I may have had a gift for doodling in school, but I haven't even done that in decades, so very likely no.

TNP follows the tennis tour, or at least the four Grand Slam tournaments, closely.

I did back in 2013 when I was at a health spa, where the hiking tracks went up and down and wound their way around the hilly area. The flat, straight-as-an-arrow forestry roads we have right next door are awfully boring by comparison.

TNP had taken a ride in a sleigh, be it drawn by horses, reindeer (caribou) or huskies.
(I'm ignoring PJ's idea for Radagast's transport, as Rhosgobel Rabbits no longer seem to be available )

Drove through it, on the way to a vaction in Ireland and back. And on the way back, spent a night in Chester just over the border from Wales. Later flew there on project business on the west coast (mouth of the Severn River region) - and spent the night in a Hotel in Wales!

TNP has been to an island in the Caribbean.

Yup, if a half-day one.

TNP has visited some place in the former East Bloc (aka Warsaw Pact states, opponents of NATO).

Several, and place of honor with my background of course goes to the definitely awe-inspiring Cologne Cathedral. Took a long time to finish, starting in 1248, but wasn't finished (according to the original Medieval plans) until 1880, with the two huge spires.

TNP has been to some place in, or bordering on, the Pacific Ocean.

Yes, I've been in the Pacific Ocean, as well as bordering on it, at several beaches on the east coast of Australia.

Nope, all countries that I've lived in had ocean coastlines (with Germany's rather limited ones on the North and Baltic Seas being the smallest. I've vacationed in Austria and Switzerland - and a longish weekend in the Czech Republic.

TNP has vacationed on an island.

A weekend trip from Frankfurt to Würzburg over the Spessart middle mountains over 30 years ago, a bit over 110 kilometers one way. My buddy, whose relatives we were visiting, only had a 10-speed (2x5), myself a 12-speed (2x6). Might have been easier on the long uphills with my current aluminium 24-speed (3x8 ), but they didn’t have such bicycles then. As it rained on the Sunday, we "unfortunately" had to take the train back. We were so disappointed.
About so: Image

TNP has played badminton.

TNP has see at least one of Viggo's non-Tolkien based films.

Yes, I've seen him in Les Misérables, and he does guest appearances in the annual musical theatre production at my university.

Not sure. If yes, it would have been a dromedary (the single-lumped one) when we were on a short visit to the pyramids of Gizeh back in 1963 (when I was 7), we must have a picture of that in an old photo album somewhere. Funny thing is, I vaguely remember the camel (or camels) but have no memory of the pyramids. To this day, I remain much more interested in zoology than in architecture.

TNP has been on a Ferris wheel.

Not sure, and if, it must have been long ago. The area of our city's beer festival can hold about 100 000 people (a bit less than the city's population) in a tight fit, but the room for roller coasters is too limited, as far as I can remember.

TNP has ridden in a gondola (be it in a skiing resort or to a tourist attraction on some peak or other place difficult or impossible to access otherwise).

I did at a ski resort. Due to my fear of heights, although memorable, it was not one of my favourite experiences.

TNP owns an older model car.

Yes, a 2008 (offline) gaming tower whose hardware specs still make my 2013 notebook look like a pocket calculator. And a 1997 fairly for then high-end tower (I still did hardware upgrades on my PCs at the time), a bios-patched WIN 98 (upgrade from W95) / WIN 3.1 dual boot thingy, with its 19-inch tube monitor. No idea if it still works. (Yes, we could clear several cubic feet of living space if we got rid of some obsolete stuff, not just computer related).

TNP still owns a digital camera (or perhaps even one of those ancient things using celluloid as a storage medium?)

No longer - well, actually I still have an ancient portable radio (quite a bit smaller than what used to be called a ghetto blaster) which does have a thingy for cassettes in it - no idea if it still works.

TNP owns or used to own a Sony Walkman.
