Lush green, the gentle contours of the hills covered with hectares of vine plantations and the lazily meandering river - this is the landscape of the Duoro Valley, a region in northeastern Portugal that produces the famous port wine. On both sides of the river, from Peso da Regua to the very border with Spain, there are plantations. Over the course of several centuries, thousands of narrow terraces for vine cultivation have been created, and their beauty scattered along the steep banks of the river has been appreciated by experts and since 2001 the landscape of the Douro Valley has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The wine-growing tradition of the region is approx. 2 thousand. years, and the area covers 10% of the total area of vines in Portugal.

A passion for exploring the world can be developed in a child from an early age. Thanks to this, parents will raise a little traveler who is curious about new things, resolute and daring. The whole family can go camping together and spend the night in a tent. Before that, however, you should prepare yourself properly. Such a trip perfectly teaches independence. In order to develop it even more in an offspring, it is best to include the child in camping activities. Have him help parents prepare sandwiches or spread out sleeping bags. He can also try to stick herring into the tent - having his duties, he will probably feel very grown up.

For a tent with kids

Trigano has been one of the largest motorhome manufacturers in Italy and Europe for years. Achieving such a position was possible thanks to offering tourist vehicles at prices that were very attractive compared to competitors' offers. Roller Team is a brand owned by the Italian company Trigano. What distinguishes this manufacturer is the independent production of bodies and furniture for their vehicles. Since 2001, the company has had a complex of three factories with a total area of 80,000 square meters.

T-Line motorhome - boring but practical

Every motorhome owner is familiar with the emptying of waste tanks. Theoretically, there is nothing to write home about - every campsite should have special places for it, and every caravanner should pour out the contents of his toilet there and nowhere else. However, theory is theory and life is life. Unfortunately, in the network there are many stories about neighbors pouring dirty water wherever it falls, which makes the stay at the campsite more attractive, especially in hot weather. We can assume (hope) that those who do so are doing it out of sheer ignorance.

&quot;Nothing human ...&quot; or cleaning toilets in motorhomes

Vacation has come. It is true that the world of adults still has to work, but the period of holidays and time of great rest has begun. We are surrounded by advertisements of paradise islands, beaches with white sand and water so clear that it is difficult to guess where the bottom begins. Who does not dream of going to such a place and a dozen or so days of siesta full of sunshine and joy? Unfortunately, not everyone can afford crazy trips to distant corners and trips for a few or several thousand zlotys. However, this does not mean that we have to stay at home and look sadly at successive pages on the Internet. There is no shortage of places to go without being rich. And these aren't any less beautiful places than exotic islands - they just offer other attractions.

Cheap holidays - much for little

Goal - it's an equal tan. To get it, you have to undress. There are plenty of places in Poland where you can easily throw off your clothes. We also have a long tradition in this. As the audience is usually unwelcome, nudist beaches are usually located in quiet and secluded areas, only a few kilometers from the resorts. Some are known and marked, others only those who are interested know about them. Soon you will be able to meet us in Chałupy , where - as is well known - you can sunbathe naked. It is the oldest and most famous nudist beach, which was established in 1960.

Ah, how nice it is to be a nudist ...

Off-road vehicle and motorhome in one? Yes, the American company ActionCamper converts ordinary Jeeps, incl. for pickups and motorhomes. A ready-to-travel car, after caravanning tuning costs $ 29,990 in the US. That's about $ 7,500 more than the salon version. Jeep ActionCamper JKU - this is the full name of this vehicle - is not a car for the whole family, unless the family consists of two people who like active recreation. The idea behind the creators of this version of Jeep was to create a comfortable vehicle for long trips - they would not necessarily end at the campsite.

