On July 7, 2007 (07.07.07) the results of a worldwide vote were announced at the Declaration Ceremony, proclaiming what the world has chosen as the new seven wonders of the world.

Being a keen traveller, I decided that to see each of these new wonders would be a great goal to achieve as part of Project 183. So I made it Goal 40 on my list.

Here are the seven new wonders in no particular order. Luckily, I had already done one before they were announced, so there were just six to go.

1. Macchu Picchu in Peru

2. Taj Mahal in India – Completed January 2004, on a visit with a friend to India and Nepal. This is very deserved of its place as a new wonder.

3. Chichen Itza in Mexico

4. Christ Redeemer in Brazil

5. Great Wall of China in China

6. Colosseum in Italy – Completed July 2007, on a trip to Europe with Nat. So much history attached to it, as well as the rest of the Roman Forum that surrounds it. Didn’t bump in to Russell Crowe though.

7. Petra in Jordan
