Countries Whose Capitals I Have Not Visited

This is a bit of fun: Countries whose capitals I have NOT visited.

​Sure there are going to be a few surprises.

'Visited' does not mean a stop for changing buses. I need to overnight there!​
Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in Yamoussoukro
The Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in Yamoussoukro, the political capital of Côte d'Ivoire. The port city of Abidjan is the economic capital. I have been to both.
Austria. I have not visited Vienna despite having visited Graz, Salzburg and spending 7 days hiking in the mountains in the west of the country.

Croatia. Zagreb. Doesn't hold much appeal.

Guatemala. Guatemala City. Going into the city to catch a big bus does not count. The place is mental anyway.

Guinea. Conakry. The city is a mess. Heading south from Dalaba, when I got to Coyah, I turned southeast  towards the border with Sierra Leone.

India. New Delhi. Spent a few very frustrating hours in the airport after Air India pilots went on strike. No desire to visit the capital.

Indonesia. Jakarta. This city is also a mess but am interested to visit, surprisingly.

Ireland. Dublin. I flew out of Dublin after 5 weeks working in County Clare and heading for Zurich.

Italy. Rome. Shame on me!

Kazakhstan. Nur-Sultan, formerly Astana. 

Lesotho. Maseru. Changed buses here in 2016.

Malawi. Lilongwe. Next time eh!

Montenegro. Podgorica. Changed buses here in 2018.

Mozambique. Maputo. Next time eh!

Burma. Nay Pyi Taw. When I visited Burma, Yangon was the capital.

Nicaragua. Managua

Pakistan. Islamabad. Stayed 2 nights in Rawalpindi. Had my haircut in the capital though!

Tanzania. Dodoma. Was planning on going here but you know. #FuckCovid

UAE. Abu Dhabi. I have only spent time in Ras al Khaimah.

United States. Washington DC

Zimbabwe. Harare. 

Belize: Belmopan
​
Interestingly, I have never visited Cardiff. Have never slept in Edinburgh. Have slept in London despite the fact that it is only 50 miles from home. Haven't been to Northern Ireland!
