Make the most of the noughties

Watch the sunrise from the Malecon in Havana; see Maulidi’s showcase donkey race in Lamu; or laze on the shores of Western Australia’s Ningaloo and the Cape Range, perhaps... 2009’s the year for a one-off travel experience to see the noughties out in style!

Tune into the Rough Guide To... on Five

Tune into the Rough Guide To... on Five

The Rough Guide To... series is back for a second, sensational fifteen-part series on Five. Scheduled for Mondays at 7.30pm, UK viewers can catch Five's intrepid presenters, Julia Bradbury and Toby Amies, as they strike out to all manner of far-flung exotic locations.

After washing up on 'Tropical Islands' Cuba and the Cayman Islands, the action shifts from big sky destinations, Utah and Norway, in ‘The Great Outdoors’, to roaring down ‘Classic Road Trips’, uncovering ‘Hidden Gems’ and sorting through the best ‘City Breaks’.

And if you can’t catch them (or just can’t wait) check out these clips... Frankly, it's the next best thing to being there yourself!
