port stevens australia accommodation Story about a trip to Morocco, Marrakech. Do not go to Africa, people walk. Africa is terrible? Horrible and beautiful!






port stevens australia accommodation
Departure from Riga was on 11 November, days before the flight were considered, like a child approaching the New Year and Santa Claus with gifts. All the time studied sites and reviews of tourists with a description of Morocco. Read on ? www.turizm.ru ? forum with the theme of "Morocco worst holiday", was puzzled why I am flying there?? The nurse said that she was in India and ? ready for anything. And ready to do it? All Contacts ? and relatives twisted his temple with his finger and said, where you bear, two bright girls ? (it's about his sister, she was 26) to the Arabs, without a male companion, in the mud and misery! But we were firm! Fly! Frankly, I flew up with interesting photographs and new sensations, so wanted to see the real life of local people. What I saw in Turkey, Egypt and Tunisia was purely resort, licked and ostentatious. And just like that, savages, without a guide and translator, without a husband - it seemed to me a sort of test yourself, if you want. ? And here we sit in an airplane. Sitting 10-20-30-50 minutes ? . Some local aboriginal lost passport (somewhere after registration and before boarding the plane) and he is looking for him, and all meekly waiting. We started to rebel, to fly 2 hours 15 minutes, and we stand for an hour. Eventually, police came and evicted the man with his wife and child out of the plane. Very sorry for his wife and wee one, but they have taken, all for her husband, even if she did not lose your passport. ? Under the wing of the plane appeared scorched earth and the red city of Marrakech, is the translation of its name. ? Going down the ladder, from baldeem ? bright sun and warm wind. A migration card. Border Guard is trying to pronounce my last name and very surprised that such a ? dispels fear get in the medieval state with a time machine (remember, as in the famous film guide). We are in civilization! Oh, how deceptive first impression. ? We would like exotic "local paradise" and we booked a riad in the Medina. For information, find out the cost of transportation to the center by taxi, it is about 20 euros. ? We approach the taxi (a wretched, broken-down nag the early 80's with the local macho) and faced with the problem - they do not speak in English, but we no boom-boom in French! We obtain a printout of the booking and tychem finger pier, we are here. Macho went to consult with other taxi drivers. We sat down, went, Arabic music murmurs from the recorders. Profits go, madam! We look at the signboard of the building to which we were brought on a sheet from the Internet, do not find nothing in the title. In two voices talking ? , Take me to. He pokes his finger in the paper, and insists on his own, go! We are stubborn girl, sitting. The driver goes to the advertising of the building and call the specified phone. Very loud and aggressive (they are all there because they say it's OK) said in Arabic. Handed the phone to us. Man in English explains that in the armor of the address of the office all the riad Marrakech and took us to correct, and that he expects the two Russian lady, which the driver will deliver to him. Go instead. We passed under the arch of a huge wall, I understand that this is Medina. ? Mama Mia! Oh, God! Where are we now! From the windows of a taxi from all sides in our noses rushed disgusting smell the exhaust fumes and donkey urine in the face pierced exotic pictures - donkeys laden with unclear what, the women carrying on their heads that it is not clear; babies tied behind mamashek; old, sitting along the walls; beggars sleeping in the same walls. ? Ears like silence, as all this was accompanied by exotics such noise horns mopeds and scooters, that his hair stood on end! Frankly, it was the first shock. Well, I also wanted to present the Arab exoticism! That's with you, sir, receive, sign it! We landed, we parted with the first two hundred Moroccan ? Dhs. ? Nice man met us at the beginning of the street. Wow, you can take a deep breath, he dressed as a European, and speaks English! Hurray, therefore, we find a common language. ? Saeed, Managing Riad ? , ? showed us the green room, told her about the breakfast, answered a lot of our questions and ? retired. Located within the cozy Riyadh, with a beautiful patio, and became interested in dinner. Dinner can be on the spot. Price subject to 20 euros from the nose. In the menu of two dishes - Tajin and couscous, cooked by his wife Saida. ? We were not ready to accept local food and went to Medina, look for something European. That naive fool:) ? Card Said we did not provide, so we went to the Sun ? We move slowly, memorizing every sign and turn, the seller boiled snails, fruit merchant, a bunch of garbage, sleeping against the wall of the local homeless, etc. ? The heart of the city, the busiest place in Marrakesh, one of the most exciting areas of the Maghreb - the so-called area can be jam-el-Fna. ? Today, it is a strange place, with a spirit of medieval squares. Artists of all genres show their talent, and Tur?­s-loungers leave their blood capitalist dollars and euros. Here can be found fortune-tellers, soothsayers, risovalschits henna ? snake charmers, ? Sellers exotic potions, healers, local lunatics with bells, jars, old hats with fringed dazzle of bright colors, with bells, skins with water and brilliant ? cups on straps across his chest. ? All this is seasoned with the hot eyes and nose, crazy cocktail of smells ? exhaust gas mopeds, dust, embers, barbecues, boilers, grilled meat and fish, turmeric, mint and spices. ? That's how it smells Marrakech! To say that an area of many people - not to say anything! ? Frankly, we got scared and uncomfortable. The wisest decision in a given situation, rise to the terrace, "de Franse CAFE" - the oldest restaurant on the square, or on the roof of a diner "Vrasserie du Glacier", or "Arganal. ? . Cheers! Civilization! The challenge for the morning was clear - to board a bus and ride with the breeze. ? The day was intense. It's time to go back to our riad. The other route we do not know, so that ? forward, and with songs, jam-el-Fna, we are back! ? We quickly passed the area and took a picture of ethnic musicians, went into a cafe, ate cake and drank lassi avocado, tasty! According to the principle - right here, and here the left trying not to get lost in the crowd. Opanki, and there is no possibility to go forward. Cork, gentlemen, the human traffic jam. In one of the narrow passages of Medina faced two streams of people. Some went to the area, while others returned with her. Retreat was impossible. We clung to the Arab women with children. I did not know that stronger hold - a camera bag or bracelet on her arm. To tell the truth, to such close bodily contact with the local population, I was not ready at all! In the eyes of foreigners, I read quiet horror. Perhaps, in my eyes they read the horror in a quiet square. Local shouting and laughing. They were fun. Maybe it is they have such a massive public ? erotica. We were not amused. The first time in my life I realized what claustrophobia. My throat was a lump, could not breathe and the fear of suppressed ? any attempt to give the brain something intelligibly-saving. All this is compounded by moped, which is stuck in the crowd roared, puffed, stinking and shouting, wanting to escape to freedom. Moving forward millimeter by millimeter, the crowd dispersed. You can catch my breath. The rest of the way, we literally ran to the Riad. Said we were met by a smile and a question "Well, Jem el Fna?" The answer was short - shock! Once experienced in the crowd, demanding the body relax. Said brought us wine. F-oo-oo, you can breath. Perhaps, this episode was the most unpleasant in our journey to Marrakesh. ? Another feature of Morocco - a muezzin call to prayer. When you walk you the day of the noisy city, the appeal seems so quiet and distant. But when at 5 am, you wake prolonged howl ... ? sorry. ? Woke up early, affected the difference in time (with Moscow for 3 hours, with Riga 2 hours). The sun is beckoning. After breakfast in the cozy courtyard, Riad, went to the terrace for sunbathing. Said gave us sun-beds and brought mattresses. Oh, well, how! ? It would lay. But no, we are waiting Unidentified red and red city sightseeing bus. ? Romantigue. ? When you go out beyond the walls of Medina, ranked by UNESCO in 1985 to a World Heritage site, then you understand that Marrakech big and beautiful city. In its architecture mixed Arab and European motifs. Extended, wide avenues and green appeared before our eyes. ? Restaurants, shops, offices, theater, house congress, familiar names of European brands, all of this is in the red city. The difference seen in Medina and in the center of the modern Marrakech, is palpable as the day and night! We passed the largest hotels. First among them is ? La Mamounia - former home of the ruler Moulay al-Mamun, and now the most fashionable hotel of the city. ? All the rest, "super romantic" - a club-type remote hotels, golf clubs, construction sites, and camels. ? We concluded that the tour ? waste of time. Before Mazhorel garden and can be reached by taxi. ? We went from the beautiful building the railway station, ? found the bus station, bought tickets for the first flight to Essaouira. Tomorrow is waiting for us Atlantic Ocean and the city is difficult with the spoken name. ? Discover the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Morocco took place. In the evening we once again breathe the air crazy Jam al-Fny marched through the Medina, looked at the coal-black sky, drank Moroccan tea ? and said goodbye, feeling emotions - from fear of a cooling back to the indescribable delight. The combination of the 21 st century and a historical unreality. So perhaps you can in a few words to describe Marrakech. ? Let me quote the tourists visiting this city -- ? Marrakech exhausted you vyzhmet, dry and fade, but hate it you do not have time. One of the oldest and liveliest cities in the world to quickly fill your being re: slippers, Grandma and dzhelyabami, henna, and antimony, Islam and Bedouin tales. This ? most stable in the world chaos - Marrakech! ? Absolutely agree with him. ? P.S. And before the quarter leather craftsmen, we have not got. So, there is to aspire to, Fes worth a visit.

