4. Lee River, China (conical limestone peaks)

5. Suez Canal, Egypt

6. Lake Como, Italy

Hi Mac,

I’m at work, we are having a wall built between the main cheese waxing area and my new dairy – I will be making cheese for the first time next week!

Here’s my version of the best top 10:, with a theme of best Lakes, Canals, & Watery Wonders:-

1. The Panama Canal – an incredible piece of engineering

2. The Amazon

3. The reefs off Papua New Guinea – the Great Barrier reef is largely dead and trashed by careless divers and snorkelers

4. The Nile from Luxor to Aswan

5. Venice

6. Lake Tanganyika by the steps of the Railway Hotel, Kigoma – the most beautiful and serene sight

7. Gulin, China, with its rounded steep mountains

8. The Danube

9. Rotorua and its geysers and stinky lake

10. Lake Wanaka

What do you the readers think ? Has Mac got the inside track or does The Beetle show up the breadth of her knowledge ? The Ant
