For Popeye, a good sip of canned spinach worked like blueberry gum on a gummy beast or a magic drink for the Gauls. It replaced him with months of the gym in seconds. 85 years have passed since the birth of a somewhat crazy sailor, but he still has vigor. Let's visit him in Malta!. Gone are the days when spinach was associated with a childhood nightmare. Today, no one is being forced to do it - quite the contrary. It is recommended for people who have problems with the pancreas, hypertension and constipation. It has an anti-cancer effect, it is also used by people who want to increase their muscles. There was a reason why the muscular sailor Popeye encouraged people to eat the green vegetable - and it is about him, not about spinach, that this story will be about.

The German brand Custom-Bus is already distinguished by the fact that it builds its motorhomes on the basis of Volkswagen - until recently the T5, and now the T6. But an important distinguishing feature is also the use of clever solutions - simple and practical at the same time. Volkswagen, which leaves a small plant in Langengagen in Lower Saxony after all camping modifications , is hard to distinguish from the factory T6 model . This can be an advantage for many customers, as their car will not attract prying eyes or provoke thieves. Anyway, in a motorhome, the most important thing is the interior.

At first, you might think that Goreme is a bit more complex Meteors. However, Greek monasteries carved into the rocks are by no means comparable to the Turkish open-air museum - both in terms of nature and history. Located in the central part of Turkey, the Goreme Historical National Park (Göreme Açık Hava Müzesi) is the pearl of Cappadocia, hidden in its very heart. It is situated in a beautiful valley that is proof of the genius and simplicity of nature at the same time. The park hides over 350 temples and chapels hidden in the rocks. Some are associated with the landscape on the lunar surface, others - with the work of millions of termites. There is hardly a man who would not be impressed by the sight of him. Goreme's beauty made the park a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985.

Each of us has different requirements and preferences regarding the car. Over the last few years, the selection of cars that meet the expectations of caravanning enthusiasts has significantly increased. In addition to classic station wagons, SUVs and SUVs, we also have more practical proposals. VW Transporter and Renault Trafic are the most popular buses on the market - of course, each of them is available in typical passenger versions . There are at least a dozen alternatives, but the little-known Ssangyong Rodius deserves our attention.

In all tourist guides describing the attractions of Abruzzo, we find two hermitages. They are located near Roccamorice, in the province of Pescara. Roccamorice is a small village in the Italian region of Abruzzo. It rises on a rock on which a series of gray stone houses have been built. Canyons stretch below, creating natural protection. It is eagerly visited by amateurs of rock climbing, who find here great conditions for practicing their passion. A great advantage for any nature enthusiast is the proximity of the National Park della Majella . Its landscape consists of canyons, vast plateaus that can be admired from a great height, and solitary bare stone huts (the so-called tholos, or shepherds' shelters). There are also hermitages - in several of them in the 13th century lived the monk Peter of Morrone, later Pope Celestine V.

For several years, SUVs have been one of the most popular segments (not only on the European market). In the class of universal vehicles, the Japanese are important players from the very beginning, serving functional, refined and durable structures. Virtually all of them will successfully replace the mid-range estate cars, often surpassing them in many categories. In addition to the beloved by Toyota RAV4 drivers, the Honda CRV is very popular - which especially in its latest incarnation attracts customers.

This was supposed to be the perfect title of my account of a one-day trip to Wrocław. 102 zlotys - this is the amount that would be the cost of return tickets for 2 people if we had only booked them a week earlier. But we hesitated too long and we had to pay PLN 114. A slight difference, but if you insist, the title doesn't fit anymore. But why insist?

Trip for 102

Who does not associate Pisa with the Leaning Tower in the first place? For many, the first thought is the belfry standing on the Field of Miracles, but it is not the city's only asset. It may not be able to compete with Florence or Livorno, but it is sometimes underestimated, and wrongly. Pisa is an Italian city on the Arno River in Tuscany. Its heart is the Campo dei Miracoli (Field of Miracles), to which - to paraphrase a well-known proverb - all roads in Pisa lead. It is home to the Duomo Cathedral, the Baptistery and the Torre Pendente (Leaning Tower). There are never a shortage of tourists taking a picture of themselves in a pose supporting the marble structure. Its characteristic tilt is due to the collapse of the belfry in the sandy ground.

For several years, a real revolution has been taking place on the automotive market, the place of the classic segments is quickly taken over by niche structures - meeting many different expectations. Among the popular Japanese, Korean and German SUVs on the Polish market, their budget alternative has been boldly making for several years. Renault is to blame for everything. The French a few years ago decided to make a little-known, communist brand - Dacia - a serious player. After the success of the first few models, production of the affordable SUV began in 2010 . The neat body was drawn in a very thoughtful way, the effect of the designers' work is liked by virtually everyone. By paying a few hundred zlotys, we can diversify the appearance of the Romanian car with solid sills made of steel pipes , as well as a tubular cover for the front bumper (it is an excellent basis for accessory lighting). Active users will also appreciate the large rear-view mirrors and the solid chrome-plated roof rails .

When passing through the Netherlands on the A20 motorway, let's slow down for a moment (preferably the longer one) halfway between Gouda and Rotterdam. The lowest point of the country is located here, and the entire region delights with the beauty of polders. If you consider that "to get down" means "to get depressed," it will be both a metaphorical and a literal explanation. Depression is the area below sea level, which is somewhat below sea level. In a Dutch town we can find both this depressive pit and the desired one - by golf enthusiasts.

What can spoil a holiday even in an exceptionally beautiful place? Undoubtedly, an itchy rash that attacks exposed areas of the skin can contribute to deteriorating mood. How to fight it?. It may seem that the topic of sun allergy is topical only during summer holidays. Unfortunately, you can also suffer from it in winter - for example, during a stay in December in a place with high temperatures. Without prior preparation, the disease will quickly manifest itself, so instead of a tan, we will bring unsightly marks on the skin from vacation.

Automatic gearboxes are available on the market practically from the very beginning of motorization, they guarantee travel comfort that is unavailable for manual counterparts. Unfortunately - especially in the eyes of Polish drivers - the machine only means a lot of problems, i.e. expensive breakdowns . So much for the stereotypical approach of many of us, the reality is different. Automatic transmissions have been offered for years in practically every segment, and show their advantages especially during typical city driving, as well as when towing heavy trailers . The users of cars with traditional transmissions know perfectly well the troublesome starting with a heavy load ( it is easy to burn the clutch ) and many other difficulties that we will not experience with the automatic transmission. Using a car with an automatic gearbox is very simple - just press the brake pedal when stationary, move the selector lever to the "D" position , then press the gas and move freely. after all, the transmission controller - in the standard setting , it ensures the lowest possible fuel consumption , switching to the highest gear as quickly as possible.
