Official Seven Wonders of the MODERN World | Motherhood Unplugged

In my previous post on Chichen Itza, I mentioned that it was a goal of mine to see all of the 7 now 8 wonders of the world with the family. Back in 2007 over a hundred million voters logged in online to cast their ballot on the new Seven Wonders of the Modern World. There is speculation that there was quite of bit of shady lobbying done to steer the votes in one direction or another as there is often in voting elections. The original Seven Wonders of the World are comprised of the following:

1. The Great Wall of China

2. Jordans Ancient Rock City, Petra

3. Brazil's statue of Christ the Redeemer

4. Peru's hill top city of Machu Pitchu

5. Mexico's Chichen Itza pyramid (as seen above picture taken in 2010 by me)

6. Rome's Colosseum

7. India's Taj Mahal

* Great pyramid of Giza

Among the contenders were:

Acropolis, Greece Hagia Sophia, Turkey Kremlin, Russia Colosseum, Italy Neuschwanstein, Germany Eiffel Tower, France Stonehenge, Britain Alhambra, Spain Great Wall of China Kiyomizu Temple, Japan Sydney Opera House Angkor, Cambodia Taj Mahal, India Timbuktu, Mali Petra, Jordan Statue of Christ Redeemer, Brazil Easter Island, Chile Machu Picchu, Peru Pyramid at Chichen Itza, Mexico Statue of Liberty, US

Have you been to all 7 now 8 Wonders of the World? Let us know which one's you'd like to visit if so. The one's on my list next are Machu Pitchu, Rome's Colosseum and The Great Wall of China for sure.
