The statistics are terrifying. In 2016, 3,026 people died on Polish roads. This is as much as 88 people more than last year. But for many of us, dry statistics do not appeal to us. That is why the National Road Safety Council prepared a special action. Statistics are just numbers, and these don't make a special impression on us anymore. However, let us imagine that an entire small town is lost as a result of the catastrophe. Mothers, fathers, children, grandmothers, grandparents ... Every year, the entire town with a population of three thousand is swept away from the surface of Poland. But this is not the result of a catastrophe beyond our control - it is the result of our often reckless behavior.

You can say a lot about Cahors, depending on what attractions of this small French town you want to focus on. It is located in the bend of the Lot River, on the southern edge of the Central Massif. It is an important center of religious tourism - it is located on the pilgrimage route to the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela in Spain, on the way of St. James. It is also known for the Roman baths and the historic Valentré Bridge, the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Devil's Bridge". However, he was famous not for the monuments, but for the vineyards, but rather the wines produced there, whose color is so deep purple that in the past they were called "black wines" from Cahors.

Perhaps traveling with a caravan is not very comfortable, but once we reach our destination, we can enjoy more spaciousness than in most motorhomes. This will also be the case with the Sterckeman Alize Trend series trailers. Despite the German-sounding name, Sterckeman belongs to the French group Trigano . And Alize Trend is the top model of this brand. This year, the design of the trailer has been even more modernized. We will not go into technical details, but we are dealing here with GRP materials, and GRP reinforcement, and XPS foam insulation. It can therefore be assumed that the vehicle will serve us in very good condition for many years. In terms of design, you can mainly attach to the brakes, which do not have a self-adjusting system .

South Tyrol is another name for the Province of Bolzano, with the status of an autonomous province, with the right to two official languages, Italian and German, equal to each other and taught in schools. This dualism is visible, for example, in in architecture, culture or in the kitchen. The provincial capital, Bolzano, is much more Austrian than Italian. Due to the large tourist traffic and high level of agricultural development, South Tyrol is one of the richest areas in Italy. Together with the other province, Trento, it forms the great region of Trentino-South Tyrol.

In the last week of July, thanks to the courtesy of Rafał Bieżuński - the exclusive distributor of Caretta trailers on the Polish market, I had the opportunity to test the Off Road off-road model. We traveled with two adults and a two-year-old child. We spent seven nights in the trailer at two different campsites and drove 400 km on different (Polish) roads, which allowed us to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the trailer. Small tear drop trailers are particularly close to my heart. I have a similar trailer and have been traveling with it for two years. I believe that a small and, above all, light trailer, especially in combination with a small bus, is the perfect set. In the article below I will try to present my subjective opinion about this Caretta Off Road model, but also to present the advantages of traveling with such a small trailer, based on my own two-year experience. We wrote about this trailer in February 2017, when the first model appeared in Poland - you can read the article here: Caretta Off Road now also in Poland .

Carinthia is the perfect choice for people who love both mountains and water, and it is difficult for them to decide where to go on vacation each time. This federal state in southern Austria offers plenty of entertainment for tourists - all year round. In winter, fans of skiing, snowboarding and freeriding come to it, cyclists set out on the routes from spring, and as soon as the weather normalizes, tourists besiege the lakes. It is a beautiful region where the only thing we will worry about is that we will not be able to see all the attractive places. But is the internal pressure to return to Carinthia as fast as possible any problem?.

When we see an integrated motorhome, we think, "Oh! This vehicle is definitely big and spacious. " However, in the case of Hymera Exsis-i, we may feel a bit disappointed. The shortest model is only 599 cm long, which is the same as some camper vans!. Producers are outdoing each other in finding new niches on the market. And this is probably the most important reason why gems such as Hymer Exsis-i are available for sale. Dimensions like the Fiat Ducato, but the look of the liner. And since the neighbor does not notice the difference and even being an expert on motorhomes, it is easy to confuse Exsis-i with Hymerami of higher classes, why overpay;).

We can also observe Lipizzan horses and Carniolan bees, and taste delicious potica cakes. The picturesque Slovenian land is advertised with the slogan "I feel Slovenia", which is intended to illustrate the balance between nature and reliability of Slovenes and refers primarily to unspoiled nature and emphasizes the effort to preserve it. Slovenia is the greenest region in Europe. Only there we have a chance, after two hours by car, to see the Mediterranean Sea and the Alps .
