San Gimignano in Tuscany Italy has to be one of the most breathtaking places I have evey seen. From all directlons especially coming from the west you round a bend and there it is. A pictureesque bunch of imposing medieval towns just perched on the hill in the middle of the countryside. Stunning. Even though we had prebooked a farmhouse near the town with a local agency La Bella Toscana, and had done our research, nothing had prepared us for that wonderful sight. We'll rememeber it forever.

Our travel to Norway in 2009 was unforgettable because the nature of Norway is so unique, so unusual by its severe beauty that I am short of words to express all my delight! The country is really a spectacular scenery with its steep mountainsides, vertical waterfalls and many fjords. Most of all produced the impression on me and my wife the boat trip on the Sognefjord (the longest and deepest fjord in Norway) and a spectacular train journey on the Flam Railway. When our train stopped near the great waterfall, we got out to make photos and suddenly played the melody of Edvard Grieg in the mountains and we watched the witch dancing on the rock sprinkled with the waterfall. What a marvelous show! From mountain Flouen we enjoyed the Bergen view and the magnificent surrounding landscape of fjords. By the way, a journey on funicular to this mountain was in itself a remarkable experience. We even have been on the highest mountain plateau in Europe – Hardangervidda Plateau. The landscape of the Hardangervidda is characterised by barren, treeless moorland interrupted by numerous pools, lakes, rivers and streams. Here we saw the nomadic tents where the saami people lives. On our way to plateau we feasted our eyes on Voringsfossen - the most well-known waterfall in Norway. The Voringsfossen free water fall is 145 meters, total fall height is 182 meters. One night we spent on the Ski Resort Gail (Geilo). Of course, we tasted such specific delicacies of Norway as meat of whale (in the Market of Bergen) and special love and pride of Norwegians – cheese, prepared from goat's milk. It has a brown color, and something like a cocoa or chocolate, but the taste and smell do not compare to anything. We were not delighted by the whale’s meat, but the cheese seemed to be very original and we bought some for home.

The most remarkable and unusual place in Greece is Meteora (meaning ‘suspended in air’). When we were approaching to Meteora we saw a strange and breathtaking landscape from massive gray colored pinnacles rising towards the sky and on the top of the cliffs - the beautiful buildings of monasteries. The feeling was as if you were transferred to the fairy-tale world!
The community of 24 monasteries was located on the clifftops of Meteora in the ancient times, but only six monasteries survive. They are sparsely occupied by a few monks and nuns but they offer a rare glimpse of Orthodox monastic life.

At Hampi, the past comes alive. Whispering winds, magnificent ruins, traces and scents of a bygone era all linger fresh here. And they virtually transport you to a world of kings, battles and long forgotten marvels. The ancient city of Hampi was spread across a 29 sq km area along the Tungabhadra River. Welcome to the world's largest open-air museum - Hampi, Karnataka.
Hampi was the capital city of the magnificent Vijayanagara Empire. Founded by Harihara and Bukka in 1336, it fell to invaders from the north in 1565 after the Battle of Talikota, and subsequently lapsed into decline. However, these historical ruins still evoke memories of regal splendour.

Has anyone traveled to Geneva, Switzerland? I have 3 days to see the surrounding area and want to do day trips. Small towns, architecture, food, old towns, no museums, history, the beauty of the countryside, walks.

Now here's a great place to visit.. North Argentina and Salinas Grandes! Went there with a group and it really was worth sitting the whole day in a car :) Here's a pic you can check. So if you're in Salta or even nearby, at least think about going there :D

I think you should go to Siberia to see Bajkal (the lake). It's the purest lake ever. And one of the most beautiful)))

all national parks in West Usa....or Venice...my city!!!
tilkkuliini replied 3 years, 6 months ago:
What would you suggest to do in Venice?
eleonorazoccoletti replied 3 years, 6 months ago:
Take a tour by vaporetto from Piazzale Roma to Rialto bridge and then walk to St. mark Square.
Take time to visit beautiful islands of Venice: Murano, Burano and Torcello. And for this visit buy a tourist ticket for 24 hours, so you could use all the vaporetto to and come back to asnd from islands and allround Venice. More information? Ask me. It will be a pleasure to answer you....:O) Have a nice day!
tilkkuliini replied 3 years, 6 months ago:
Thanks for your answer! I have visited Venice once, but it was over 10 ten years ago :D
eleonorazoccoletti replied 3 years, 6 months ago:
I could suggest some hotels where to stay if you need...write to me when you decide to come back..:O)
I'm the manager of one small hotel in Brenta River between Padua and Venice. If you wish to visit this area, come to visit us too...:O)

Admiring the grandeur of Borobudur at day and seeing details of each statue and stones with relief of the constructors is something that people from around the world are longing to do.
However, not many people realize that Borobudur also has other unique view, namely the scenery of the beautiful rising sun that blows the statue of Buddha sitting cross-legged at the peak of the temple that was constructed in the ninth century.
If you never experience it before, trying to color the coming of the new life in the beginning of the year will become an unforgettable experience. The rising sun with its bright light will at least encourage you to live the life one year ahead, and for sure it becomes a remembrance that wisdom or nirvana symbolized by the peak of this temple is the main destination of your life.

An aurora (plural: aurorae or auroras; from the Latin word aurora, "sunrise") is a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions, caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere (thermosphere). The charged particles originate in the magnetosphere and solar wind and, on Earth, are directed by the Earth's magnetic field into the atmosphere. Aurora is classified as diffuse or discrete aurora. Most aurorae occur in a band known as the auroral zone,which is typically 3° to 6° in latitudinal extent and at all local times or longitudes. The auroral zone is typically 10° to 20° from the magnetic pole defined by the axis of the Earth's magnetic dipole. During a geomagnetic storm, the auroral zone will expand to lower latitudes. The diffuse aurora is a featureless glow in the sky which may not be visible to the naked eye even on a dark night and defines the extent of the auroral zone. The discrete aurorae are sharply defined features within the diffuse aurora which vary in brightness from just barely visible to the naked eye to bright enough to read a newspaper at night. Discrete aurorae are usually observed only in the night sky because they are not as bright as the sunlit sky. Aurorae occasionally occur poleward of the auroral zone as diffuse patches[3] or arcs (polar cap arcs), which are generally invisible to the naked eye.
In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis (or the northern lights), named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas, by Pierre Gassendi in 1621.Auroras seen near the magnetic pole may be high overhead, but from farther away, they illuminate the northern horizon as a greenish glow or sometimes a faint red, as if the Sun were rising from an unusual direction. Discrete aurorae often display magnetic field lines or curtain-like structures, and can change within seconds or glow unchanging for hours, most often in fluorescent green. The aurora borealis most often occurs near the equinoctes. The northern lights have had a number of names throughout history. The Cree call this phenomenon the "Dance of the Spirits". In Europe, in the Middle Ages, the auroras were commonly believed a sign from God.[6]
Its southern counterpart, the aurora australis (or the southern lights), has almost identical features to the aurora borealis and changes simultaneously with changes in the northern auroral zone and is visible from high southern latitudes in Antarctica, South America, New Zealand, and Australia.
