The Norwegian fjords have been voted the world's best travel destination for the third time by National Geographic Traveller.
Some 133 destinations were surveyed by 437 travel experts and rated according to their environmental and ecological quality, their social and cultural integrity, the condition of their historic buildings and archaeological sites, their aesthetic appeal, the quality of their tourism, and management and outlook for the future.
Naturally Hurtigruten, the cruise line that sails the Norwegian coast between Bergen and Kirkenes - and has been doing so since 1893 - is delighted with the results.
But while I agree that the fjords are lovely I'm not so sure I'd rate them the best travel destination in the world. Personally, I feel once you've seen two or three, you've seen them all.
What about the Baltic with its fabulous capitals? Or exotic Asia? Even the Black Sea, which is surrounded by fascinating cities?
Where would you vote for? I'd love to hear.
