Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden

Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden, Port Louis, Mauritius

Home to the giant water lilies and a couple of other really cool things, like sideways trees. Port Louis doesn't look half bad either.

Hacienda Napoles

Hacienda Napoles, Puerto Triunfo, Columbia

So I heard about this on NPR, and I am intrigued! It's got all sorts of cool stuff like life-size concrete dinosaurs and wild hippopotamuses living in the jungle that escaped captivity! Oh and it was built by drug kingpin! It sounds like between the wild large animals and the drug kingpin, this place has everything that Columbia has to offer!

Chocolate Hills

Chocolate Hills, Bohol, Philippines
How have I not heard of this place!?! 1776 grassy hills crammed into 20 sq. miles... that's cool. Plus, this place not only looks awesomely cool, it conjures up a pleasant taste in my mouth. I don't know about you but it kind of smells like donuts just thinking about this place.

An Oasis

How awesome would it be to be wandering the desert, your dying of heat, dying of thirst, and then you come across the elusive oasis. Man, that's gotta feel good.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

You've got to love old red roofs that overlooks blue, blue water.
