I agree with you steve , but officially they are not countries.

and even the components of the United Kingdom (such as Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England - sorry folks, they're not countries, states, or nation-states).

Here is a list of all 192 "official" countries .

I thought I was well travelled at 47 countries.
Some of you guys have really been around.
If it had been how many countries youv'e visited in the last 8 years the answer would have been 3. UK. Australia & Thailand ( 35 times )

Around 30 of them more than once.
LOS has stalled me a bit as well, for the moment.

55555555555 Nice one Dawsey and nope!!! Nearest I got to Zanzibar and kicking myself for not going there is Tanzania (Dar Es Salaam) Not likely to head out that way again either which is a shame as I believe it is a beautiful place.
Went to Kenya just above it when I was in the mob.

55555 Well I never, I thought you may have been there. Dar-es-Salaam is pretty close,about 30miles away I believe.
Actually,although it has a lovely coastline,there is precious little to do there.
The corruption is rife,museums have been looted and its a dodgy place at night.
Saw Freddie Mercury's house, where he was born,Livingstones house as well,and sunk a few Killies in Mercurys bar. An interesting trip,but not one I'd repeat. The 5 days I spent there were enough.
Oh, I got a real good dose of the sheites there as well,not pleasant
