Category: Places to visit

Another month of our trip is passing.

We are in Turkey in close proximity to Syria. We continue to the east as far as the border with Armenia and Georgia.

Coming in a kind of circle in Turkey, we finally cover over 4,300 km in this country.

Towards Europe

Heading again towards Europe, we visit Bulgaria, Romania and enter Moldova and the independent Transnistria. When visiting both capitals, Chisinau and Tiraspol, we spend some time in these pro-Russian climates, the extraordinary Moldavian wines and Transnistrian Kvint - cognac help.

Romania, Serbia, Hungary and Slovakia again. Except for empty spaces, rivers and lakes; we visit each of the capitals. In Serbia, by chance, we come across a beer festival and our road is pleasantly long ...

Without major excesses at the borders, apart from long discussions with officers on the "eastern" borders (Moldova and Transnistria), the entire expedition safely reaches the starting point, i.e. Żywiec.

Tally

Summarizing our activities, we visited 15 countries, crossing 22 borders at the same time. We spent 100 days and nights in our Mitsubishi Pajero in great comfort :)

We visited 12 capitals. We bathed in 5 seas.

We burned (shameful) 1,682 L of diesel. Average fuel price 1.1 Euro / 1 L.

The average fuel consumption of our roadster, including hundreds of serpentines, high passes and offroad is 10 L / 100km. Accommodation cost nothing for it !!!

Thoroughly counting the trip, we spent on fuel, food, pcr tests, oil change in Turkey, sightseeing, beer, wine, other attractions and all the rest (for 3 people and Pajero) 3,666 euro = 16,500 PLN

We came back convinced of the correctness of the decision made.

This road, these days, places and time have not changed us diametrically. They confirmed on several points. They bared others. They showed our weaknesses. The project gave us some lessons. Many emotions, different perspectives ... it strengthened us and allowed us to reach the strengths of our family.

Adventure is an adventure.

Now dreams and ...

Elite from Australia

One TV in the trailer is not enough? Australians will add two more, and a washing machine and dryer. The entire family of Elite caravans consists of several dozen models. However, there are three basic series, although it must be admitted that there is a lot of variety within each of them. Elite , as the name suggests, wants to produce elite (read - luxury) caravans. Luxury, however, has many names, so the offer includes both the diamond series, which includes trailers with very rich equipment, a family series with bunk beds, as well as the most original series of off-road trailers in this set.

Project # PajeroCamper4x3 - travel reports - A lake like a sea

I have not yet written in such a place, during this trip. We sleep in our Mitsubishi a few meters from the lake. On the opposite shore, you can see Albania. We decided to stay one more night in Montenegro. The last stage is today's 80 km of narrow roads from the capital towards the border. The shoreline of the lake is deceptively similar to the sea. The islands, located in the vicinity of the rocky coast, add charm and a misleading feeling. At some point, we decided that the place is magical and the camping will complete the day.

DaOrffo Shqiptar - how to build an expedition caravan in Poland?

Shqiptar is a vehicle with unique off-road properties that ordinary campers, caravans or tent trailers do not have. It was created on the basis of the expedition and tourist experience of its builder. The mini camper trailer is distinguished by a unique combination of functional features, efficiency in moving off the asphalt and design. The most comfortable way, especially in difficult terrain, is to travel without unnecessary ballast. However, when we stay away from civilization, it is convenient to have at hand everything that is responsible for our well-being. When you wake up in the morning in the Fagaras Mountains, do you dream of coffee from an espresso machine served with milk foam in a ceramic mug? Or maybe in the evening, in the setting Provençal sun, we will feel like drinking pink wine in a glass? Why not? In the past, during an expedition, each long stop was preceded by emptying the contents of the trunk, pitching the tent, cooking on the grass and then sitting cross-legged around with metal cups in hands. The table and chairs usually did not fit and we had to forget about many everyday items. Minimalism works well for three-day escapades, but packing equipment into the trunk of an off-road vehicle for longer trips with the family is a difficult task. The DaOrffo expedition trailer became our companion in these near and far adventures.
