Can we speak of a monument when it was built from scratch, from ruins? When we talk about the monastery on Monte Cassino Hill, no one doubts that it is an object of great historical and cultural importance, despite the fact that it was reborn in the 20th century. During your vacation in the Eternal City, it is worth devoting one day to a trip to Monte Cassino, to the hill where a battle of great importance for Poles took place. After the bloody events of 1944, the cemetery where the soldiers of General Anders' group are buried, remained. For the rest of the world, Monte Cassino is home to Europe's most important Benedictine Abbey. It is also the place where "Ora et labora", or "Pray and work" - the rule of religious life, comes from.

For many decades, Swedish car manufacturers were famous for their indestructible turbocharged gasoline engines and their great concern for the safety of passengers . To date, Volvo's approach has not changed (the other Swedish brand - Saab - is struggling with huge problems), and the new Chinese owner of the brand has a lot to do with it. Cars with supercharged gasoline engines, contrary to appearances, are an excellent alternative to vehicles with diesel units. They not only offer more power and torque , but also emit much less harmful substances into the atmosphere . In the Volvo model range, apart from SUVs and regular station wagons, the S60 model is also suitable for us - caravanning enthusiasts. This classic sedan of the middle class, despite the less practical body, works exceptionally well during summer trips.

On the coast of Northern Ireland you can see something that will stop the viewer in half a step, opening his mouth in surprise. The basalt columns placed tightly next to each other create a landscape straight from SF movies from the 1980s. Anyone who watched "The Golden Child" with Eddie Murphy will know what we're talking about. There is a very original rock formation in the Irish county of Antrim. It is called the Giant's Causeway, or the Way of the Giants. Situated among the scenery of cliffs, it has fascinated artists for centuries not only with the number of columns it consists of (over 35,000), but also with the shape they formed. They froze in this form about 50-60 million years ago, and their formation is explained by the blow cracks that arose during the period of lava solidification.

Concern for road safety standards is an extremely popular pretext for creating new and new forms of disciplining drivers. Especially in Poland, it has become a kind of substitute for serious road modernization in the name of safety. While traveling around Poland, we have already got used to speed cameras and traffic officers equipped with popular dryers and unmarked police cars with video recorders. In virtually every commune, he or she may come across one of the above-mentioned devices in the moment of inattention.

The segment speed measurement is now working

The resort of Bol, located on the southern shore of the island of Brač, has been known to surfers since the beginning of the 1970s. For many of them it is a favorite place for windsurfing, just as the local beach is the queen of the beaches of the entire coast. Probably not everyone knows that the marble that was used to build the White House came to the United States from across the ocean - from the Croatian island of Brač. The third largest Adriatic island has been known for its mining for years, but it owes its fame not only to the valuable building material.

Can the free navigation on the phone successfully replace a professional device with paid maps updated? We checked and we already know that it is. However, you should be aware that there may be some problems from time to time ... Do you want to replace the standard navigation with an Android smartphone? I did just that!. I have already used many navigation systems, and for the last 2-3 years I have used AutoMapa successfully. However, I had it installed on a very slow device (I had to wait a few minutes for the system to boot), and besides, I was irritated by the need to periodically pay for subsequent updates. Besides, when I went to Germany for a few days, I did not want to buy a map of the whole of Europe.

Free navigation on the phone - is it worth using?

The Philippines is slowly ceasing to be a distant exoticism unattainable for mortals. More and more often you can hear about a friend or acquaintance of a friend who went there. Only a few years ago, Thailand was treated like this, which today is an attractive and at the same time more and more accessible destination. One of the Filipino islets where tourism reaches, but still hasn't turned into a commercial one, is Palawan. It is called the pearl of the Philippines and it is by no means an exaggeration, because we will see landscapes on it as if from a fairy tale or from a garden of paradise. That's not all - it is here on the island of Palawan that the world's largest pearl was discovered. It took place in 1934, and the pearl was, in fact, 6.4 kg.

Today it is hard to imagine a great camping experience without a comfortable chair, armchair or a practical table. Fortunately, the range of tourist furniture available on our market is still growing. When going camping, why is it worth buying furniture that has been constructed from scratch as touristic, and not what you can find in most garden furniture stores?. Furniture for gardens and balconies is usually heavy and cannot be folded. Such equipment in a motorhome or caravan would take up a lot of space and constitute a burdensome ballast. Meanwhile, companies that produce equipment not for gardeners, but for tourists, must ensure that their products are light and easy to assemble . They should also be extremely durable - both to weather conditions, frequent folding and unfolding, and to shocks occurring during transport.

According to Greek mythology, the nymph Aegina was forced by Zeus to become one of his lovers. The debauched god kidnapped her to the island of Ojnone, where she bore him a son. Years later, Ajakos returned to the island and named it after his mother. The most beautiful Greek island, which probably no one has heard of yet - this is how The Huffington Post website called Aegina. In fact, despite all its charm, it is not as popular with tourists as it could. Although that does not absolutely mean that it is not popular. Not at all. Vacationers often visit her during their stay in Athens, which is only a short distance away. A large percentage of people who come to Aegina want to spend the weekend or more time calmly, enjoying the lack of crowds and intimacy.
