Travel views: January 6 to 13, 2012 Then there is Acle Station Cottage on the Norwich-to-Great Yarmouth branch, ideal for exploring Norfolk: Cromer, Sheringham and, of course, Sandringham House and Estate. Back up north, there is the stationmaster's house at Grosmont, on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, which runs from Whitby to Pickering. Stepping out of your front door on to your waiting Pullman dining train for a slap-up meal is an experience not to be missed. Patrick J Tracey, by email Skiing in Spain I wonder why your ski reports are limited to the obvious destinations. The Sierra Nevada, in Spain, has more than 35 miles of runs, including a black run, for several weeks. It is cheap and easy to get there: from Malaga airport there is an Autovia direct to the Sierra Nevada, an easy drive of two-and-a-half hours. Car hire at Malaga is about the cheapest in Europe. Granada airport is only a 40-minute drive away, but there is not the same choice of flights. Anthony Slade, by email Albania's appeal I was very interested to see the email on Tirana, Albania (January 7). I'd liked to have read more about the country, which has a lot more to offer the traveller and is very beautiful. The coastal towns of Durres, Vlorë and Saranda have splendid beaches. There is a wonderful view from Saranda of the island of Corfu, which appears to be floating on the sea. Inland, the lakeside town of Pogradec (famous for its delicious trout) and the former dictator's old villa at Drilon are peaceful, and in spring you hear the nightingale all day long. Gjirokastra (birthplace of the country's former leader Enver Hoxha and of Ismail Kadare, the Albanian novelist) has an old castle looming over the town, as does the old city of Shkodra in the north. All are worth visiting. It's a pity more travel companies don't seek to arrange holiday tours for British visitors, because prices are cheap by comparison with other EU holiday areas. Flights to Mother Teresa airport from Britain are short and comfortable. John Nash, by email Don't miss Roussillon Further to Anthony Peregrine's guide to Provence (January 7), I'd also like to recommend a visit to Roussillon to see the red and yellow rock formations. You walk through on boardwalks to protect the area (but people were climbing all over). Some tiny tots came out and were plastered with dust, so don't wear anything special. We also enjoyed the Fontaine de Vaucluse and the Village des Bories, which are fairly near. Sylvia Hudnott, by email In praise of Vietnam Your article on Vietnam (January 7) brought back many wonderful memories of our two-week visit this time last year. We went with the company Wendy Wu. We flew to Ho Chi Minh City and then travelled north by coach, exploring the hinterland as well as the coast. So much to see: the tunnels used by the Viet Cong, the highlands of Dalat, the area growing tea, coffee, flower and vines, the deserted beaches, the markets, and the towns and cities. Most of all we remember the friendly welcome. Our trip was full board; the food was delicious, always freshly cooked and served with a smile and the inevitable chopsticks. Do not let age deter you: my husband was 81 when we went. Wendy Anderson, by email
