The idea for a holiday vacation was born during the winter holidays. The goal was clear - Norway . Why right there? As none of the team was there, we spent our holidays in the south of Europe, and many friends who were in Norway recommended this corner of the world. Initially, while planning the route, I made an outline of it, found relatively cheap hotels on the Internet, counted the cost of fuel, ferries, accommodation and food, and ... I was scared. With four people in the Skoda Superb 2.0 TDI 140KM, the cost of a 10-day trip would be about PLN 5,000 per person (with daily runs of about 800 km, which would be simply impossible to drive with Scandinavian restrictions).

Since the largest caravanning fair is behind us, we can collect various information and think about what the year 2015 will be like. It looks like it will be an interesting season, especially when it comes to motorhomes. Good news for the industry comes mainly from Germany. There, the statistics clearly show that motorhomes are becoming more and more fashionable. Just a few years ago, it could seem that camping tourism is in retreat, and the main customers of companies producing and renting motorhomes are retirees.

Greece is delicious wine, drunk and azure sea. Greece is nice people, lively music and skin gilded with the sun. Greece offers wonderful views of the smooth surface of the water and the sharp peaks of the hills covered with olive groves. Thessaloniki is the soul of Greece. Thessaloniki is a very old city, distinguished by its size - it is second in terms of size, just behind Athens. It is located in northern Greece on the Gulf of Salonica. Among all Greek towns and resorts, it has a unique climate - not only as an extremely beautiful resort, but also as the cradle of Christianity. For here the brothers Cyril and Methodius, patrons of Europe, were born, bringing faith to Slavic lands. Here the famous orator Cicero protected himself from persecution. Finally, one of the first Christian communities was founded by Saint Paul.

Such vehicles were invented primarily for the military, and their designers probably thought that they would not have a civilian use. But wasn't it different with the Internet? Its creators also thought that such an invention would not be useful to ordinary mortals. The Mercedes-Benz Zetros is a combination of an Actros tractor unit and an off-road Unimog. Their "tourist" versions are prepared by the Hartmann company, while Huenerkopf is responsible for interior design. There are so many options to choose from that the only limitation is probably your imagination. And the laws of physics.

Bombed headquarters of the Yugoslav army, and a little further away loud clubs with the latest hits of the dance scene. A bold modernity and a quiet but meaningful past. This is Belgrade, the capital of Serbia and one of the popular destinations for party lovers until dawn. For some, a stopover in Belgrade is just a stopover on the way further south, for example to Greece. For others, it is a loud, vibrant and dancing place like Berlin or London. It is enough to spend one day here to find out that the capital of Serbia is a large and surprisingly modern city.

In the middle of Carthago's offer is the Chic C-line model. Recently, the manufacturer presented the second generation of this fully integrated motorhome model. The base is, as is usually the case, the Fiat Ducato, but who does not know it, will not know it from the outside. After 10 years, Chic C-line has seen some serious changes. From the outside, the most striking feature is the new kidney grille. The large air intake makes the camper look a bit more threatening. The large panoramic window at the front (9 cm higher than the previous generation) and the bus side mirrors encourage the driver to hit the road. The manufacturer claims that the higher glass improves visibility diagonally upwards , which is useful, for example, when we want to see if red light has already given way to green.

Lefkada is one of the most beautiful islands in the Ionian Sea. It is surrounded by turquoise waters flowing into picturesque bays with clean, loose sand. It is mountainous and covered with citrus trees, cypresses, olives and almond trees. Every Greek island is beautiful, but there are some that leave you in awe and speechless. There are those on which life flows so quickly and so intensely that they twinkle in the sea like constellations, blinking their lights until late at night. Lefkada is just such an island - it does not sleep, and everyone will find their place there, regardless of whether they came to relax on the beach, face the waves while windsurfing or sailing.

The new year will be abundant in terms of changes in Knaus' offer. Trailers go first. The German manufacturer withdraws from the production of the Sport 450LK and 460XB models, and instead introduces a new Sport 400QD trailer, which is to include all the amenities of the above models. In addition, it is to be equipped with a specially reinforced GRP roof, resistant to hail. By the way, this technology will be incorporated into the design of the currently existing models. Price around 13,200 Euro for a trailer with standard equipment.

“The autumn leaves lie along the edges of the roads, shimmering with one half of the rainbow. They look like scattered roses of all colors. Golden stains tremble in the pond. The row of trees is reflected in it differently: willow - with gray mist, red hazel - with a butterfly's wing, poplars - with dark columns ”. Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska wrote beautifully about autumn, Staff and Tuwim wrote beautifully. This is perhaps the most poetic season of the year. For a romantic walk among rustling leaves, you can go to one of the most beautiful places located right on the border with Germany - to Muskau Park (Muskau Park). It is a vast national treasure, or rather a treasure of two countries, as it was shared by Germany and Poland. The Nysa Łużycka river flowing through it forms a natural border between two countries, and the whole is connected by bridges thrown over the river: the English Bridge, the Double Bridge and two park bridges.

The time before the autumn rain and cold can be pleasantly spent on trips and exploring the world in all shades of brown and gold. But how to protect yourself from treacherous weather, how to strengthen the body against a wave of colds and flu?. This is the time of the disease season every year. Those who try their best to stop the summer go first - they dress shortly, regardless of the treacherous cool wind. As soon as the sun shines a little stronger, they act as if it's still July. Next are those who remember to wear appropriate clothing for the temperature, but their bodies are not immune enough to fight the attack of viruses. It sounds as if everyone gets sick, whatever they do. So is there a chance to protect yourself from the disease?.

The new trailer model from Lunar Caravans - Venus 540/4 is a proposal for those who have a small budget but have specific expectations. While other manufacturers focus on innovative designs or expensive equipment, the British company keeps a close eye on the market and focuses on elegant finishes and a bargain price. Venus 540/4 users won't have much to complain about. Stylish housing, durable AL-KO chassis , user-friendly Truma Digital control panel are only the first of the many advantages of the model. Despite the fact that the caravan does not have a front sunroof, there is plenty of daylight inside (we have four roof windows and one very large at the front), and we also gain additional upper space, which was used to place practical cabinets. The bathroom is also perfectly designed, its space is extremely functional. Attention is drawn to a large shower cubicle and a modern washbasin, as well as appropriate LED lighting . In the kitchen there is an oven / grill, a gas hob with three burners, a fridge and a mobile freezer. It is also worth mentioning the heating system - Truma Combi 2E , which is distinguished by extremely low energy consumption.

Roros is called the pearl of the Trondelag. It enjoys a somewhat dark fame of a haunted place, and the atmosphere is added to it by the original wooden buildings. We find them in Norway, close to the Swedish border. There are beautiful and interesting places, and there are also places that combine both of these features. When it comes to Roros, one may wonder if it is beautiful, but no one will deny him originality. It is a mining town located in the region of Norway, which is not one of the most popular tourist destinations - in its middle-eastern part. Despite the fact that it is not a very crowded place, you can get to it without any problems. Tourists going from Trondheim will reach Roros after a 2-2.5-hour drive, while those who wish to come from Oslo will take 4-5 hours.
