Dear TM,

I've just checked out Norway.

http://www.earth-photography.com/Countries/Norway

I can now understand why you think it's beautiful.

I'd like to see the fjords and of course the
Northern Lights - and I found out that English
is spoken by most people there.

Thanks for pointing us in this direction ,
maybe some day ...

>... favourite travel destination and why?

Dove Lake, Cradle Mountain, Tasmania: <http://www.tomw.net.au/blog/2009/09/cradle-mountain-tasmania.html>.

This has heart achingly perfect picture postcard scenery, with rugged snow covered peaks, against a clear blue sky, reflected in a lake, glimpsed through gnarled trees on mossy rocks, with clear mountain streams flowing over them. When the cute little marsupials started hopping around and the weathered shingle boathouse was reflected in the still water, it was almost too much to take in.

Apart from that, there is the view from the cafe on the headland at Point Lookout. You can drink coffee while watching whales and knowing that the next bit of land out there is America: <http://www.tomw.net.au/travel/stradbroke.shtml>.

Others, because of the timeless feeling they invoked:

* The ferry crossing at dusk on the Mandovi River to Panji (Panjim), Goa, India: <http://www.tomw.net.au/blog/2005/12/ferry-cross-mandovi-river.html>.

* The ancient gymnasium at Delphi, Greece (sorry, no photos): <http://www.tomw.net.au/blog/2008/06/delphi.html>.

* The lake at Blenheim Palace, England: <http://www.tomw.net.au/2000/bat.html#Introduction>

* The Great Ocean Road, Victoria: <http://www.tomw.net.au/hottub.txt>.

* Over Canberra in a hot air balloon: <http://www.tomw.net.au/nt/balloon.html>.

* The river at Cambridge, particularly punting at Kings College <http://www.tomw.net.au/2004/europe/index.html#cambridge> and the chapel at dusk: <http://www.tomw.net.au/nt/uk.htm>.

* The harbour at Apia, Samoa, at sunset: <http://www.tomw.net.au/2005/emuseums/>.

Dear Divorce Doctor,

Thank You for also sharing Norway.
Much appreciated - and breath-taking.

Dear Tom,

You write so descriptively - Thank You.
All the sites you've given - and the
places described - sheer magic!

Dear Divorce Doctor,

Thank You for the site on Lithuania.
I appreciate your going to all that trouble -
and I had no idea that Vilnius was so modern.

We definitely are planning a trip not only to
Lithuania - but I'd like to take in Russia
as well - and then onto Europe.

Saving furiously at the moment(Haven't had a
hair-cut for ages - but my husband likes long
hair - so it's not such a big deal).

Anyway, once again -Thanks!
Mwah, mwah!
Much appreciated!
