    My favorite country is Argentina. I spent 6 weeks there in 1979. It is a country of contrasts both geographical and demographical. It is has its problems but no country is so beautiful on so many levels due to it extending from near the tropics to the Antarctic circle.

    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    *The country, not the shop.

    New Zealand for me. A beautiful country.

    By ruling out the country of our birth then I get to claim Scotland as my favourite.

    Hard to choose, been to so many countries in the World, Canada has some fond memories, New Zealand has beautiful scenery, Japan was an eyeopener, but I have to say Canada if it was sunny and did not have black flies And 3/4s of them speak & understand Scottish

    I've got to say that I do like Canada. I have many fond memories of Halifax N.S. in fact I should have taken up the job offer from the Canadian Coastguard whilst there......damndamndamn....

    However, seeing as Icelands gone to Joxy, I'll say Greenland - Holsteinsborg (or Sisimuit to give it it's proper name) http://www.greenlandinpictures.com/sisimiut.html

    Berthed alongside in the town, you could fish off the back end of the ship and haul out no end of 15 -20lb cod. Stunning scenery too.

    I personnally like Germany soooo much particularly Bavaria, food and beer good, people not stereo typically german at all, climate similar to our own which suits me! lovely scenery and great for activities other than eating struddles and quoffing the beer back. Fab tack shops too...bonus! There is grass growing in the fields unlike some places with crispy grass. Not a sand sea and sangria girl at all, what with us having the best beaches why travel for a few feet of pre stood in sand with sweaty beach neighbours....yuck!

Personally, scotland is the best... Never finished exploring with all the islands. Switzerland and slovenia good too!
