The region Tuscany (Toscana) is located in the central part of Apennines, on the bank of Tyrrhenian Sea. Tuscany — one of the most beautiful regions of Italy, the place of a unique historical saturation, the native land of many styles of the Italian Art Painting and Architecture.

Here the enormous number of unique cultural objects is concentrated, therefore the whole six Tuscan cities get to the List of the UNESCO World Heritage (Pisa, Florence, Lucca, Siena, St. Gimignano, Massa Marittima).

Versilia — the Italian Riviera

The most known resort of Tuscany is Tuscan Riviera or Versilia. It's resort area of Tuscany it's considered expensive and prestigious vacation place where individual tourism for the respectable persons is widely developed. The Versilia Area in northern Tuscany is known for the sandy beaches lasting on 20 km. Local resorts are considered prestigious and expensive. For example, Tuscany villa accommodation with pool will cost approximately 1070€ for 7 days (it certainly more cheaply, than villa accommodation in Miami, but it's madly expensive, than Havana villas). Magnificent hotels, set of luxury night clubs, restaurants, bars... Rest in Tuscany is a holiday which is to be continued constantly.

As a rule, on northern coast of Tuscany like to have a rest the native Italians. Here is populous... I don't recommend.

Forte Dei Marmi is the ideal place for fans of silence & elegance. Here has a rest most of all Italian celebrities. Magnificence of the harmonical nature, an accessible arrangement of sights of Tuscany and affinity of the Florence Art Centre — all it gives to Versilia a priority in favour of a vacation place choice.

The most elite sea resort of Tuscany — Punta Ala, known among admirers of yachts and sailing regattas.

Tourism in Tuscany is attractive all-the-year-round as the beauty of Tuscany does not wither never. Tuscany is fine at any year time, but the true beauty prevails from May till June.

Luxury Myrtle Beach Resort

We have come back home, to wood Atlanta. From my boots beach sand is still strewed, my physiognomy worries consequences of a sea wind, I try to forget stupefying 6 hours of the American highway and I touch photos from this trip.

At me was two dawn and one and a half day on absorbing salty cold air, to learn by heart rhythmical noise of a surf in interseasonal beach silence with shouts of seagulls, to remember all paints of the sea and the sand, varying between rising and a decline.

Unlike rough Miami, Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resorts — the pacified and silent small town, as the pensioner in comparison with the teenager. There is no shabby habitation, Cubans and the other Latin American population, there are no vagabonds, dust and suspicious persons loafing in search of adventures: here come families, with children and dogs, for silent respectable family rest, play a golf on spacious meadows with picturesque lakes, investigate the numerous aquaparks which majority are calculated on children.

Luxury Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotel

In local Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotels — silently and grandly, as in village, not looking at sales, "Black Friday" — day of the beginning of seasonal Christmas sales. It is necessary to tell, me the Christmas theme in this country continually for one and a half month till December, 25th, not saying that till January, 7th — is absolutely yet fast starts to tyre something already.

But not looking that small town silent and quiet, the small adventures, probably, too happen... While we with the girlfriend have arrived on Thursday evening to hotel, the hotel left the half-dressed people some — in towels and bathing suits, is visible from pool, under the guidance of hotel security services: it appears, the system of the fire alarm system so we long time expected in the car while local firemen will check up a hotel building has worked, at that time, while other half-dressed visitors Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotel, huddled on a roadside in expectation of possibility of the prompt returning in the rooms.

The hotel was standard, quite good, pure, but all the same I have experienced a difference in comparison with that hotel in which we were in Miami: all the same the old artistic two-storeyed hotel impresses much more, than box many-storeyed, let and with a smart view of the sea.

I was overslept till a dawn, drank tequila with spices, observing from height of the ninth floor behind how the sea separates from the sky as there is a horizon strip between the fiery sky and the ice sea, and then took the camera and went to the beach — from hotel to a wooden pier and back.

Myrtle Beach — Golf Trip

France, Grenoble

In fact, all this material was in frequent use, not during the Olympic period, as no important snow fall took place, but during the preceding month. Very heavy continuous snow falls (altogether several metres thick) took place from the end of December, and the material and personnel only just available, were sorely tried while still training.

If these roads were always kept completely cleared, it was not the same for the third class roads and car parks, which were cleared with difficulty by means of rotary machines. They were made available only a few days before the Opening of the Games.

Approaches to ALPE-D'HUEZ

ALPE-d'HUEZ and DEUXALPES

Finally, at VIZILLE, a deviation of the national road, part of the urbanization plan since 1956, was also constructed so traffic from the BRIANÇON and GAP roads avoid the centre of VIZILLE. It was necessary because the transit traffic on some days exceeded 8,000 vehicles because of the development of the winter sports resorts of ALPE-d'HUEZ and DEUXALPES.

This work may seem modest compared to the equipment installed in many foreign tourist resorts. However, it represents an important effort by the government (28,6 MF) and the authorities of the department of the Isere (46,6 MF). The latter were particularly conscious that the investment was worth while and would benefit the prestige of the resorts of Dauphiné.

The Approach Roads to the Resorts

The second took the route Napoleon on leaving GRENOBLE (CD. 5 from GRENOBLE to VIZILLE by EYBENS) then an entirely new road, built by the department, joining BRIÉ-and-ANGONNE to URIAGE. So, CHAMROUSSE was served from GRENOBLE (Olympic Station) by a complete loop consisting of entirely renovated roads enlarged to 7 metres.

APPROACHES TO THE VERCORS

The events taking place on the VERCORS plateau, which had always specialised in Nordic events, were located in three distinct zones.

AUTRANS (33 kms from GRENOBLE) where the cross country events and 70 metres jump took place; VILLARD-de-LANS: (31 kms from GRENOBLE) where the Olympic Toboggan track was built; SAINT-NIZIER (16 kms from GRENOBLE) where the 90 metres ski jump was constructed.

All roads lead... to the Games

PARKING IN THE OLYMPIC RESORTS

The possibilities for parking in the Olympic stations being sometimes very limited, it was impossible to allow cars free access. Because of this, access was prohibited at CHAMROUSSE, at SAINT-NIZIER for all the events, and at AUTRANS, on 10th and 11th February, except for specially authorized vehicles. Only official vehicles were allowed to go to these resorts, and authorizations were limited to existing parking places.

NON-STOP CIRCULAR COACH SERVICE

For the events at CHAMROUSSE, AUTRANS and SAINT-NIZIER, certain sections of the road were converted for one-way traffic, as the road network allowed the return journey by another route. This meant that the empty 'buses could wait by the roadside until the spectators returned, and also that other vehicles could overtake, even without visibility. This greatly improved traffic conditions.

On 18th February about 150 'buses were able to make two round trips to Saint-Nizier. The transport of spectators is resumed in the following table, with, in the other column, the details of the busiest day (18th February).
