Favourite destination of 2006?

The Gnome

Well it's coming up to the end of the year and I'm sure many of you have been to many new and exciting places. So my quandary is which was your favorite?

Personally mine would be a toss up between Istanbul (Turkey) for its amazing and different culture and Brasov (Romania) for its breathtaking scenery and medieval atmosphere.

Norinoco

Hard one to pin, toss up between visiting the hill station of Dhanaulti, India...unbelievably scenary and treated like royalty

or

Snorkling the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia...Much better then the Great Barrier Reef with more colourful fish and coral and no other tourists...class.

I only went to one place this year, Majorca.
Coves del Drac were beautiful.

daveg

Chennai, India. Great city. I also loved Kolkata. Chennai is great but full of tourists. Kolkata is a friendlier but not as much to do.

Monaco for the Grand Prix.

I did indeed and the tombs close by aswell, amazing stuff. Got talking to an Iranian archaeologist digging at the site too, the Iranians are easily the friendliest people I've ever met. I'd like to go back again, there's a few more places I'd like to see.

Rabies

I would throw the mountains of New Zealand in there. Some are just amazing. The best scenery I have seen in my travels.
