Darned cockwombles.
I realised when visiting Cambodia last year that, while being all too aware that I myself am a tourist like any other, i tend to have fonder recollections of those places that haven't been overrun by Westerners who seem a little unsure as to what country they might even be in, not to mention having virtually no interest in anything beyond where to get a beer...:slanted:
So, I'm looking for places that can still genuinely be considered truly 'off the beaten track'. These need not be brutally difficult to get to: some places simply have inadequate PR, thank goodness.
My picks to start off:
Bosnia - beautiful, fascinating and relatively tourist-free;
Northern Portugal - some stunning architecture here, and nary a tourist to be seen. Out-Greeces Greece...;
Lebanon - not the world's friendliest country in my experience, but still incredible;
Moscow - still not attracting the tourists in off-putting numbers.