car rentals in europe Story about a trip to Egypt, Sharm El Sheikh. Jaz Belvedere 5 * - for those who have self-evaluation in the norm of all






car rentals in europe
Hotel. ? Stayed at the hotel ". ? . ? Rest: 21 December 2008-28 December 2008 Good day to all Read hotel reviews Jaz Belvedere. It took me a few months to maximize an objective description of his Stay here. So, rest with her husband in late December last year and fell in the period between the Catholic Christmas and New Year. ONCE I want to draw attention to the fact that people with high self-esteem to go to this hotel is not recommended, extremely PRIORITIZATION Italian tourists over all else. If you have a self-evaluation in the norm of all, you are not peculiar to nationalism and want to become better acquainted with the Italian and Egyptian culture, as well as loyal to the traditions and customs of other people, you can read more. ? 1. NUMBER and settlement. ? We settled into the housing 13 (1317) on the first floor. Room with a veranda and overlooking the inner courtyard. Indeed, beyond the walls of the hotel from the shells 11, 13, 15 ... is building, but the noise from it almost as much from sitting down and taking off of aircraft (the airport in 10 minutes, that the notoriety of Egyptian roads and drivers rather weighty plus). Do not just forget that the Egyptian tourism industry is just beginning to gain momentum, and it is quite natural that the infrastructure is constantly updated with new buildings. Therefore, in order to avoid some negative points, ask at the reception ($ 20 does not prevent) room overlooking inside. With regard to the rooms overlooking the sea ( ? ). A similar type of accommodation is better to order when purchasing vouchers and trace to this category has been specified in your voucher / contract. Otherwise, there is no likelihood that you will get exactly a room overlooking the sea. By the way I must say that during my vacation suites overlooking the sea there were virtually no inhabited ((((. I do not recommend just taking the shell close to the terrace and pool - the noise of most of the day: animation, akvaerobika, children, flashing the Italians . ... So for those who want to silence anyone, children must sleep in the afternoon - pick up the remote shell overlooking the courtyard. The hotel area is not large - go to the restaurant for a long time do not have to. ? Now about the situation room: Family room with queen size bed and 2 sofas, 2 armchairs and curtains, which provide the darkness at any moment - a great number! Are cleaned daily, towels changed daily (leave a few pounds cleaner and you will be pleasantly surprised swans from towels). Hot water - also had no problems. ? Minibar. You can of course abandon the minibar at the reception, but not the fact that it will clear. We, he was full up to the exit, but for our water and cognac room enough, when leaving the problems with the shortage was not. ? Use a safe deposit box and keep it all valuables. ? TV - only 1 Russian channel, so take the mini DVD or a laptop with me, please be the same disks with Russian music (mp3 format and CD). ? There is air conditioning - works to heat and cold. ? 2.TERRITORIYA. ? Well appointed, green, covered with flowers and tropical plants. Very nice and neatly. All day workers bustle and swarm in the flower beds and palm trees. Territory is not large, walk along the perimeter of the hotel takes about 15 minutes. Insects and other animals - not observed. ? 3. INFRASTRUCTURE. ? The hotel consists of main building, which is home reception, lobby bar, disco, 2 restaurants, terrace. In the basement of the body - 2 saunas (Turkish and Finnish) and a Jacuzzi, massage. Saunas are heated to a temperature that foreigners are not dead))). Feel free to increase the temperature of the sauna on the remote control, wait 20 minutes and go! Sauna is open from 9.00-20.00 daily. Further there are 3 swimming pools: 2 for adults (one heated) and 1 child (heated), the perimeter is a cozy 2-storey building in the eastern style, some have attics. Beach umbrella and 2 sun loungers each umbrella and beach bar. (open from morning till 17.00), pool bar from 10 to 19.00, a lobby with dinner until midnight, the restaurant - 4 times a day: breakfast from 7.00-10.00, lunch 12.30-15.30, dinner 19.00-22.30. The restaurant operates the dress code ? For residential buildings of 20, 23,25 (it's the opposite side of the beach) are an amphitheater, ? cent and a shooting gallery (onion). ? 4. Food and drink. ? There you will have a restaurant on the 1 st floor (entrance from above the pool). It is better to come to the beginning of the interim. And do not be lazy to open the lid and watch the content. Food, in truth, was not bad: a lot of vegetables, fruits, meat, sweet. Egyptians do not know how to cook beef - so do not spoil your teeth and strain at a chicken and vegetables. Attended the same Italian cuisine in the form of spaghetti and pasta - also very tasty. About the national food I can not say anything - did not eat. It was just ice cream and sweets for all tastes: from the creamy desserts to bake. Fruit too much - so that will not die of starvation: you do not have arrived here, I swear))). At the 2 floor - a seafood restaurant. Here I agree with the others, leave your opinion - no restaurant. So do not waste your time and do not go there even for free. ? Bars on the beach and the pool will offer you a local beverages and snacks. As drinking. Free range is made up: beer, pink wine, red wine, white wine, whiskey, vodka and soft drinks such yuppi and cola. For the money - the whole range of duty free. Remember - everything in bulk - it's free, everything in cans - for money. ? A few words about ?…?°?»?????????? drink. ? In the beer does not understand - why I can not say anything. ? Wine - the whole line - weak flower. The very amateur, but the taste is nothing special. Red recalls port, pink - sweet and white - sour. ? Whiskey. The range presented in red and black version. Of the two should try black. The taste of both of them - giving oils .. ? Vodka. With taste and smell, even in the cold. Just mix with their yuppi. ? Yuppi: Hibiscus tea, pineapple, orange. ? Just a Cola, Fanta, Sprite, Mirinda .. ? So, if you gourmets - take it with you all that you want to drink. ? Now about the drinking water. It is in the restaurant, and in the number of its need to buy or take with you / and nothing else to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth. Over a bottle of mineral water b / d capacity of 1.5 liters with you will take from 3 to 5 dollars. At week 2 persons we had the 3 bottles. ? Not recommended as well to make food from the restaurant - there is not accepted. You can take a couple of apples or oranges .. No shame - do not pull the sausage and meat with them. Again, I want to point out that hunger, you will not die, and in the intervals between meals in the restaurant - you will prepare an aperitif at the pool bar. ? Lobby bar. Opens at noon and runs until midnight. Nice atmosphere, cozy couches, the smell of coffee ... nice and quiet. It just poured the entire range of alcoholic and soft drinks, brewed coffee, you can smoke. ? Disco. Opens at midnight. All alcoholic beverages paid, contemporary music, dance floor a little. Basically lit animators (they also paid for it). ? 5. Good for a laugh in the hotel. ? First, be prepared to ensure that all the animation in the Italian language, as 80% of holidaymakers - it is the Italians, and judging by the reviews later, vacationers, Russian animation there has not appeared. The team consists of a dozen people and 1 songster. Songster, he's sound engineer, he is a DJ, sings in English and Italian. Voice good songs - the popular hits of 70-90 years. Every night he sings in the lobby, he has a guitar - expensive - in the hands of anyone does (fear), but he played and the machine shop. All submissions in the amphitheater is also in Italian. Animators day darting between the tourists and bored with your questions and suggestions. On the one hand, it was a pity that so openly ignore the Russian and the other - I would probably psihanula only from the fact that to me for 1 hour came just 10 or something there suggested. A day at the pool competitions, performances, aerobics, etc. You can play volleyball and soccer on the beach. So you have a choice of two: either to amuse himself by, or armed with a dictionary to take up the Italian culture. ? We walked along the shore in both directions, photographed wild beach, other hotels, went into the city (taxis are not more than 10-12 dollars each way - so that bidding!). ? 6. MONEY. ? Vezite dollars and change at the local pound rate of 1 to 5.2 in the hotel baron - a close (5-7 min walk) ? 7. RELATIONSHIP. ? Local mobile recharge card - 20 bucks. You can use roaming services. They often do not have internet and phone because of the underwater cable. ? 8. Beach. ? Sandy, with a pontoon meters 70. No coral, but a great entrance to the sea for children. Fish eat. They can lure sitting on the pontoon. But that protection is not seen))). This hotel is not suitable for those who want to look at the corals, and who simply want to swim and dive at the beach - a perfect place. Take a mask and flippers and wet suit with him. Here all this rent from $ 10 per half day. Mask + fins (plastic) in the store - $ 30. Can go out and dive on the nearby beach (Baron). ? Towels are issued by the pool every day in exchange for the card, which you must give to the reception. One for every resident in the room. Keep up with towels and cards - do not lose them. For this you pay a fine of $ 50. ? 9. EKSKURSIONKA. ? For those who are afraid to pull off far (Cairo, Mount Moses, Luxor, ? etc.) can arrange tours of the place. These are: a trip to Ras Mohammed to diving on a yacht with a glass bottom (not recommended during a storm and those who are heavily swayed), on a trip to. Tyrant - also scuba diving, a trip to the desert on quads and dinner with the Bedouins (gently dust is not recommended for people with colds and asthma), the old town (the market souvenirs). All excursions from $ 40 and above per person. ? Advice and recommendations. ? Before his trip to Egypt would not be lazy and reviewed the literature related to the customs and mores of this country. You may also want to say that you're eating in a Muslim country, so respect the religious feelings of people and do not wear revealing clothes in the hotel (all male employees) and outside it. This applies to women. Revealing clothes is permitted only on the beach. More about fish, corals and drugs - the internet has a lot of information about it. Remember that the removal of corals (even gifts), exotic fish and drugs from the country - you face a prison sentence. ? Rate your health and bring all the necessary medicine: poisoning, from allergies to sunburn, burns from the coral, antipyretic, spasmodicals from stomach disorders and to digest food, with acute gastritis and pancreatitis, activated carbon, manganese, antiseptics, bandages, plasters, cotton wool, specialized medicine, if they want. Get ready for the fact that when a medical case, you'll probably have to act independently. link stry1 link story 6 of traavl link story5 linu story2 link storg4 ljnk story3 link sotry5 link syory3 link stor link syory1 oink story5 story of to urim link ztory5 link story showing the rivers in triniidd link stor1 the link story4 ilnk story2 story of troicl link story 2 kink story1 linkstory3 link stoty1 syory of caymn /ink story3 lonk story2 link story 6 of nclusie link ctory1 link stody2 link wtory3 link stoey4 lonk story5 story of travel link story 6 of oryl lin. story4 link atory3 story f royl link story 6 of tr inidd story if del lin story5 stkry of royl link sto ry4

