VPG-DVD-120 - HONG KONG Hong Kong is a city of the superlative with glimmering skyscrapers that seem to take root in the sky and one elegant building after another with shining glass and hi-tech facades. Around a hundred and fifty years ago Hong Kong Island was under British Colonial rule and today only a few buildings of this period remain. The white Flagstaff House, former residence of the colony's British military commander, contains the Tea Museum that boasts an exceptional collection of exhibits associated with the famous leaf. Since 1904 the city's nostalgic narrow double-decker trams have travelled through the crowded streets and are the most convenient mode of transport for covering short distances. Most of the sightseeing tours around the harbour embark from Central Station close to the ferry terminal. The journey travels past Kowloon and several huge cruise ships that lie at anchor, the quantity of ships highlighting the importance of this huge natural harbour that has been a regular destination of European shipping and trade since the 16th century. Although not as large as it used to be the city of junks known as Aberdeen has provided the backdrop for many a motion picture and it is still a good place to buy fresh fish, fruit and vegetables. Within the Wong Tai Sin Temple, the city's largest temple, each day thousands of the faithful seek good fortune in romance and betting with prayers and sacrifices. The temple's god is known to have a sympathetic ear for one and all, thus the temple is a popular attraction. Within this city of dreams and Asiatic flair there are eight million people all packed into one of the most exiting cities in the world.

VPG-DVD-183 - ANDALUSIA Andalusia in southern Spain is a fantasy land situated between Europe and Africa. In Algarrobo, a white village close to the coast, time seems to have stood still. A place of both inspiration and contemplation. Since Phoenician times the earlier 'Malaca' was a busy trading port that was defended by the Castillo De Gibralforo. The Cathedral, also known as 'La Manquita', symbolises a catholic victory on the former site of a mosque. On the edge of the city centre is the Moorish fortress of Alcazaba that was once a fortified residence on the hills of Castillo. The second largest city in Andalusia also became known as the birthplace of its famous son, world famous artist Pablo Ruiz Picasso. Since the 1950's the modern coastal resort of Torremolinos has attracted mass tourism with a numerous variety of huge hotel skyscrapers, bars and restaurants. In the hilly inland area of the Costa Del Sol is the pretty white mountain village of Mijas. A small hilltop bullfight arena shines bright white along with the houses of the surrounding area. Marbella, the prima donna of the Costa Del Sol, serves as a rendezvous for the stars of stage and screen and a leisure resort for the international jet set. Another short excursion into the mountains near the coast leads to Casares, a sleepy mountain village crowned by the ruins of a Moorish Castle. During the Roman Carthaginian Wars Cadiz played an important role as a trading centre. After the Moors, came the Normans and in 1262, the city fell into the hands of the Christian king, Alfonso. Dreamy harbour towns, cultural metropolises with a Moorish past, Christian buildings and white villages. Beauty in the Garden Of Eden -- that's Andalusia!

I was afloat on 11th May 2007 for one week and aiming to do the Warwickshire Ring. We arrived in the rain and more rain was predicted for a few days so we decided to go anti-clockwise to leave the lock flights until later in the week.This is the Saturday starting just below Napton J (at Napton Bridge) when we did the whole Upper Oxford Canal finishing at Hawkesbury Junction. This video only goes to Ansty as my battery ran out for the final 10 mins or so.The video was captured using a Ricoh R6 in interval mode taking a shot every 5 seconds, any slight gaps are in the battery changes.Notice how the day starts bright and then gets cloudy and a rain storm comes in. We started at 8am, stopped at Rugby at 1pm until 3pm to get supplies, have lunch, and wait for the rain to stop. We got to Ansty for 6pm and then Hawkesbury J shortly afterwards.8 hours cruising time represented here in 6m30s of time lapse.

OTT-DVD-114 - On Tour...  The OCEAN Halifax To Toronto On Canada's FamousTHE OCEAN The Ocean is a legendary train that travels through Canada from Halifax to Toronto, the first destination being Quebec. The interior of La Cathedrale Notre Dame is dominated by a host of beautiful paintings and gilded works of art. Narrow alleyways cut through the world famous city some of which have stood here for more than 400 hundred years. The Musée Du Fort features scenes of the city's dramatic history and numerous battles for Quebec. A steep railway, the Funiculaire, travels down onto the riverbank and to the small and enchanting Quartier Petit Champlaine. After a short journey the train reaches Montreal, the island city located on the St. Laurence River, a pulsating metropolis that enjoys a French way of life and towering American architecture. A horse drawn carriage known as a 'caleche' is a relaxing way to take in the sights. In recent years the huge harbour of Vieux Port has been renovated on a grand scale and is now a popular meeting place and entertainment complex. Next stop, Toronto, a city of art and culture, thus art galleries, museums and theatres play an important part in the life of this exciting metropolis while in contrast within the bright subterranean complex of its 'Underground City' it's possible to shop 'twenty-four seven'! The romantic trip across eastern Canada reaches its conclusion with a final view across the tranquil bay of Lake Ontario. The journey on the Ocean has united the past with the future, Canada's endless landscapes and frenetic commercial centres making a bold statement in a land dominated by breathtaking Nature.
