I have been reading about the 7 Wonders and wondered if anyone has actually visited any of them?

The Grand Canyon reduced me to tears, it was amazing.

Apparently over 100 million people around the world voted for them via the internet and texts.
Only one of the ancient Wonders of the World still exists - the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt!
I haven't seen any of them - ancient or modern - but the one I would most like to see is Christ the Redeemer in Brazil.

I've kind of half seen Christ the Redeemer, there was cloud hanging around his head, when I went, this happens quite a lot but the tour guides don't tell you that.

From the list have also seen the Colosseum and Chichen Itza

It's quite an arbitrary list really, I'd place Iguazu Falls at the top of my personal list, simply breathtaking!

I've seen the Colosseum. That'll do me.

7 modern feats of engineering would have to include that hotel in Dubai and that viaduct in the South of France.