southwest airlines tickets ding Story about a trip to Egypt, Hurghada. Desert Rose 5 * or an unplanned trip to Egypt.






southwest airlines tickets ding
Hotel. ? Stayed at the hotel ". ? . Rating: 7.9 ? Much to write about hotel will not, do not like to write essays ... childhood. I can only say that otelchik on a firm, 4 to 5 did not hold out. Partly affected service, but here is the human factor plays a role. Basically persoonal friendly, if with them in an amicable and that they meet the same. Personally, I rudeness, ignore and misunderstanding, glory to God, not stalknulas. Almost all speak in Russian. Generally the hotel a lot of our (Russian, Ukrainian, Belarus). To be precise, I do for the entire vacation at the hotel did not meet either the Germans or the Italians or the Poles, the Czechs ... Only 23 December, the last day of our stay, began race tourists from different countries, ranging from the Germans and ending with the Chinese. ? Feeding - like good but somehow lacking in abundance, given that otelchik 5 *. I'm eating enough. Given that I'm not at home preparing dinner of 10 dishes. Seafood (crabs, shrimp, squid), it was every day, fruit, melon, guava, tangerines, oranges, bananas, apples, pomegranates .. Meat, fish, chicken, various vegetables, a lot of muffins and tortikov. ? Fried potatoes were not even for money. Generally winter there so good with snacking between meals. Open the main restaurant (breakfast-lunch-dinner), snack bars on the pastries. And one day a pizza bar, you can take, for the money. Little strained at lunch trudge from the beach to a restaurant because the land at a large hotel, walk 500 meters at least probably, but no cafe on the beach was not. But for the season (March-April) promised to organize a cafe on the beach. ? The restaurant satisfied fish party 3 times a week (sr5da, Friday, Sunday). For $ 20 per person - 4 course (salad, soup, main course and dessert) + show program (a cobra show, fakir show, belly dancing). ? Animation is very weak. It is in general that is, but it sort of not. Standard - AQUAROBIC, Latin, dance lessons and sromnaya evening program, after the disco. Animators for the whole hotel is a great man 5 (there are Russian girls). ? Problems with the resettlement we did not have. I clearly said that I want (building, floor, view from the window), it immediately gave me. Once I saw that they gave me exactly what I requested, resepsheonist got his deserved 10 ue. It is possible that the settlement was without problems because of the very small count of tourists in the hotel at this time. I thought at first that the hotel rests just 100 people. For such a huge hotel is a drop, people in general would not find. But closer to Christmas has begun check for your arrival. bars even begun to form queues of 2-3 persons. ? Housekeeping rooms are also fine. And swans twisted, shirts and flowers laid. Gratuity not vymagali. The contrary sometimes refused. By the end of vacation, I asked the janitor to open my room, where nobody lives that would make the photo. She offered him a dollar for it. So he opened the room, gave me all the photograph, and the dollar declined .=))) ? Beach outside the hotel just super, great. There is a lagoon and the open sea. At any time there are free sunbeds and the sea, and the pool. About the underwater world can not say anything because she swim a little better ax )))), but holidaymakers said they had seen near the hotel fish and coral reef. ? The hotel has a kids club and a good playground. Some children's pool is even smaller (especially for children), sun loungers. I have these tiny sun loungers the first time I ever saw)))) ? What was surprising to me is the fact that the hotel with such a huge beautiful landscaped area, lots of bars, 3 swimming pools (1 heated, 1 Olympic), other than a great beach and tons of e could easily qualify for the five tvetduyu for this all there is. But management can not bring them to mind. Oh ... This hotel would be so strong management. ? My assessment of the firm 4. Well, or in the words of one camper - five economy class. In any case, better than the full range of T5. ? I would advise this hotel for a quiet holiday, for rest with children and for those for whom .... and without any claims. links tory4 link story 6 of toourim link stoty2 likn story5 lin, story1 link stoty4 link story 6 of in clusie link stiry3 link story5 lijk story2 linkk story5 link stoy1 link stoty4 link story1 lnk story4 link story 66 of carnivl link tory 6 of vacatin link stor4 link stoey5 pink story1 linkstory 6 of inclusie lin story3 link stoory2 link story of grandcayman islanq linj story4 link stor y1 story of ca ribben li nk story1 link sstory2 link stor2 link ctory1 link stry1 link story5 lijk story4 syory of tropicl oink story1 link storj1 link story 6 of island maps of triinidad tobao link stody4 link stor

port stevens australia accommodation Story about a trip to Morocco, Marrakech. Do not go to Africa, people walk. Africa is terrible? Horrible and beautiful!






port stevens australia accommodation
Departure from Riga was on 11 November, days before the flight were considered, like a child approaching the New Year and Santa Claus with gifts. All the time studied sites and reviews of tourists with a description of Morocco. Read on ? www.turizm.ru ? forum with the theme of "Morocco worst holiday", was puzzled why I am flying there?? The nurse said that she was in India and ? ready for anything. And ready to do it? All Contacts ? and relatives twisted his temple with his finger and said, where you bear, two bright girls ? (it's about his sister, she was 26) to the Arabs, without a male companion, in the mud and misery! But we were firm! Fly! Frankly, I flew up with interesting photographs and new sensations, so wanted to see the real life of local people. What I saw in Turkey, Egypt and Tunisia was purely resort, licked and ostentatious. And just like that, savages, without a guide and translator, without a husband - it seemed to me a sort of test yourself, if you want. ? And here we sit in an airplane. Sitting 10-20-30-50 minutes ? . Some local aboriginal lost passport (somewhere after registration and before boarding the plane) and he is looking for him, and all meekly waiting. We started to rebel, to fly 2 hours 15 minutes, and we stand for an hour. Eventually, police came and evicted the man with his wife and child out of the plane. Very sorry for his wife and wee one, but they have taken, all for her husband, even if she did not lose your passport. ? Under the wing of the plane appeared scorched earth and the red city of Marrakech, is the translation of its name. ? Going down the ladder, from baldeem ? bright sun and warm wind. A migration card. Border Guard is trying to pronounce my last name and very surprised that such a ? dispels fear get in the medieval state with a time machine (remember, as in the famous film guide). We are in civilization! Oh, how deceptive first impression. ? We would like exotic "local paradise" and we booked a riad in the Medina. For information, find out the cost of transportation to the center by taxi, it is about 20 euros. ? We approach the taxi (a wretched, broken-down nag the early 80's with the local macho) and faced with the problem - they do not speak in English, but we no boom-boom in French! We obtain a printout of the booking and tychem finger pier, we are here. Macho went to consult with other taxi drivers. We sat down, went, Arabic music murmurs from the recorders. Profits go, madam! We look at the signboard of the building to which we were brought on a sheet from the Internet, do not find nothing in the title. In two voices talking ? , Take me to. He pokes his finger in the paper, and insists on his own, go! We are stubborn girl, sitting. The driver goes to the advertising of the building and call the specified phone. Very loud and aggressive (they are all there because they say it's OK) said in Arabic. Handed the phone to us. Man in English explains that in the armor of the address of the office all the riad Marrakech and took us to correct, and that he expects the two Russian lady, which the driver will deliver to him. Go instead. We passed under the arch of a huge wall, I understand that this is Medina. ? Mama Mia! Oh, God! Where are we now! From the windows of a taxi from all sides in our noses rushed disgusting smell the exhaust fumes and donkey urine in the face pierced exotic pictures - donkeys laden with unclear what, the women carrying on their heads that it is not clear; babies tied behind mamashek; old, sitting along the walls; beggars sleeping in the same walls. ? Ears like silence, as all this was accompanied by exotics such noise horns mopeds and scooters, that his hair stood on end! Frankly, it was the first shock. Well, I also wanted to present the Arab exoticism! That's with you, sir, receive, sign it! We landed, we parted with the first two hundred Moroccan ? Dhs. ? Nice man met us at the beginning of the street. Wow, you can take a deep breath, he dressed as a European, and speaks English! Hurray, therefore, we find a common language. ? Saeed, Managing Riad ? , ? showed us the green room, told her about the breakfast, answered a lot of our questions and ? retired. Located within the cozy Riyadh, with a beautiful patio, and became interested in dinner. Dinner can be on the spot. Price subject to 20 euros from the nose. In the menu of two dishes - Tajin and couscous, cooked by his wife Saida. ? We were not ready to accept local food and went to Medina, look for something European. That naive fool:) ? Card Said we did not provide, so we went to the Sun ? We move slowly, memorizing every sign and turn, the seller boiled snails, fruit merchant, a bunch of garbage, sleeping against the wall of the local homeless, etc. ? The heart of the city, the busiest place in Marrakesh, one of the most exciting areas of the Maghreb - the so-called area can be jam-el-Fna. ? Today, it is a strange place, with a spirit of medieval squares. Artists of all genres show their talent, and Tur?­s-loungers leave their blood capitalist dollars and euros. Here can be found fortune-tellers, soothsayers, risovalschits henna ? snake charmers, ? Sellers exotic potions, healers, local lunatics with bells, jars, old hats with fringed dazzle of bright colors, with bells, skins with water and brilliant ? cups on straps across his chest. ? All this is seasoned with the hot eyes and nose, crazy cocktail of smells ? exhaust gas mopeds, dust, embers, barbecues, boilers, grilled meat and fish, turmeric, mint and spices. ? That's how it smells Marrakech! To say that an area of many people - not to say anything! ? Frankly, we got scared and uncomfortable. The wisest decision in a given situation, rise to the terrace, "de Franse CAFE" - the oldest restaurant on the square, or on the roof of a diner "Vrasserie du Glacier", or "Arganal. ? . Cheers! Civilization! The challenge for the morning was clear - to board a bus and ride with the breeze. ? The day was intense. It's time to go back to our riad. The other route we do not know, so that ? forward, and with songs, jam-el-Fna, we are back! ? We quickly passed the area and took a picture of ethnic musicians, went into a cafe, ate cake and drank lassi avocado, tasty! According to the principle - right here, and here the left trying not to get lost in the crowd. Opanki, and there is no possibility to go forward. Cork, gentlemen, the human traffic jam. In one of the narrow passages of Medina faced two streams of people. Some went to the area, while others returned with her. Retreat was impossible. We clung to the Arab women with children. I did not know that stronger hold - a camera bag or bracelet on her arm. To tell the truth, to such close bodily contact with the local population, I was not ready at all! In the eyes of foreigners, I read quiet horror. Perhaps, in my eyes they read the horror in a quiet square. Local shouting and laughing. They were fun. Maybe it is they have such a massive public ? erotica. We were not amused. The first time in my life I realized what claustrophobia. My throat was a lump, could not breathe and the fear of suppressed ? any attempt to give the brain something intelligibly-saving. All this is compounded by moped, which is stuck in the crowd roared, puffed, stinking and shouting, wanting to escape to freedom. Moving forward millimeter by millimeter, the crowd dispersed. You can catch my breath. The rest of the way, we literally ran to the Riad. Said we were met by a smile and a question "Well, Jem el Fna?" The answer was short - shock! Once experienced in the crowd, demanding the body relax. Said brought us wine. F-oo-oo, you can breath. Perhaps, this episode was the most unpleasant in our journey to Marrakesh. ? Another feature of Morocco - a muezzin call to prayer. When you walk you the day of the noisy city, the appeal seems so quiet and distant. But when at 5 am, you wake prolonged howl ... ? sorry. ? Woke up early, affected the difference in time (with Moscow for 3 hours, with Riga 2 hours). The sun is beckoning. After breakfast in the cozy courtyard, Riad, went to the terrace for sunbathing. Said gave us sun-beds and brought mattresses. Oh, well, how! ? It would lay. But no, we are waiting Unidentified red and red city sightseeing bus. ? Romantigue. ? When you go out beyond the walls of Medina, ranked by UNESCO in 1985 to a World Heritage site, then you understand that Marrakech big and beautiful city. In its architecture mixed Arab and European motifs. Extended, wide avenues and green appeared before our eyes. ? Restaurants, shops, offices, theater, house congress, familiar names of European brands, all of this is in the red city. The difference seen in Medina and in the center of the modern Marrakech, is palpable as the day and night! We passed the largest hotels. First among them is ? La Mamounia - former home of the ruler Moulay al-Mamun, and now the most fashionable hotel of the city. ? All the rest, "super romantic" - a club-type remote hotels, golf clubs, construction sites, and camels. ? We concluded that the tour ? waste of time. Before Mazhorel garden and can be reached by taxi. ? We went from the beautiful building the railway station, ? found the bus station, bought tickets for the first flight to Essaouira. Tomorrow is waiting for us Atlantic Ocean and the city is difficult with the spoken name. ? Discover the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Morocco took place. In the evening we once again breathe the air crazy Jam al-Fny marched through the Medina, looked at the coal-black sky, drank Moroccan tea ? and said goodbye, feeling emotions - from fear of a cooling back to the indescribable delight. The combination of the 21 st century and a historical unreality. So perhaps you can in a few words to describe Marrakech. ? Let me quote the tourists visiting this city -- ? Marrakech exhausted you vyzhmet, dry and fade, but hate it you do not have time. One of the oldest and liveliest cities in the world to quickly fill your being re: slippers, Grandma and dzhelyabami, henna, and antimony, Islam and Bedouin tales. This ? most stable in the world chaos - Marrakech! ? Absolutely agree with him. ? P.S. And before the quarter leather craftsmen, we have not got. So, there is to aspire to, Fes worth a visit.

car rentals in europe Story about a trip to Egypt, Sharm El Sheikh. Jaz Belvedere 5 * - for those who have self-evaluation in the norm of all






car rentals in europe
Hotel. ? Stayed at the hotel ". ? . ? Rest: 21 December 2008-28 December 2008 Good day to all Read hotel reviews Jaz Belvedere. It took me a few months to maximize an objective description of his Stay here. So, rest with her husband in late December last year and fell in the period between the Catholic Christmas and New Year. ONCE I want to draw attention to the fact that people with high self-esteem to go to this hotel is not recommended, extremely PRIORITIZATION Italian tourists over all else. If you have a self-evaluation in the norm of all, you are not peculiar to nationalism and want to become better acquainted with the Italian and Egyptian culture, as well as loyal to the traditions and customs of other people, you can read more. ? 1. NUMBER and settlement. ? We settled into the housing 13 (1317) on the first floor. Room with a veranda and overlooking the inner courtyard. Indeed, beyond the walls of the hotel from the shells 11, 13, 15 ... is building, but the noise from it almost as much from sitting down and taking off of aircraft (the airport in 10 minutes, that the notoriety of Egyptian roads and drivers rather weighty plus). Do not just forget that the Egyptian tourism industry is just beginning to gain momentum, and it is quite natural that the infrastructure is constantly updated with new buildings. Therefore, in order to avoid some negative points, ask at the reception ($ 20 does not prevent) room overlooking inside. With regard to the rooms overlooking the sea ( ? ). A similar type of accommodation is better to order when purchasing vouchers and trace to this category has been specified in your voucher / contract. Otherwise, there is no likelihood that you will get exactly a room overlooking the sea. By the way I must say that during my vacation suites overlooking the sea there were virtually no inhabited ((((. I do not recommend just taking the shell close to the terrace and pool - the noise of most of the day: animation, akvaerobika, children, flashing the Italians . ... So for those who want to silence anyone, children must sleep in the afternoon - pick up the remote shell overlooking the courtyard. The hotel area is not large - go to the restaurant for a long time do not have to. ? Now about the situation room: Family room with queen size bed and 2 sofas, 2 armchairs and curtains, which provide the darkness at any moment - a great number! Are cleaned daily, towels changed daily (leave a few pounds cleaner and you will be pleasantly surprised swans from towels). Hot water - also had no problems. ? Minibar. You can of course abandon the minibar at the reception, but not the fact that it will clear. We, he was full up to the exit, but for our water and cognac room enough, when leaving the problems with the shortage was not. ? Use a safe deposit box and keep it all valuables. ? TV - only 1 Russian channel, so take the mini DVD or a laptop with me, please be the same disks with Russian music (mp3 format and CD). ? There is air conditioning - works to heat and cold. ? 2.TERRITORIYA. ? Well appointed, green, covered with flowers and tropical plants. Very nice and neatly. All day workers bustle and swarm in the flower beds and palm trees. Territory is not large, walk along the perimeter of the hotel takes about 15 minutes. Insects and other animals - not observed. ? 3. INFRASTRUCTURE. ? The hotel consists of main building, which is home reception, lobby bar, disco, 2 restaurants, terrace. In the basement of the body - 2 saunas (Turkish and Finnish) and a Jacuzzi, massage. Saunas are heated to a temperature that foreigners are not dead))). Feel free to increase the temperature of the sauna on the remote control, wait 20 minutes and go! Sauna is open from 9.00-20.00 daily. Further there are 3 swimming pools: 2 for adults (one heated) and 1 child (heated), the perimeter is a cozy 2-storey building in the eastern style, some have attics. Beach umbrella and 2 sun loungers each umbrella and beach bar. (open from morning till 17.00), pool bar from 10 to 19.00, a lobby with dinner until midnight, the restaurant - 4 times a day: breakfast from 7.00-10.00, lunch 12.30-15.30, dinner 19.00-22.30. The restaurant operates the dress code ? For residential buildings of 20, 23,25 (it's the opposite side of the beach) are an amphitheater, ? cent and a shooting gallery (onion). ? 4. Food and drink. ? There you will have a restaurant on the 1 st floor (entrance from above the pool). It is better to come to the beginning of the interim. And do not be lazy to open the lid and watch the content. Food, in truth, was not bad: a lot of vegetables, fruits, meat, sweet. Egyptians do not know how to cook beef - so do not spoil your teeth and strain at a chicken and vegetables. Attended the same Italian cuisine in the form of spaghetti and pasta - also very tasty. About the national food I can not say anything - did not eat. It was just ice cream and sweets for all tastes: from the creamy desserts to bake. Fruit too much - so that will not die of starvation: you do not have arrived here, I swear))). At the 2 floor - a seafood restaurant. Here I agree with the others, leave your opinion - no restaurant. So do not waste your time and do not go there even for free. ? Bars on the beach and the pool will offer you a local beverages and snacks. As drinking. Free range is made up: beer, pink wine, red wine, white wine, whiskey, vodka and soft drinks such yuppi and cola. For the money - the whole range of duty free. Remember - everything in bulk - it's free, everything in cans - for money. ? A few words about ?…?°?»?????????? drink. ? In the beer does not understand - why I can not say anything. ? Wine - the whole line - weak flower. The very amateur, but the taste is nothing special. Red recalls port, pink - sweet and white - sour. ? Whiskey. The range presented in red and black version. Of the two should try black. The taste of both of them - giving oils .. ? Vodka. With taste and smell, even in the cold. Just mix with their yuppi. ? Yuppi: Hibiscus tea, pineapple, orange. ? Just a Cola, Fanta, Sprite, Mirinda .. ? So, if you gourmets - take it with you all that you want to drink. ? Now about the drinking water. It is in the restaurant, and in the number of its need to buy or take with you / and nothing else to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth. Over a bottle of mineral water b / d capacity of 1.5 liters with you will take from 3 to 5 dollars. At week 2 persons we had the 3 bottles. ? Not recommended as well to make food from the restaurant - there is not accepted. You can take a couple of apples or oranges .. No shame - do not pull the sausage and meat with them. Again, I want to point out that hunger, you will not die, and in the intervals between meals in the restaurant - you will prepare an aperitif at the pool bar. ? Lobby bar. Opens at noon and runs until midnight. Nice atmosphere, cozy couches, the smell of coffee ... nice and quiet. It just poured the entire range of alcoholic and soft drinks, brewed coffee, you can smoke. ? Disco. Opens at midnight. All alcoholic beverages paid, contemporary music, dance floor a little. Basically lit animators (they also paid for it). ? 5. Good for a laugh in the hotel. ? First, be prepared to ensure that all the animation in the Italian language, as 80% of holidaymakers - it is the Italians, and judging by the reviews later, vacationers, Russian animation there has not appeared. The team consists of a dozen people and 1 songster. Songster, he's sound engineer, he is a DJ, sings in English and Italian. Voice good songs - the popular hits of 70-90 years. Every night he sings in the lobby, he has a guitar - expensive - in the hands of anyone does (fear), but he played and the machine shop. All submissions in the amphitheater is also in Italian. Animators day darting between the tourists and bored with your questions and suggestions. On the one hand, it was a pity that so openly ignore the Russian and the other - I would probably psihanula only from the fact that to me for 1 hour came just 10 or something there suggested. A day at the pool competitions, performances, aerobics, etc. You can play volleyball and soccer on the beach. So you have a choice of two: either to amuse himself by, or armed with a dictionary to take up the Italian culture. ? We walked along the shore in both directions, photographed wild beach, other hotels, went into the city (taxis are not more than 10-12 dollars each way - so that bidding!). ? 6. MONEY. ? Vezite dollars and change at the local pound rate of 1 to 5.2 in the hotel baron - a close (5-7 min walk) ? 7. RELATIONSHIP. ? Local mobile recharge card - 20 bucks. You can use roaming services. They often do not have internet and phone because of the underwater cable. ? 8. Beach. ? Sandy, with a pontoon meters 70. No coral, but a great entrance to the sea for children. Fish eat. They can lure sitting on the pontoon. But that protection is not seen))). This hotel is not suitable for those who want to look at the corals, and who simply want to swim and dive at the beach - a perfect place. Take a mask and flippers and wet suit with him. Here all this rent from $ 10 per half day. Mask + fins (plastic) in the store - $ 30. Can go out and dive on the nearby beach (Baron). ? Towels are issued by the pool every day in exchange for the card, which you must give to the reception. One for every resident in the room. Keep up with towels and cards - do not lose them. For this you pay a fine of $ 50. ? 9. EKSKURSIONKA. ? For those who are afraid to pull off far (Cairo, Mount Moses, Luxor, ? etc.) can arrange tours of the place. These are: a trip to Ras Mohammed to diving on a yacht with a glass bottom (not recommended during a storm and those who are heavily swayed), on a trip to. Tyrant - also scuba diving, a trip to the desert on quads and dinner with the Bedouins (gently dust is not recommended for people with colds and asthma), the old town (the market souvenirs). All excursions from $ 40 and above per person. ? Advice and recommendations. ? Before his trip to Egypt would not be lazy and reviewed the literature related to the customs and mores of this country. You may also want to say that you're eating in a Muslim country, so respect the religious feelings of people and do not wear revealing clothes in the hotel (all male employees) and outside it. This applies to women. Revealing clothes is permitted only on the beach. More about fish, corals and drugs - the internet has a lot of information about it. Remember that the removal of corals (even gifts), exotic fish and drugs from the country - you face a prison sentence. ? Rate your health and bring all the necessary medicine: poisoning, from allergies to sunburn, burns from the coral, antipyretic, spasmodicals from stomach disorders and to digest food, with acute gastritis and pancreatitis, activated carbon, manganese, antiseptics, bandages, plasters, cotton wool, specialized medicine, if they want. Get ready for the fact that when a medical case, you'll probably have to act independently. link stry1 link story 6 of traavl link story5 linu story2 link storg4 ljnk story3 link sotry5 link syory3 link stor link syory1 oink story5 story of to urim link ztory5 link story showing the rivers in triniidd link stor1 the link story4 ilnk story2 story of troicl link story 2 kink story1 linkstory3 link stoty1 syory of caymn /ink story3 lonk story2 link story 6 of nclusie link ctory1 link stody2 link wtory3 link stoey4 lonk story5 story of travel link story 6 of oryl lin. story4 link atory3 story f royl link story 6 of tr inidd story if del lin story5 stkry of royl link sto ry4

southwest airlines tickets ding Story about a trip to Egypt, Hurghada. Desert Rose 5 * or an unplanned trip to Egypt.






southwest airlines tickets ding
Hotel. ? Stayed at the hotel ". ? . Rating: 7.9 ? Much to write about hotel will not, do not like to write essays ... childhood. I can only say that otelchik on a firm, 4 to 5 did not hold out. Partly affected service, but here is the human factor plays a role. Basically persoonal friendly, if with them in an amicable and that they meet the same. Personally, I rudeness, ignore and misunderstanding, glory to God, not stalknulas. Almost all speak in Russian. Generally the hotel a lot of our (Russian, Ukrainian, Belarus). To be precise, I do for the entire vacation at the hotel did not meet either the Germans or the Italians or the Poles, the Czechs ... Only 23 December, the last day of our stay, began race tourists from different countries, ranging from the Germans and ending with the Chinese. ? Feeding - like good but somehow lacking in abundance, given that otelchik 5 *. I'm eating enough. Given that I'm not at home preparing dinner of 10 dishes. Seafood (crabs, shrimp, squid), it was every day, fruit, melon, guava, tangerines, oranges, bananas, apples, pomegranates .. Meat, fish, chicken, various vegetables, a lot of muffins and tortikov. ? Fried potatoes were not even for money. Generally winter there so good with snacking between meals. Open the main restaurant (breakfast-lunch-dinner), snack bars on the pastries. And one day a pizza bar, you can take, for the money. Little strained at lunch trudge from the beach to a restaurant because the land at a large hotel, walk 500 meters at least probably, but no cafe on the beach was not. But for the season (March-April) promised to organize a cafe on the beach. ? The restaurant satisfied fish party 3 times a week (sr5da, Friday, Sunday). For $ 20 per person - 4 course (salad, soup, main course and dessert) + show program (a cobra show, fakir show, belly dancing). ? Animation is very weak. It is in general that is, but it sort of not. Standard - AQUAROBIC, Latin, dance lessons and sromnaya evening program, after the disco. Animators for the whole hotel is a great man 5 (there are Russian girls). ? Problems with the resettlement we did not have. I clearly said that I want (building, floor, view from the window), it immediately gave me. Once I saw that they gave me exactly what I requested, resepsheonist got his deserved 10 ue. It is possible that the settlement was without problems because of the very small count of tourists in the hotel at this time. I thought at first that the hotel rests just 100 people. For such a huge hotel is a drop, people in general would not find. But closer to Christmas has begun check for your arrival. bars even begun to form queues of 2-3 persons. ? Housekeeping rooms are also fine. And swans twisted, shirts and flowers laid. Gratuity not vymagali. The contrary sometimes refused. By the end of vacation, I asked the janitor to open my room, where nobody lives that would make the photo. She offered him a dollar for it. So he opened the room, gave me all the photograph, and the dollar declined .=))) ? Beach outside the hotel just super, great. There is a lagoon and the open sea. At any time there are free sunbeds and the sea, and the pool. About the underwater world can not say anything because she swim a little better ax )))), but holidaymakers said they had seen near the hotel fish and coral reef. ? The hotel has a kids club and a good playground. Some children's pool is even smaller (especially for children), sun loungers. I have these tiny sun loungers the first time I ever saw)))) ? What was surprising to me is the fact that the hotel with such a huge beautiful landscaped area, lots of bars, 3 swimming pools (1 heated, 1 Olympic), other than a great beach and tons of e could easily qualify for the five tvetduyu for this all there is. But management can not bring them to mind. Oh ... This hotel would be so strong management. ? My assessment of the firm 4. Well, or in the words of one camper - five economy class. In any case, better than the full range of T5. ? I would advise this hotel for a quiet holiday, for rest with children and for those for whom .... and without any claims. links tory4 link story 6 of toourim link stoty2 likn story5 lin, story1 link stoty4 link story 6 of in clusie link stiry3 link story5 lijk story2 linkk story5 link stoy1 link stoty4 link story1 lnk story4 link story 66 of carnivl link tory 6 of vacatin link stor4 link stoey5 pink story1 linkstory 6 of inclusie lin story3 link stoory2 link story of grandcayman islanq linj story4 link stor y1 story of ca ribben li nk story1 link sstory2 link stor2 link ctory1 link stry1 link story5 lijk story4 syory of tropicl oink story1 link storj1 link story 6 of island maps of triinidad tobao link stody4 link stor

port stevens australia accommodation Story about a trip to Morocco, Marrakech. Do not go to Africa, people walk. Africa is terrible? Horrible and beautiful!






port stevens australia accommodation
Departure from Riga was on 11 November, days before the flight were considered, like a child approaching the New Year and Santa Claus with gifts. All the time studied sites and reviews of tourists with a description of Morocco. Read on ? www.turizm.ru ? forum with the theme of "Morocco worst holiday", was puzzled why I am flying there?? The nurse said that she was in India and ? ready for anything. And ready to do it? All Contacts ? and relatives twisted his temple with his finger and said, where you bear, two bright girls ? (it's about his sister, she was 26) to the Arabs, without a male companion, in the mud and misery! But we were firm! Fly! Frankly, I flew up with interesting photographs and new sensations, so wanted to see the real life of local people. What I saw in Turkey, Egypt and Tunisia was purely resort, licked and ostentatious. And just like that, savages, without a guide and translator, without a husband - it seemed to me a sort of test yourself, if you want. ? And here we sit in an airplane. Sitting 10-20-30-50 minutes ? . Some local aboriginal lost passport (somewhere after registration and before boarding the plane) and he is looking for him, and all meekly waiting. We started to rebel, to fly 2 hours 15 minutes, and we stand for an hour. Eventually, police came and evicted the man with his wife and child out of the plane. Very sorry for his wife and wee one, but they have taken, all for her husband, even if she did not lose your passport. ? Under the wing of the plane appeared scorched earth and the red city of Marrakech, is the translation of its name. ? Going down the ladder, from baldeem ? bright sun and warm wind. A migration card. Border Guard is trying to pronounce my last name and very surprised that such a ? dispels fear get in the medieval state with a time machine (remember, as in the famous film guide). We are in civilization! Oh, how deceptive first impression. ? We would like exotic "local paradise" and we booked a riad in the Medina. For information, find out the cost of transportation to the center by taxi, it is about 20 euros. ? We approach the taxi (a wretched, broken-down nag the early 80's with the local macho) and faced with the problem - they do not speak in English, but we no boom-boom in French! We obtain a printout of the booking and tychem finger pier, we are here. Macho went to consult with other taxi drivers. We sat down, went, Arabic music murmurs from the recorders. Profits go, madam! We look at the signboard of the building to which we were brought on a sheet from the Internet, do not find nothing in the title. In two voices talking ? , Take me to. He pokes his finger in the paper, and insists on his own, go! We are stubborn girl, sitting. The driver goes to the advertising of the building and call the specified phone. Very loud and aggressive (they are all there because they say it's OK) said in Arabic. Handed the phone to us. Man in English explains that in the armor of the address of the office all the riad Marrakech and took us to correct, and that he expects the two Russian lady, which the driver will deliver to him. Go instead. We passed under the arch of a huge wall, I understand that this is Medina. ? Mama Mia! Oh, God! Where are we now! From the windows of a taxi from all sides in our noses rushed disgusting smell the exhaust fumes and donkey urine in the face pierced exotic pictures - donkeys laden with unclear what, the women carrying on their heads that it is not clear; babies tied behind mamashek; old, sitting along the walls; beggars sleeping in the same walls. ? Ears like silence, as all this was accompanied by exotics such noise horns mopeds and scooters, that his hair stood on end! Frankly, it was the first shock. Well, I also wanted to present the Arab exoticism! That's with you, sir, receive, sign it! We landed, we parted with the first two hundred Moroccan ? Dhs. ? Nice man met us at the beginning of the street. Wow, you can take a deep breath, he dressed as a European, and speaks English! Hurray, therefore, we find a common language. ? Saeed, Managing Riad ? , ? showed us the green room, told her about the breakfast, answered a lot of our questions and ? retired. Located within the cozy Riyadh, with a beautiful patio, and became interested in dinner. Dinner can be on the spot. Price subject to 20 euros from the nose. In the menu of two dishes - Tajin and couscous, cooked by his wife Saida. ? We were not ready to accept local food and went to Medina, look for something European. That naive fool:) ? Card Said we did not provide, so we went to the Sun ? We move slowly, memorizing every sign and turn, the seller boiled snails, fruit merchant, a bunch of garbage, sleeping against the wall of the local homeless, etc. ? The heart of the city, the busiest place in Marrakesh, one of the most exciting areas of the Maghreb - the so-called area can be jam-el-Fna. ? Today, it is a strange place, with a spirit of medieval squares. Artists of all genres show their talent, and Tur?­s-loungers leave their blood capitalist dollars and euros. Here can be found fortune-tellers, soothsayers, risovalschits henna ? snake charmers, ? Sellers exotic potions, healers, local lunatics with bells, jars, old hats with fringed dazzle of bright colors, with bells, skins with water and brilliant ? cups on straps across his chest. ? All this is seasoned with the hot eyes and nose, crazy cocktail of smells ? exhaust gas mopeds, dust, embers, barbecues, boilers, grilled meat and fish, turmeric, mint and spices. ? That's how it smells Marrakech! To say that an area of many people - not to say anything! ? Frankly, we got scared and uncomfortable. The wisest decision in a given situation, rise to the terrace, "de Franse CAFE" - the oldest restaurant on the square, or on the roof of a diner "Vrasserie du Glacier", or "Arganal. ? . Cheers! Civilization! The challenge for the morning was clear - to board a bus and ride with the breeze. ? The day was intense. It's time to go back to our riad. The other route we do not know, so that ? forward, and with songs, jam-el-Fna, we are back! ? We quickly passed the area and took a picture of ethnic musicians, went into a cafe, ate cake and drank lassi avocado, tasty! According to the principle - right here, and here the left trying not to get lost in the crowd. Opanki, and there is no possibility to go forward. Cork, gentlemen, the human traffic jam. In one of the narrow passages of Medina faced two streams of people. Some went to the area, while others returned with her. Retreat was impossible. We clung to the Arab women with children. I did not know that stronger hold - a camera bag or bracelet on her arm. To tell the truth, to such close bodily contact with the local population, I was not ready at all! In the eyes of foreigners, I read quiet horror. Perhaps, in my eyes they read the horror in a quiet square. Local shouting and laughing. They were fun. Maybe it is they have such a massive public ? erotica. We were not amused. The first time in my life I realized what claustrophobia. My throat was a lump, could not breathe and the fear of suppressed ? any attempt to give the brain something intelligibly-saving. All this is compounded by moped, which is stuck in the crowd roared, puffed, stinking and shouting, wanting to escape to freedom. Moving forward millimeter by millimeter, the crowd dispersed. You can catch my breath. The rest of the way, we literally ran to the Riad. Said we were met by a smile and a question "Well, Jem el Fna?" The answer was short - shock! Once experienced in the crowd, demanding the body relax. Said brought us wine. F-oo-oo, you can breath. Perhaps, this episode was the most unpleasant in our journey to Marrakesh. ? Another feature of Morocco - a muezzin call to prayer. When you walk you the day of the noisy city, the appeal seems so quiet and distant. But when at 5 am, you wake prolonged howl ... ? sorry. ? Woke up early, affected the difference in time (with Moscow for 3 hours, with Riga 2 hours). The sun is beckoning. After breakfast in the cozy courtyard, Riad, went to the terrace for sunbathing. Said gave us sun-beds and brought mattresses. Oh, well, how! ? It would lay. But no, we are waiting Unidentified red and red city sightseeing bus. ? Romantigue. ? When you go out beyond the walls of Medina, ranked by UNESCO in 1985 to a World Heritage site, then you understand that Marrakech big and beautiful city. In its architecture mixed Arab and European motifs. Extended, wide avenues and green appeared before our eyes. ? Restaurants, shops, offices, theater, house congress, familiar names of European brands, all of this is in the red city. The difference seen in Medina and in the center of the modern Marrakech, is palpable as the day and night! We passed the largest hotels. First among them is ? La Mamounia - former home of the ruler Moulay al-Mamun, and now the most fashionable hotel of the city. ? All the rest, "super romantic" - a club-type remote hotels, golf clubs, construction sites, and camels. ? We concluded that the tour ? waste of time. Before Mazhorel garden and can be reached by taxi. ? We went from the beautiful building the railway station, ? found the bus station, bought tickets for the first flight to Essaouira. Tomorrow is waiting for us Atlantic Ocean and the city is difficult with the spoken name. ? Discover the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Morocco took place. In the evening we once again breathe the air crazy Jam al-Fny marched through the Medina, looked at the coal-black sky, drank Moroccan tea ? and said goodbye, feeling emotions - from fear of a cooling back to the indescribable delight. The combination of the 21 st century and a historical unreality. So perhaps you can in a few words to describe Marrakech. ? Let me quote the tourists visiting this city -- ? Marrakech exhausted you vyzhmet, dry and fade, but hate it you do not have time. One of the oldest and liveliest cities in the world to quickly fill your being re: slippers, Grandma and dzhelyabami, henna, and antimony, Islam and Bedouin tales. This ? most stable in the world chaos - Marrakech! ? Absolutely agree with him. ? P.S. And before the quarter leather craftsmen, we have not got. So, there is to aspire to, Fes worth a visit.

