Unfortunately I wasn’t able to see much of Italy, all I wanted to do was ski. I flew into Turin airport and then had a two hour drive to the mountains. But this in its self is wonderful, as the countryside is so pretty even in winter. The best part about skiing is that I was out in the fresh air ALL day.
The resort was quite small, which is brilliant as there were no long queues for the chairlifts etc and you get to know the various instructors and ski patrols which is always nice for free lessons.
China sounds fab; I have a colleague who will be going there in August, she'll be adding Japan to her trip also. Have you decided what region you will be exploring?

My travel plans have been changed (unfortunately). I was attending a conference in Cannes and tagging a few days on at the end. But now the conference has been cancelled, I won't be going :(. Hopefully my next trip will be skiing, but I don't want to say anything, (you know to Jinx myself) because I don't want it get get cancelled as well. I'm just living my travel dreams through my fellow globo members now.

I brag a lot about Portugal and Malta being serious photographers dream detinations but I think Cuba over-takes the lot! Thanks so much for showing us a really colourful (and weird) place, time seems to have forgotton it! More? RR
Je pense tu aimeras la Chine, j'y suis passee a la fin de mon voyage du Trans-siberien, c etait super beau, surtout la grande muraille (les photos sont a venir!). Beijong est bien mais seulement les vieus quartiers, la ville se construit vite a caus des Olympiades de 2008. Il y as des chantiers partout!
Cuba, je n y suis jamais allee, mais pourquoi pas, profites en bien!
moi j aimerais bien retourner au Canada, mais pour l instant j ai d autre projets en tete.

I should be going to Nice and Cannes for five days, but that doesn't count as it's European. The only other thing I really want to do is a safari in November.
I was meant to go to Cuba over the Christmas but it was too expensive (December being the high season), but I did buy a guide book, if you want I can lend you my copy as I'm not sure when I will be able to go now?
