Going on vacation does not have to be off-line. More and more often we want to have Internet access in our place of rest. Fortunately, this is possible both in a motorhome and in a caravan. There are more and more offers on the market aimed at drivers who would like to "catch" the Internet in their car. There are, for example, car navigations using the Internet provided by a mobile phone. In addition, we can easily buy, for example on Allegro, an antenna that can receive a signal from public Wi-Fi networks.

We decided to relax and today we invite you on a trip to Amsterdam - the city of tulips, coffee shops and many cultures. Of course, we are going to the Netherlands in a camper because driving on the local roads is a real pleasure. There are many routes and they are usually well marked. What you need to be especially careful about, however, is the speed at which you are driving. Speed cameras and the police do not forgive anyone, and the penalties are severe. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 50 km/h. threatens to confiscate the car, take away the driving license and take the case to court. Detailed regulations regarding traveling in the Netherlands can be found on our website: Road traffic regulations in the Netherlands .

Amsterdam - the city of freedom

Our journey began right after the end of the Warsaw Orange Festival at the end of May. We left Warsaw around midnight, the first destination was Cavallino in Italy, from which we were to get to Venice by public transport. We got there after about thirteen-hour journey through the Czech Republic and Austria. We spent the first Italian day enjoying the sea and local wine. The next morning we went on the bus to Punta Sabbioni, from where we took the vaporetto to Venice. I think that the idea of getting to Venice in this way was very good because for buses and trams in both directions, we paid more or less as much as for the parking in the city of lovers. In addition, accommodation at the campsite is several times cheaper than any sleeping place in Venice.  After two days in Italy, on the third day we had a trip to Croatia. We did not have any specific plans for the rest of our holiday, we arranged everything on a regular basis. On the way, we decided to go to Pula.

When we got up on August 15 in the morning, nobody expected that the first day would be full of surprises. The weather was bad, it was cloudy and rainy, and we had to hand over our bus to a mechanic to fix the first failure that delayed our trip by several hours. When we were finally complete, in the evening we set off towards the border crossing in Zwardoń. We spent the first two days in Austria , where we saw the tourist town of Villach, visited the Alpenarena - the famous ski jump complex, and even rested on one of the Danube's tributaries - the Drava River.

Niesmann + Bischoff GmbH is a German company that currently offers only two vehicles. They are fully integrated Arto and Talent motorhomes . Let's take a look at the cheaper one. There is a reason to dedicate an article to the Arto model. In the plebiscite of The Motorhome Awards 2013, this motorhome won the title of Luxury Coachbuilt Of The Year 2013 . Although what you like is a very subjective issue, let's agree that beauty is not the greatest asset of this vehicle. It will be undisputed that the appearance is original. It is impossible to find any connections with the Fiat Ducato it is based on, and it is easy to distinguish it from other motorhomes.

The aura - like every woman - can be capricious. It is not always good for tourists and can cover the sky with clouds at the most unexpected moment. When it's gray, cloudy and rainy outside, and you know that the tour will have to be postponed, you can spend your time staying at the campsite differently. When it rains, you don't want anything. Tourists who come in a motorhome can sit at the table with a cup of hot coffee and read a book. On the other hand, there are many people who want to use their time as best as possible during their stay at the campsite, i.e. actively, even if there are streams of rain falling from the sky. And a lot depends on the campsite itself which you chose. On the large ones, we usually find many more attractions than just a restaurant, shop or lounge. Nothing prevents you from turning an unfavorable aura into a reason to spend your day in a pleasant way.

Camping in the rain

Thanks to the retractable roof, you can spend a romantic night under the stars - encourages the Polish distributor of the Dethleffs brand. Such a solution is available in the Tourist SD caravans. Dethleffs Tourist trailers are available in Poland in seven variants. Three of them are marked SD, the rest are HD. The SD model is available in lengths of 613 and 663 cm. The HD gives you more choice - in addition, a length of 543 cm is available. Each Tourist is 210 cm wide , so it is relatively narrow, which means less space in the middle on the one hand, and easy driving on the other.

Camping conditions can be a real challenge for producers of various gadgets that are to make life easier for us in the field. We looked at a few of them. When writing about ingenious camping and camping gadgets, we cannot ignore the BioLite Camp Stove stove. The brilliance of this invention is that it does not need gas or any other conventional fuel. Instead, a few dry sticks or cones are enough, and a barbecue kindling will come in handy. Camp Stove is a stove that allows you to heat food in a very efficient (and effective) way, while producing little smoke. Thanks to the fan (before the first use, you need to charge its battery), the fire is properly inflated, generating as much heat as possible. As a result, half a liter of water can be heated in about 2 minutes.

Gadgets that neighbors at the campsite will envy

During our stay at the campsite or camping site, we use the kitchen shared with other guests or prepare dishes on our own stove. In the case of gas stoves, you should be especially careful not to let the carbon monoxide, popularly known as carbon monoxide, escape. Similar rules apply to grilling. There are some basic rules to follow when using gas stoves on campsites or when arranging a barbecue. You should not even think about organizing a barbecue in the vestibule of a motorhome or in a tent - even if it is large and you want to have a barbecue right at its entrance. Cooking in a tent carries two risks: the first is the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, and the second is fire. It can be caused by a moment of inattention, overturning the stove, spilling fuel or scattering coals. You should also be aware that a tent, like a caravan or a motorhome, is a place with limited access to oxygen, which means that such ideas may result in an increase in the level of carbon monoxide in it.

Dangerous ideas at the campground

Which place in Europe are visited by almost 18 million tourists from all over the world each year? Where are the lakes, forests, glacial valleys and mountains with built-in stone villages? In the northwest of England, in the 55 km2 part of the National Park, stretches the Lake District - the Lake District. It is famous for its picturesque, treeless views of slightly mountainous meadows, among which nature has scattered narrow moraine lakes and stone dumps. It is a beautiful, exceptionally picturesque region with 16 lakes among the steep slopes of the mountains. The largest are Windermere (also the largest and deepest lake in England), Derwentwater, as well as Thirlmere and Bassenthwaithe. According to many people, the Lake District ranks second on the list of the most beautiful places in England - just behind the Scottish Highlands it is considered the most beautiful place on the island.

Of course, you can go camping with a trailer from Niewiadów connected to an Opel Astra or a Skoda Octavia. You can also go on a trip in a motorhome, for example converted from Fiat Ducato. But some people prefer the Mini. Camping Mini versions? Oh how! There are quite a lot of them. And although they are usually concept models, they attract fans of this stylish brand around them. Perhaps the most successful concept for leisure in the Mini version is Cowley - a caravan named after the historic factory, now known as the Oxford Factory. This caravan is distinguished by its small size and quite pleasant teardrop shape. An attentive observer will notice many elements of the body refined down to the smallest detail - and yet it is precisely for such people, who value individual style and are ready to pay dearly for it, the Mini.
