This year's novelty from the Burstner brand is ... a compact, semi-integrated camper with an alcove. Its appearance in the offer of the German manufacturer is the best proof that the twilight of motorhomes with a fixed bedroom over the heads of the driver and passenger has not yet come. On the one hand, there is a growing interest in motorhomes, and on the other - motorhomes with fold-down beds. From year to year, however, there are less and less traditional tourist cars with an alcove. Now, however, lovers of such vehicles are given a new reason to be pleased.

When we think of cameras, some of the biggest brands usually come to mind. Nikon certainly appears among them. One of the most influential manufacturers of photographic equipment in the world. In this article, we will look at the history of this company and find out why it is still worth using this equipment. The Nikon company was founded in 1927 in Tokyo. It was then that three small optical factories decided to join forces and enter the photographic market together. The first name of the company was Nippon Kogaku Kogoyo, in Polish it means the same as a Japanese optical glass manufacturer from Tokyo. The name perfectly showed the assortment of the company at that time. They were mainly spotting scopes, microscopes and binoculars. The production of photographic lenses was started a little later. In 1946, work on the first model of the camera began, and in 1948 the Nikon I went on sale. It quickly turned out that the products offered by the Japanese brand were not only as good as those from European producers, but even exceeded them in terms of quality. In the 1950s, Nikon equipment crossed the borders of Japan for the first time and hit the world market. Interestingly, the Korean war contributed to this. War correspondents went to Tokyo to repair or maintain their equipment. It was there that they had the opportunity to see Nikon products for the first time. When they noticed that their designs were superior to well-known German brands, they quickly started using Japanese lenses. Thanks to the American press, information spread around the world and Nikon was gaining more and more popularity. To Mark's reputation, it was appreciated by NASA, and the Nikon F camera model was a fixture in American spacecraft.

For the 2016/2017 season, Laika has prepared two new versions of its motorhomes. Although the Italian brand also offers fully integrated vehicles, the new products concern semi-integrated vehicles without alcoves, i.e. those that may be of interest to the largest group of customers. The Kreos model with a lowered roof (i.e. without an alcove) is available in seven variants. The latest one is called 3009 and is probably the most important novelty in Laika's 2017 offer . Although it is difficult to talk about a revolution in this case, this model can count on the interest of buyers.

Much has been said and written about Andalusia - that it is a bridge between continents, a mosaic of cultures and the California of Europe. What is certain is that this is one of the more exotic and diverse areas of the old continent. This is where the great expedition of Christopher Columbus also began. Today we will take you on a journey through this amazing land. We invite you to read a practical guide to Andalusia!. It is worth starting your sightseeing in Andalusia in Cordoba, a former Muslim power. The greatest monuments of those times is the mosque - Mezquita, which was later rebuilt into a cathedral with nearly 800 columns. In the city you will also find the well-preserved arch bridge Ponte Romano and the famous Alcazar, a system of fortifications in which inquisition processes have been carried out for years. Seville is a modern metropolis worth stopping by for more than a day. Visitors can visit the Giralda belfry and the mighty cathedral with the statue of Christopher Columbus. Other notable attractions are the Museum of Fine Arts, the Royal Palace, Pilate's House, the Santa Cruz district and Plaza Espana. One of the most beautiful parts of the southern coast of Spain is Cabo de Gatta. However, we will not find kilometers of resorts in it, and raw cliffs creating stunning views that have become the set of many films. One of the most important points on the map of Andalusia is Cadiz, founded over 3000 years ago by the Phoenicians. The towers of the Church of Santa Cruz and the nearby cathedral dominate the city. Mina Square and the Cadiz Museum located on it are a must-see. Pueblos Blancos, or "white towns", is a group of several towns, including Olvera, Grazelma, Ubrique and Arcas de la Frontera.

Autumn is here for good. It makes itself felt by capricious weather, cold and gusty wind. Soon after it will be snow, chill and frost. In the mountains, its first signs can be found now. For our comfort, it is very important to ensure thermal comfort during this unfavorable time. It will allow you to enjoy every day regardless of the weather. That is why we have prepared two sets of men's baselayers made of unique merino wool, which will keep you warm in any situation. Products made of this wool are extremely warm, and they breathe very well, wick moisture depending on the season, heat or cool and leave the skin dry. Merino wool has thinner fibers than ordinary wool, so it is nicer to the touch and does not scratch. It is also antibacterial, has self-cleaning properties, does not pick up static and is allergy friendly. Unfortunately, it is also more expensive than other materials - but it is still worth investing in!.

What is associated with Denmark? Of course, Legoland and you do not have to be a parent of toddlers who would very much like to go to a town made of millions of bricks. More than one adult will have a great time here, forgetting about age or position. Anyway, we are all children in our souls - some only need to be reminded of this. The Danish Legoland is the perfect place for that. The famous block town is located in Billund, in the southern part of the country. It is the largest park of this type in the world (it covers an area of 14 hectares), it is also the oldest of all Legolands. Annually, it is visited by about 1.8 million tourists, which makes the park the largest tourist attraction in Denmark outside Copenhagen. It's a great place for a family trip - Legoland Billund is divided into several thematic lands, so everyone will find something for themselves. There are several dozen types of cable cars (including a 30-meter long roller coaster), and various carousels, slides and miniatures of buildings such as the Royal Palace or the stadium of FC Copenhagen. This is only a fraction of the attractions, because there are still cinemas with 5D technology, observation towers, balloon boats, a mini-town where you can pass the driving test (unfortunately, the driver's license after such a course is valid only in Legoland), pirate island, house fears ... It takes a long time to exchange, and you will forget about something. Is it any wonder that the block amusement park attracts like a magnet? In Danish, "Leg godt" means "Have fun", but "good" is definitely not enough for such a huge dose of joy and adrenaline. If you are not on your way to Denmark, you can visit the closer Legoland and go on a trip to Germany .

Have fun in Billund!

About 250 kilometers from the border with Poland is Eger, a Hungarian city famous for high-quality wine. In autumn, the air smells special in it, because then the grape harvest season approaches, celebrated by both the inhabitants and the crowds of tourists visiting the city. The landmark of Eger, its symbol, is the fortress visible from afar. Regardless of which side we enter the city from, we will see it first. Solid, high walls spread over a steep hill catch the eyes of tourists. It was thanks to the castle that the city was able to defend itself in the 13th century against the invasions of enemy troops - since then, the Eger fortress is for Hungary what Częstochowa is for Poles.

Integrated Pilote motorhomes have gained a new "face". This is a good opportunity to take a look at the refreshed range of Galaxy models. This is not the first time that a French manufacturer is trying to convince us by proposing an incredibly large selection of variants - in this case, there are as many as 18 of them!. Pilote did something surprising. Usually, the manufacturers of motorhomes, the so-called A-classes try to distinguish their cars as much as possible from the base cars, i.e. - most often - from Fiat Ducato . The point is that when looking at, for example, a fully integrated Hymer or Hobby, we do not have the impression that we are watching a Ducato with attached camping accessories.
