Desert Week Roundup
Saturday, 21st June 2008 by Alex Turnbull
And so, we come to end of our first ever desert week. It turns out that we only featured two actual deserts over the week, and we even failed to mention the world's largest desert!
Despite these we think it's been a success, but we'd to hear your feedback. Did you enjoy desert week? Do you wish it had been longer, or perhaps shorter? Are there any other theme weeks you'd like to see? Let us know your thoughts!
Here's the list of all the places we featured this week:
Many of you sent in some great desert based suggestions of other sights to see, but we just didn't have enough time to feature them all. However, deserts aren't restricted to desert week, so we may sneak a few in during the coming months.
We're also planning for August to see the return of the popular Island Week for its third outing, and after that Volcano Day is due to make its triumphant return after a 2 year hiatus, and this time it's going to make the jump to a fully-blown Volcano Week. Know of any great sights for either event? Then get submitting your suggestions!
IMHO one week is just right for a series of themed sights. It gets the right focus on the theme without getting annoying. It’s been a nice week! Deserts are such strange places.
I would have preferred dessert week.
