunning man-made place that i've ever been, I could have stayed all day and kept walking round and discovering more bits. As a slightly odd bonus, you can also learn all about Omar Sharif, who owned the place for less than a day before he lost it in a card game!

What a gorgeous place for Parliament to hang out! I have to say i'm not too sure about the modern extension, but I could sit and look at the facade all day. So elegant!

We had to go here because of the name, and we were actually very pleased we did! It's one of Bangkok's most important temples, and in my opinion the most beautiful. It has a serenity to it that is very pleasing.

I have never been to a better cactus garden! There is so much to see here and it's so exquisitely laid you you feel calm and excited all at once! I think Manrique is great.

If you can fight your way into having a clear view the clock really is something pretty special. It's best to go see it twice, once when it's striking so you can see the full show, but also when it's not so you can get a closer look at the stunning face.
