Default The other side of the world

I've obviously too much time on my hands. This evening on route home from the office I started to wonder where is the farthest place on earth from where I am now...? (it had been one of those days).

Of course the internet has the answer. And that answer is Campbell Island, the most remote location (on a piece of land) from Dublin, Ireland. A subantartic island some, c. 1,000 km due south of New Zealand. How interesting.

Just in case anyone else now has a similar desire to find out, here's the link

That is pretty cool. Right now for me the other side of the world is San Ignacio de Moxos in Bolivia.

Jimmy I hope that means that hell is the furthest place on the planet from you now. Unfortunately I think it probably means you are in 275 hell at present. Don't worry, time heals all wounds.
