Micheal Palin - New Europe..

Watched the first episode of Palin's tour of the 'New Europe' - another excellent chapter in these series. That man must have the best job on tv - must say, was most impressed by Croatia as a destination for a holiday. Frightening to think that all that crap in the Balkans - just like here - was just 15 years ago. Also, must remember never, ever, to book Albania for a trip.

Dunno - jsut watching this man makes me want to travel .... the Sahara one was fabulous, as was Hymalaya..

The books were great too.
And the special ones with the photography in more detail are well worthwhile.
Anyone who is into photography should get Himalaya.