Jeep JKU - for thrill seekers

While wandering among the dozens of attractions of the Côte d'Azur, you cannot, you simply cannot but visit Monaco. It is a tiny state, or rather a city-state, which is the second smallest independent country in the world in terms of area (right after the Vatican). It is one of the richest countries in Europe, and also one of the most prestigious resorts. It lives mainly from tourism, the production of luxury items and… postage stamps. It is located approx. 18 km from Nice, while the journey from Poland to this charming country will take us all day.

The pearl of the French Riviera - Monaco

On Thursday morning Tomek called -Hey. Fast action, are we going to Greece on Wednesday? How could I say no ?! Especially when the Easter turn of winter only persuaded to flee towards the sun, sea, beach and rocks. The plan was this: we fly to the island of Kos, from there we sail to Kalymnos, the Greek climbing Mecca (over 1000 climbing routes). We had a few days to organize everything, a weekly return flight with Ryanair cost about PLN 900 for both of us, including additional luggage and the rest of the fees, accommodation in this period costs 25 euros for a studio for two people (20 euros for one), we found it for 18 euros and packing, which was not so easy looking at the weather outside the window. There was a snowstorm in Krakow on Wednesday morning. We sat in the plane for over an hour waiting for the plane to be cleared of snow and we could take off. There was stress drowned out by thoughts of sunny Greece. Luuhuu, finally around 11:15 we managed to take off. Around 1:30 pm the turbulence started, we circled something and we landed. What some people started to clap -So Polish. After a while it turned out that we are not in Kos at all, but in Crete. We were told it was just a stopover, they would refuel the plane and we were going on, because there are bad weather conditions over Kos: wind, rain and all the rest. After less than an hour of sitting on the plane, we got new information from the captain - We're going back to Krakow! We will not land in Kos today, you will fly tomorrow. That's when the atmosphere started to get hot! It looked dramatically hilarious. The babies started to get into a row, especially the one who wanted to rebel all passengers against the service. She exclaimed, "Let's not be fooled!" We will not fly anywhere tomorrow! Come on everyone, let's get off here in Crete! The children began to cry, parents exchanged diapers, flight attendants carried water. This atmosphere lasted for about 2 consecutive hours. There were newer and newer information from the captain all the time, incl. that today there is a storm over Kos, so nothing will land there, that there are ferries on strike today, so nothing is sailing. Passengers discussed what to do, called family and friends who checked possible connections from Crete.

Greece - Hey Ho Adventure!

A team of eight students from Rzeszów set out to conquer Scandinavia. Their project wyprawybusem.pl is simple. They want to visit as many European countries as possible in their Volkswagen T3 caravelle. The point is not to "include" as many countries as possible, but to visit them thoroughly. They have been driving for two years - Western and Central Europe are behind them. Now, another 10,000 kilometers will come to a considerable mileage, because this time they went to Nordkapp, which is one of the northernmost points of the old continent.

By 25-year-old bus to the Nordkapp

New regulations enter into force in November. Poland will soon start implementing an automatic information exchange system with other EU countries about cars whose drivers have been involved in road crimes or offenses. This is the result of the entry into force of the Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on facilitating the cross-border exchange of information on road safety related traffic offenses. Now also our compatriots abroad do not go unpunished, but it is known that it can be different. We know from autopsy that photos from, for example, German speed cameras do not always arrive. So far, the driver data exchange system works quite poorly. Each country can apply for help to find the whereabouts of a person who has an unpaid fine, but in practice it does not work.

Foreign seats will follow us to Poland

Do you think you've seen everything? I guess you are wrong after all. Forest River offers caravans that are partly made of plastic and partly of fabric. In addition, elements of the material can extend far beyond the outline of the body ... Is it a tent? Is that a trailer? It's hard to say, actually. Certainly, however, the American Flagstaff and Rockwood constructions are original. Forest River vehicles are a combination of a trailer and a tent. This solution has several advantages. When traveling, the car can pull a small and light trailer, which should be much easier to drive. The unladen weight is, depending on the version (and there are 31 of them for each of both models!), About 1200-1400 kg .
