We stood on the harbor coast of Trieste, breathless with delight. Before our eyes, Friulia Venezia Giulia was waking up from its night sleep - one of the most charming corners of Europe. Trieste was on our Italian journey for a reason - this ancient port was for centuries one of the most important metropolises on the continent. This is where East and West met. Closing our eyes and listening to the roar of the waves of the Gulf of Trieste, we heard the crash of boats that came to the shore, carrying countless riches on board - gold, silk and precious spices. Opening our eyes, we saw an equally impressive panorama - hundreds of stylish yachts and catamarans moored opposite Barcola - an elegant seaside boulevard and one of the icons of the city. Everywhere we looked, Trieste surprised us with the splendor of architecture that was the legacy of two powerful empires: ancient Rome and 19th-century Austria-Hungary.

Thanks to its location in the southwestern part of the country, Aquitaine tempts tourists both with beaches on the Atlantic and mountain trips in the Pyrenees. It is important for Christians, many of whom make pilgrimages to Lourdes, the famous sanctuary. Fans of sports shows will not be bored there. And, as befits France, it delights wine connoisseurs - this is where the region with about 8,000 wine estates (châteaus) is located, i.e. the world-famous Bordeaux. We can start the story about Aquitaine with the cuisine, an important element of which is asparagus - because the region is famous for growing it. The menu of local restaurants is filled with fish and seafood dishes. Notable dishes include: salt in wine with seafood, sea mussels or lamprey in vegetables. A popular meal, served in virtually every pub, is cod puree with olive oil and milk - brandade. It will appeal to people who like very salty dishes. Aquitaine cuisine is based on meat.

Outside Van is an American brand that conjures up vans from ordinary Mercedes Sprinter vans - unusual, because they are prepared in accordance with the wishes of customers. We can decide on basic changes, ready-made configurations or order an individual modernization. What we can immediately like the Outside Van brand is transparency of information. We would very much like other manufacturers to envy the Americans and inform them about how long is waiting for the ordered vehicle and what costs should be taken into account. And it does not matter that the information provided on the website is very general - it gives you a good idea of what to expect.

Outside Van - Sprinter different from all the others

Pula is the largest city on the Istrian peninsula and one of the most popular (especially among Polish tourists) Croatian resorts. In the distant past, it had a significant military and trade importance in the Mediterranean basin - not only was it one of the strategically important Roman cities, it was also one of the most beautiful. Its position was overthrown only by Venice with its dynamically developing port. Pula has a well-deserved reputation as an exceptionally beautiful city, not only in the northern part of Croatia, but throughout the country. It is called Croatian Rome because of its location on seven hills, and also because of its greatest attraction - the historic amphitheater. It is the third largest facility of this type in the world (after the Colosseum and Arena in Nîmes, France). Interestingly, the marble building has survived to this day in much better condition than the Roman monument. There is a large parking lot right next to it - if you are planning a trip to Croatia by car, it is best to park it in Pula.

Levanto is an attractive town located in the Italian province of La Spezia. Thanks to its small size, it provides both residents and visiting tourists with the opportunity to relax peacefully. Not everyone knows that the town is famous for the strongest waves in Italy, which means that sometimes it is not so quiet here. Levanto is located approximately 60 km from Genoa, while the provincial capital, La Spezia, is approximately 20 km away. It has a nice, extensive bay, partially protected on the south side. Ironically, the tongue of land, which serves as a shield against sea wind attacks, is also the cause of strong waves, sometimes 3-4 meters high. They form mainly in the central part of the bay's waters - its heart. Angry waves are a tasty morsel for daredevils who come here to face the elements and, like a wild horse, try to tame one of them using a surfboard or a sail. When the strongest waves are formed, surfers come to Levanto from all over Europe. Many people planning to spend an active camping holiday in Italy consider this part of the Ligurian coast also because the water here is warm and very clean. We cannot forget about the advantages on land. Levanto boasts a long, sandy beach and lots of greenery - the surrounding areas are densely covered with olive and pine trees.

An important issue when buying four wheels and during the use of a vehicle is insurance. What should we know about it and what should we pay attention to when choosing it?. Currently, Poles focus more on buying used vehicles than buying a new car straight from the showroom. The primary reason, of course, is finance. Not all of us can afford a new vehicle, and taking a loan does not make the whole thing easier, because not everyone likes to have such obligations. The purchase also includes additional insurance-related fees. The buyer of a used car with the subject of purchase takes over the current liability insurance and all obligations related to this issue. It is good practice for both the seller and the buyer to ensure that all formalities are completed to mutual benefit. The vehicle liability insurance must be handed over. This is the seller's primary responsibility. He must provide all documents that confirm the validity of the civil liability insurance, as well as proof that the fees have been paid for them. If we sell the vehicle, we must contact the insurer within 2 weeks of the buyer contract to report the change of ownership of the vehicle. From that moment on, the buyer takes over all the obligations related to the insurance. It also has the right to withdraw from the contract in favor of another one that better suits the needs of the buyer.

Slovenia is still treated by some as a bridge or a link between countries, a sort of passage to more interesting places. Wrong, because it offers a lot of attractions on its own - and at favorable prices. They include, among others delicious white wines, pumpkin seed oil, as well as hot spring baths and truly Tuscan views. In the northeastern part of the country, right on the border, lies Prlekija, a region whose heart is the city of Ljutomer. It stretches from the rivers Drawa and Mura, from the village of Gornja Radgonja to Ormož. It is the kingdom of white wine, a picturesque area of vineyards covered with hills that reminds many people of Tuscany. A holiday in Slovenia , especially in this part, will mean visiting wineries, getting to know the flavors of local food and making contacts with the locals. They are characterized by openness and sociability, qualities which - according to legends - contributed to changing the plans of the first apostles along with wine. Instead of going on and preaching the Gospel, they preferred to stay here and grow vines. It is not without reason that the village, whose surroundings are considered the most beautiful wine landscapes of Slovenia, is called Jerusalem . It catches the eye with the red roofs above the stone houses and the gleam of the facades of temples decorating the elevations. If we come to Slovenia in spring, it is worth visiting the municipality of Veržej, which extends on the right bank of the Mur. It is especially delightful in the months when nature comes to life, covering itself with carpets of white narcissus. Tourists associate Prlekija with a characteristic landscape feature called klopotec. It is a wooden structure resembling a windmill, and its role is to deter birds from grapevine plantations.

Caravanning is associated primarily with cars towing caravans, or with motorhomes. What about motorcyclists who would like to go on a long journey and do not like hotels? It is for them - and in Poland - that the Camp-Rideres brand was born. The name Camp-Riders are used for caravans created just for those who would like to attach ... a "caravan" to their two-wheeled road cruisers. Well, this term is perhaps a bit exaggerated, but only a little. In Camp-Riders, we can not only sleep, but also use it as a vestibule for a field kitchen. First things first.

What is aventurine glass associated with? The name, exotic for some, has nothing to do with Advent - it is a term for glaze that was invented on the Italian islands of Murano, creating them by chance ("per aventura"). Metal filings got into the molten glass mass, which gave the glass a unique flash. Another name for a beautiful synthetic is the stone of a thousand suns, golden red is called "sand of the desert", while dark blue is called "Cairo night". Isn't it romantic? As befits the work of Italians.
