There are places where you can relax like nowhere else. There are no crowds, noisy discos and no traffic jams. One of such places is Montmorillon, the Book Town in France. In the era of smartphones, tablets, computer games, which more and more people play passionately while driving a tram or bus, it is less and less common to find someone who reads an ordinary paper book. Some even make the bold thesis that hardly anyone reads them today. However, this thesis is not so much bold as it is untrue - there are still many lovers of literature on paper. Maybe you just see less of them on a daily basis.

Celtic Rambler is the most expensive caravan in the offer of the British brand Fifth Wheel . If you dream about a huge trailer that can be attached to e.g. a pickup truck, you couldn't have found a better place!. Let's start with the disadvantage. You cannot pull this trailer with a Fiat Seicento or even a Volkswagen Golf. The minimum will be a strong pickup, because the Celtic Rambler caravan weighs 3,200 kg. When fully loaded - 1,100 kg - we will achieve the permissible total weight of 4,300 kg . And if so, then a B-category driving license is not enough and you have to add Viatoll (road tolls) when traveling in Poland.

Driving for many hours at night is always a challenge for the body. It is also a big responsibility for the driver, especially if it is taking family or friends. But what to do when, despite fatigue, you have to keep going?. Drowsiness behind the wheel can get us at different times. In addition to not sleeping, the reason may also be high outside temperature or too much heating in the car. It is also natural to weaken concentration after a heavy meal, especially in the afternoon. However, the most difficult thing to be vigilant is around 4 a.m. - this is the most critical time when it is difficult to control the body's natural reflexes.

Ways to get tired behind the wheel

A sea of flowers in summer, fluffy snow in winter and alpine views - this is the Alpbachtal, a valley where time stands still. We find here the Thinkers' Village, the Congress Center, freeride areas and kilometers of routes. Perfect snow conditions, a network of modern lifts and an extensive tourist infrastructure - these are the advantages of practically every ski resort located in the Austrian Alps. Although some of them are similar to each other like twin sisters, it does not mean that they have nothing to tempt tourists with. On the contrary. A great example is the Alpbachtal ski area , where Alpbach shines like a pearl, a charming village situated on a rocky ledge above the valley.

Volkswagen Ogórek, Samba, Transporter, Bus, Kombi, Bulik, Hippie Van, T1 / T2 or even Camper - this car was called variously in various regions of the world and in various variants, but everywhere it aroused above-average interest and sympathy. After 67 years, its production ends. Not everyone knows that a car called in Poland (because of its shape) a cucumber is still being produced. But even in Brazil, where it still rolls off the assembly line, this iconic car is coming to an end. As usual, success is the result of many coincidences. It all started with the Volkswagen Beetle, and later with its delivery version. On the basis of the enlarged "people's car" with a reinforced floor, a version of the bus was also prepared, called Samba.

Polish MPs are preparing a bill that will force drivers to use appropriate tires in winter. For now, it is a voluntary matter. But when going abroad, we should check what regulations apply in a given country. If we only drive on Polish roads, for now the decision rests with us - drivers. Current regulations require that a tire - whether summer, winter or all-season - must have a tread of at least 1.6 mm. However, in winter conditions this is definitely not enough. Specialists recommend using tires with a minimum tread in winter. 3.5mm.

When and in which country do you need to change your tires?

In the heart of Thailand, approximately 80 km north of the capital, Bangkok, is the country's historic center, Ayutthaya. In the past it was a powerful Thai commercial and cultural center, today it is a somewhat forgotten but undoubtedly noteworthy place. The city was the capital of Thai people for 417 years. When getting to know the province with the same name, it is also worth tasting the local specialties. One of them is Roti Sai Mai, an Asian cotton candy wrapped in thin pancakes. Another culinary curiosity is a dessert made of sesame, sugar, beans and rice, which can be bought in portions - it is available in most stores.

When it's warm, just get in and drive. But traveling in winter is much more demanding. First, the car needs to be properly prepared, and if we do not have a garage, we will have a daily ritual of scraping windows. And also the traffic jams when it is impossible to drive because of snow ... Let us not follow the road builders - let us not be surprised by the winter! Before frost and snow attack, let's prepare properly. It is best, of course, to perform a winter inspection in the service center, but the absolute minimum is to change the tires to winter ones, refilling the washer reservoir with liquid resistant to bitter frost , and checking the level of other fluids. It is also worth checking the condition of the wiper blades and replacing them if necessary.

Christmas is the time millions of people around the world are waiting for. It is also a time when a special person takes the attention of many children. This is Santa Claus, who lives in Rovaniemi on a daily basis. There is probably no better time to describe Santa's Village than the end of December. Located on the Arctic Circle, Rovaniemi seems to us, Poles, infinitely far away. So far that some people doubt the existence of a smiling good-natured bearded man in red clothes. And wrongly, because it is enough to write a letter to get an answer in an envelope with a stamp from Lapland. Sometimes you have to wait a few months for her, but Saint is very busy. He does not lack jobs all year round, despite the help of elves, dwarfs and trolls. And of course the reindeer.
