New 7 Wonders

A revised version of the Seven Wonders of the World was published last weekend. I’m always sceptical of any lists compiled from votes, text messages, etc, but it’s pretty hard to argue with the final list.

The new Seven Wonders are deemed to be:

· The Great Wall of China
· Petra, Jordan
· The Colosseum, Italy
· The Taj Mahal, India
· Chichén Itzá, Mexico
· Machu Picchu, Peru
· Christ the Redeemer statue, Brazil

The Pyramids of Giza, as the only remaining of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World, was made an honorary new Seven Wonder.

I thought I was well-travelled, but the Colosseum and the Pyramids are the only places on this list that I have visited. I clearly need a few more holidays.
