Skegness has finally won worldwide fame and it's now up there with the greats according to Destination Tips. :thumb:
We made the Top Ten as follow:
1. Kiev, Ukraine
2. Port au Prince, Haiti
3. Damascus, Syria
4. Mogadishu, Somalia
5. Pyongyang, North Korea
6. Ciudad Juarez, Mexico
7. Bogota, Colombia
8. Dhaka, Bangladesh
9. Skegness, Lincolnshire
10. Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
Apparently, Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea is "infamous for its high crime, machete-carrying locals and carjacking" and Skeggy still beats it. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
Okay, I shouldn't get carried away with pride because on the down-side, we didn't beat ...
o Ciudad Juaraz, in Mexico,
o Mogadishu in Somalia or
o Port au Prince in Haiti.
These are all places where "kidnap, imprisonment or murder are serious risks" so I guess we will just have to try that bit harder next year.
In the meantime, Skegness is a great place to send your mother-in-law for her holidays ... :thumb:
... if she still refuses to go to Somalia! :whistle:
