L. Marcus Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Re: The Last Word ... Huh. VLT is at 24 degrees south? I figured it was closer to the equator. Also, La Palma, of the Canary Islands, is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Re: The Last Word La Palma is acknowledged as the best site in the north of the Old World hemisphere. It'd be better if it was another 500 to 1000 meters higher; when you're trying to get above the water vapor, that counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Re: The Last Word Oddly enough, when on our honeymoon on Rarotonga 20 years back, the most common tourists were Aussies and Kiwis (not a surprise). After them (and ahead of USers), it was Swedes. No idea why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
