I saw the thread about about Equator and I found interesting to see who has crossed Greenwich Meridian line.

I suppose more people than Equator?

No, I have not, but I have crossed the International Date Line. The furthest due west I've been from Perth is Sri Lanka, and the furthest due east Boston, yet Boston is actually west of Perth so it gets confusing. In that case the most westerly city I've been to is Los Angeles. When I visit Europe next I will.

I know but your area is located in a right way (more or less) Spain was in the same as yours but it was moved in the 40's to be in the same time zone as Germany due to politic reasons and it hasn't been moved any more, so that the sun sets quite late here.
