Vote Closing for New Seven Wonders of the World

Voting ends at midnight tonight in a huge poll to choose the seven modern wonders of the world. The results will be announced in a special ceremony in Lisbon tomorrow (07/07/07), with Machu Picchu, the Colosseum and the Great Wall of China leading the way so far. The project was started by Swiss explorer Bernard Weber, and so far 90 million votes have been cast to choose the 7 wonders from a shortlist of 20. Many tourist boards have been promoting the idea, with Mexico, Peru and Jordan in particular appealing for votes for Chichen Itza, Machu Picchu and Petra respectively.

You can vote for your modern wonder here.

Visit the Cox & Kings blog next week to see the full results.
