The company Bimobil from Oberpframmern near Munich, which has been converting cars into houses on wheels for over 40 years, makes a daring volt. To the disappointment of regular customers, it also presents a model that we will order with a 4x4 drive only on request. During the recently concluded CMT fair, 220,000 visitors passed through the Stuttgart halls, visiting the stands of 2,068 exhibitors from 96 countries. Not only the media attention did not escape the fact that the event's regular decided to make a breakthrough in his production program. Fans of purebred "houses on wheels" associate the Bimobil brand with bodywork on 4x4 and 6x6 vehicles. Of course, there was a debut at the stand, which confirms the leading profile of the German company, but it is the rear-wheel drive model that has the chance to popularize motor tourism among new caravanning fans.

Since 2015, liability insurance policies have gradually increased. Over the past 12 months, the average increase in prices has been around 10%. That's quite a lot, and the worst is probably yet to come. What will the new year bring us?. Many link higher prices with the introduction of the BLS (Direct Claims Settlement) system by several insurance companies in 2015. Nothing could be more wrong. BLS does not affect the prices of third party liability policies in any way, and their increase is rather caused by the introduction of special guidelines by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (Polish Financial Supervision Authority). They concern the situation of understating the compensation under third party liability insurance policies for the injured. The activities of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority are intended to curb this practice, and since the compensation is to be higher, the prices of the policies themselves as well.

BLS innocent! So who is responsible for the increase in TPL prices?

At the great lake, on which hundreds of flamingos wade, there is a huge structure that catches the eye from a distance. This is Hala Sultan Tekke, a place of pilgrimage for Muslims from all over the world, and the lake is called Larnaca Salt Lake. Among the numerous attractions of Cyprus, the Salt Lake, situated near the third largest city of the island, Larnaca, on the south-eastern coast, deserves attention. Every year thousands of birds rest there (migration corridor). They gain strength before continuing their journey, and some stay here for the winter. The lake is especially popular with flamingos, who come here every season in great numbers. It is they that attract tourists the most among the approx. 90 species living around the reservoir.

There is an absolutely amazing place in the Norwegian capital. Beautiful and terrible figures froze in it in granite and bronze at the same time - over two hundred sculptures forcing one to reflect on the course of life, the stages of its passing, and finally death. Vigeland Park (Vigelandsanlegget) is one of Oslo's top tourist attractions and is named after a sculptor who was born to sculpt. The park itself - like an organic creation - grew to become gigantic. Initially, Gustav Adolf Vigeland was commissioned by the city authorities to design a fountain.

The first Thule ski rack was created in the 1970s - since then, the company's goal has been to provide skiers with solutions that enable them to transport their equipment comfortably, safely and in style. The proof is Thule Flow - the new roof-mounted ski rack, distinguished by its aerodynamic shape and the highest level of equipment protection. Flow holds skis up to 210 cm long, and its wide, flat shape also allows you to conveniently transport snowboards, poles and other accessories. Of course, like all Thule products, the Flow is also very easy to install and easy to load - thanks to the low rack height. On the one hand, its characteristic shape is reminiscent of classic Thule products, and on the other hand, it fits perfectly with modern cars. Safety is a priority for all Thule products - the company tests all its roof boxes comprehensively, both in its own Thule Test Center ™ and under real road conditions. When choosing a Thule ski rack, you can be sure that you are choosing one of the safest and most thoroughly tested products on the market. Thule Flow is extremely easy to use and install - thanks to the quick and convenient system using the PowerClick knob. Its interior can be accessed from both sides thanks to the Dual-Side system. When developing its characteristic, streamlined shape, Computerized Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology was used - this allowed for perfect aerodynamics, reduced fuel consumption and minimized driving noise.

Buying a camper or caravan can be very expensive. No one is shocked by prices exceeding 100,000. zloty. No wonder that buyers click with interest on sales announcements with a note about the possibility of deducting 23% VAT from the purchase - it gives 23,000. PLN "savings" for every 100 thousand. PLN net price of a motorhome or caravan. Unfortunately, in practice, the matter is not so rosy - a very small part of buyers can deduct all VAT, a small part of buyers can deduct half of it, and the vast majority of customers cannot do it at all. We will also apply different regulations, at least in part, to the motorhome and to the purchase of a caravan.

The pleasure can sometimes be doubled, tripled, and even multiplied by four or five - as is the case in the towns of Cinque Terre (Five Lands). We can find them on the Ligurian Riviera, where, nestled into vertical rocks, they look at the surface of the sea. Cinque Terre consists of five Italian settlements: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola and Riomaggiore. Like the Tri-City, they are connected by a perfectly organized communication network. The train passes through them in less than 10 minutes. Traveling by it is a reasonable solution, because it is difficult to find a parking space in the high season. In addition, the road to Cinque Terre is winding and narrow, which makes maneuvering it difficult.
