If you think about caravanning trips, your imagination suggests pictures of caravans and motorhomes in which the living area is permanently integrated with the seating area. However, there is also another solution - mounting an expedition container. Buying a motorhome is often deterred by the fact that such a car is often used for only a few weeks a year. So there is a dilemma as to whether to spend money to buy and maintain a vehicle that will be standing rather than driving most of the time. However, is there any alternative? It turns out that it is, although let's be honest - it is not a solution for everyone.

Expedition container? An alternative to a motorhome

Family trips are a great adventure. Spending time together and getting to know new places brings us closer and strengthens the bonds between the members. Parents show their children the world, children absorb knowledge about the area they are exploring, and everyone has a lot of fun doing it. But there is often a problem - sometimes you have to spend several long hours traveling before you get there. If we travel with teenagers, they will take their time on their own. However, if we are taking care of several-year-olds, at best, we are faced with questions: "Are we there yet?" asked every few minutes. For many parents, such a trip is a test of patience, but if planned well, it can be as enjoyable as the sightseeing itself.

Baby on board, or what to do for children while driving

"My delight was great when I saw this city and saw so many bell towers and monasteries and buildings, all on the water ..." - the description of Philippe de Commynes, a fifteenth-century French chronicler, also fits well with modern realities. Venice is beautiful, romantic, full of elegant architecture, mansions, palaces and churches. You can fall in love with it. Tourists are delighted with the view of the city from the side of Lido di Jesolo or Punta Sabbioni. You must have a camera, and it will turn out to be especially valuable during a ferry ride - the landscapes you watch are breathtaking. When visiting the city, it is worth buying ferry tickets , which also entitle you to use the Venetian water trams and buses (outside the city). The price of a 72-hour ticket is around 30 euros.

If the price does not matter to you, but the greatest comfort is what counts, we have something for you. The American Prevost H3-45 VIP is the highest level of luxury that can be imagined in a motorhome, or rather - in a tourist bus. Do you want to make a great impression on other campsite users? Bigger is hard to imagine! The Prevost H3-45 VIP has a wheelbase of 8 meters and a height of 3.8 meters. Under the flat floor there are cavernous hiding places with a capacity of more than 500 cubic meters. The independent suspension is said to provide a truly regal travel comfort. But the fact that the interior feels like a palace is of course the main advantage of equipping this huge motorhome.

Prevost - the upper limit of luxury

While traveling in the south of Italy, you may experience great dilemmas - common sense tells you to go back, but admiration does not allow it. Why not stay here one day longer? After a short thought, you can head west and walk towards the beautiful town of Reggio di Calabria . If Italy looks like a shoe to so many people on the map, then the journey to Reggio will be on the inside of the foot. But what a beautiful foot!. We noticed the beauty of Reggio di Calabria in historic Lecce . Now, driving west, we will pass several towns where the air is full of the atmosphere of a typical Italian town. There is no other way to describe it. Driving through Francavilla Fontana , one cranes one's neck to see if Sophia Loren might emerge from around one corner to - like in a scene from the film entitled "Italian style of marriage" - walk proudly and attract the attention of all men. In addition to memories of the classics of Italian cinema, the town also has several monuments, palaces and monuments. It is worth paying attention to, among others: to Porta del Carmine , the 17th-century city gates resembling a triumphal arch, or Chiesa del Rosario with its impressive dome. Looking at some of the city's monuments (and not only this one), one may get the impression that in many cases their beauty lies precisely in their domes - in the line of sight they are quite modest, without any decorations, so to admire them, you have to raise your head high or look from a distance.

Almost all campers are based on the construction of passenger cars, sometimes you can meet vehicles resembling small buses. The Liner de Luxe, however, is completely different, because its base is ... a MAN TGL truck with a 4-5 liter 220 HP engine. ... can impress not only with its external dimensions and spaciousness of the passenger area. The garage may be even more surprising. In a large motorhome, we can usually count on a storage space, which at best will fit a motorcycle. But in this respect, nothing beats the Carthago model, which can accommodate a Smart two-seater or a Fiat 500 four-seater!.

A holiday on the Italian coast, especially in summer, is something everyone should experience at least once in their life. If only to be able to feel this wonderful atmosphere every time he looks at a photo of a romantic cove, incredibly clear water or a wide beach. You will never forget waking up in the morning and looking straight into the blue of the water, blending almost imperceptibly with the blue of the sky. But to be able to admire it, it's best not to waste time and continue your journey along the coast. From Ancona we go towards Pescara , another small but very atmospheric town. It is one of the most important economic, commercial and tourist centers on the Adriatic coast. Thanks to its diversified coastline, over 20 km long, it is also a popular resort, crowded with thousands of holidaymakers in the summer. In addition, each year in July, Pescara organizes the international jazz festival Jazz Pescara . The sounds of jazz resounded here for the first time in 1969, and the event was the first Italian summer festival dedicated to jazz music. Since then, it has been one of the most important jazz festivals in Europe.

Manufacturers are outdoing each other in developing new gadgets and creating more and more sophisticated devices for recording great image quality. Recently, another one has appeared - the Phantom DJI Quadcopter Aerial Rig , a multi-rotor vertical take-off multicopter designed for aerial filming. The integrated design allows you to easily mount a GoPro or other handy camera on it. It is a neat and agile gadget that will allow us to create a smooth recording enriched with shots of hard-to-reach places (e.g. roofs of high-rise buildings) and a bird's-eye view, which so far we could only admire in professionally filmed productions of large studios. Today we can create such recordings ourselves thanks to the Phantom multicopter.

After seeing the power of Niagara Falls with our own eyes, we can already head towards the last point of our trip around Canada, i.e. Toronto. According to the Cruise Canada regulations, we have to return the camper by noon so that it can be ready for the next customers. Fortunately, we have enough time to visit the city, or at least its greatest attractions. And take a leisurely ride along the shores of Lake Ontario . So we set off, passing once again beautiful St. Catharines and its huge rose garden. We also pass Hamilton, the capital of the Canadian steel industry. Despite the unattractive sounding announcement, there are many eye-catching sights here, including the monumental Scottish Rite Castle , rightly called the castle. Even more beautiful is the historic classicist manor Dundurn Castle , where tourists are shown by guides dressed in costumes from the second half of the 19th century. XIX century. After being bought by the city, the castle underwent a major renovation, which cost nearly $ 3 million. Another noteworthy place is the Royal Botanical Gardens , one of the main tourist attractions between Niagara and Toronto . The grounds of the garden belong to both Hamilton and neighboring Burlington. Unlike St. Catharines, Royal Botanical Gardens is famous not for roses, but for the world's largest collection of lilacs. In addition to the garden, Burlington also tempts with the promenade at Spencer Smith Park and the annual food festival - Canada's Largest Ribfest . During the event, which usually lasts four days, money is collected for charity.
