Re: Your favourite towns/cities?
Mine is Carcassonne when the sun shines to sit in the main square on market day and people watch is so fasinating ... The little streets off the main square full of little shops , the old cite just 10 mins walk away, the canal and the river both stunning places to walk and picnic. The cafe's the people and the architecture just make me so happy when Im wandering around ....26-02-2013, 01:09 AM

Re: Your favourite towns/cities?
My favourite city is Agra in India when I went to see the Taj Mahal, such a beautiful place in fact I love India, the people are so friendly. The last time I went was last November but I think that that could be the last time I go as the flight is so long, it is getting too much for me and there are a lot of Russians going now and they are turning the coastal resorts into an Indian Magaluf, pity but that is the way it is.15-03-2013, 09:55 PM

Cities I have seen a few, I think Barcelona is my all time Fave. There is everything one could possibly want there, beach, history, shopping, food, nightlife, soccer (oops football), I loved it. Secondly Rome, history, history history. I have many others.Towns Banff Alberta Canada hands down. The mountains are killer.

For Cities - St:Petersburg takes a lot of beating - one can spend a whole month in the Winter Palace and wouldn't even scratch the surface of what there is there to to see.

I shall check out your suggestion too. I love travelling I wish I were richer. It's a heck of a long trek to get from Canada to just about anywhere else.

Many years ago, I used to do a lot of climbing, but regrettably anno domini and Arthritis have caught up with me and I cannot do that anymore.
