Along the sea front in San Remo, recollecting a visit in 1985.

My channel on you tube : http://www.youtube.com/alanheath is one of the most prolific from Poland, although unfortunately not the most visited. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced more than 400 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occassional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects

Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!

There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- http://www.ceepackaging.com - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focussing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!

Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region and the sites http://www.ceepackaging.com/articles/events/ and http://www.ceepackaging.com/articles/agenda/ give a pretty good idea where future films are going to come from! Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!

In 1997 I founded Polish Business News http://www.pbn.com.pl .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).

My blog can be found via http://www.ceepackaging.com and http://www.pbn.com.pl and contains background information and more details of many of my films. This information is in English.

I have also a second blog on the site http://www.navigeo.net/blog/alan-heath-blog . This site has been recently started by a friend and I think it will soon be one of the leading travel sites in Poland, if not Central Europe. It contains additional information about some of the places and events shown in these films but most of that is in Polish.

Lovely to see this video. I used to visit this area regularly with my parents, and although that was about 30 years ago, it doesn't look a lot different. I dare say that there will be a few more hotels now though. If you are in Imperia again, try La Lanterna Bleu restaurant. I know its still there, I and spied it in your video.

@Cobbadj1 Thanks for the suggestion - I shall certainly look it up the next time I am in Imperia - but I have no idea when that will be!!

I've been to Imperia many times over the last few years and love the place. I also ate at Hobo's alan! Diano Marina is a great place too. Loved it there. :o)

Years later, I come to ask what the specific name of this 007 musical track is?

I've remembered it all this time! Very distinctive.

My father is from Imperia and we used to visit family there twice. Either we took the scenic route through Menton/Ventimiglia, coming from Monaco, or we took the Autostrada coming from Switzerland, but the motorway is not the best option, not just because it isn't very scenic from what I remember, but also because of the outrageously high toll you have to pay on any Autostrada.

I bought a 1GB stick because the battery on the camera could not hold 2GB of filming. A 1GB stick will film for around 45 minutes or so, after a full charge the camera would run for about this long (more or less).

I only started filming when film was added to my website in the summer of 2006. Having said that I get a lot of pleasure from seeing films like this!