southwest airlines internet specials Story about a trip to Russia, Kazan. Kazan: The City of Millennium






southwest airlines internet specials
To quickly go to hell out of town I do not want to see on TV zombies devouring directly to the Ostankino studios neck Mikhail Sorokin or people as a whole chest Ksenia Sobchak. In itself, of course, live. In general, the morning Yandex asked about the weather in Kazan, the queue for tickets to the cashier, and that same evening train with a sign " ? -Kazan "takes me on a perfect and Vasilisa the Middle East. ? Reserved seat from October 1, worth 650-900 USD depending on the firm trains and time of year. Go about 15 hours, which is almost 2 times more than Peter. With us in the coupe goes girl Olya. She looks multi, drawing princesses, played with me in the names - and somewhere under ? already calls me 'uncle, Sergei. The names of the couple tells her students geologists from KSU. They go every year for 3-4 months of practice in the taiga, and know a lot of names and nationalities of the Mansi Evens. This year, it abandoned on the turntable in Yakutia. In each backpack up to 25 kg of minerals! When Olga helped me with is almost "hanged", I ask to show me photos of Yakutsk. Never seen snow in mid-July? ? Globalists: Every religion - ON DOME Straight from the station by bus number 2, we're going to Old Arakchino look at the so-called Temple of all religions (ecumenical temple, Temple of Peace) - sectarian ekletichnoe conglomeration of Byzantine domes of Orthodox crosses, Gothic steeples, Roerich characters, stars of David and Muslim crescents and Buddhist gongs. Results will be 16 domes from all the world tsiviliztsy (including Atlantis !!!): every religion - on the dome. By rotating the central dome will be a real observatory with a telescope, and in the halls can be found and the German agency, and the Orthodox iconostasis, and the Golden Buddha (a gift from a well-known South Korean corporation). In architectural terms, these buildings resemble a lively city of the future, drawn by the genius of Michael Arias anime "Reinforced concrete. ? The idea of combining religion reminded me kaodaytsev with headquarters in the Vietnamese city of Tay Ninh. Kaodaizm - one of the most eccentric religious trends in the world, attempt to create the ideal religion on the basis of all the best that offer teachings of the East and West. Salad of Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shamanism, Christianity and Islam - bon appetit! Many believe kaodaizm "religion of the future", which should unite the East and West, Muslims, Christians and Hindus. In the center of kaodayskogo all - one God, who is portrayed as a "seeing eye" - a common Masonic symbol. It turned out that exactly the same character (divine eye), there is even a 1-dollar bill Bank of America, on the reverse side of George Washington (President Roosevelt, Masson 32nd categories, approved a bill designed in 1935). Kaodaytsy believe that the 72 planets in the universe, and the planet No 1 is closest to heaven, and the planet 72 - to hell. Earth they have listed under number 68. Say that the most destitute on the planet 67 will never agree to place the king on the planet 68 ... Known 3 kaodayskih Saints, whose choice affects - Victor Hugo, the Chinese revolutionary party Kuomintana and some Vietnamese poet and educator of 16 centuries. Kaodaytsy spiritualistic practice sessions with God. Communion with God in the era of globalization is in Vietnamese, Chinese, French and English. Preach the cult of ancestors, nonviolence, austerity, honesty and abstinence and vegetarianism. Kaodayskie temples - very funny facilities. Stylistically, the closest to the phantasmagoric rococo. Eclectic mix of mosques, pagodas, and the church. Certainly, if you want you can find elements of baroque Naryshinsky. ? However, in the Old Arakchino - not a religious object (yet!), But rather - culture. This is a private area. Not a place of prayer, a place for reflection. No church of any faith, culture and the temple of truth. He founded his stubborn artist and philosopher Ildar Khans in place of his family home. No ceremonies are not performed and there will be no. Nevertheless, all suffering from a talk with the magician and healer pilgrims not disappear. One hopes that the art school graduate Surikovsky cure them of alcoholism and headaches. Free! Some addicts who came to the Volga treatment for drug addiction, working with him at a construction site. Khanova healing technique based on the good treatment of the human soul. It is believed that only we think that it hurts the hand, leg or heart. In fact, it hurts the soul, and that it come here to treat. ? We Ildar Khanova One interesting project - to collect hundreds of philosophers from different countries to close for a month at his home and poobsuzhdat problem of uniting all religions, peace on earth and a new faith. His task - not to unite religion. Let them develop independently. His task - to collect all religions, all cultures, to find the shortest way to preserve peace, kindness, humanity. ? In the future, based on the Universal Church will be in every way to develop the surrounding area - here you and the children's studio (Art, Conservatory, School of Crafts), and horse-riding school, and narkolechebnitsa, and the hotel and the theater (the play will play in seven languages), and the school of philosophy (will develop a new ideology for Russia). The main objective for the khans - a school for training teachers of mankind. ? Incidentally, the idea of Ildar Khanova - is not new. Thus, in the village of Kamenka (Donets Basin, Luhansk region) was also built some "Temple of all religions" - on the mountain, from a Christian chapel and a Buddhist stupa. Icon of the altar assembled from around the world: Blessed Diva Maria from Italy, the guards elephants from India, the face of Jesus painted Luhansk master. Creates all archaeologist and traveler veteran Nikolai Tarasenko in 1992 (Khans laid his creation in 1994). There are picturesque mountain mansion with a garden, a bath house, a smithy and apiary. This farm guard six cats. ? In all this there is something. God - the concept capacious. It should be about this ... just keep quiet and do good, for good - this is God. ? GEORGIAN MOTHER OF GOD NEAR RED SEA TATARSTAN second day in the capital of Tatarstan, we decided to dedicate a trip to Raif - a sacred place in the middle of the Volga-Kama State Nature Reserve, 25 km from the city (bus near the Central Department Store or at Zelenodolsk to stop opposite the railway station, 40 minutes ). There, in 1613 is ? Male Raifa Virgin Monastery. ? Monastery received its name from the place on the Red Sea, where the IV century at the hands of the pagans killed Christian monks. The fact that the monastery has long been surrounded by Gentiles, the wild Cheremis came to the shore of the lake for the sacrifices, and by analogy, it was decided to call it Raifa Bogorodickij. After the 1917 revolution it housed young offenders, and only in 1991, returned to the territory of the ROC. Now she even brought under the protection of UNESCO. ? century, traveled to Georgia, Persia, now kept in the Montenegrin monastery in the Arkhangelsk region). In 1992, the restorer of St. Petersburg has restored this icon, and guides as they say, for the 2 weeks that he worked on the miraculous shrine - he came to faith. The artist refused to pay for their work (and it is about 10 000 ye) and now takes a year for the restoration of this temple on one icon. This now rare in our time altruism. Note the uncharacteristic for Orthodox architecture, mechanical watches under the dome of the bell tower. Perhaps, this cathedral - one of the most unusual places in the light of the August crisis in Caucasus. His outstanding and interior painting of the temple, restored the St. Petersburg artists. The very same image favors the people of art, so you can meet here regularly known Russian artists. In addition, it is believed that the miraculous icon helps in gynecological diseases. In general, a suitable place for the landscape arhitektorsh with bad microflora. ? The second remarkable monastery - miniature Sofia church. Built in the late ? century, it is awarded for the smallest church in Europe (personally I doubt this fact). Prayer was spending only the monks, and even they can come here only once a year - the day of the holy mother, Sophia and her daughters, Faith, Hope and Love (30 September). ? The territory of the monastery is replete with various clumsy monuments and kitsch sculptures. Looks are not super, but funny. Thus, the lake, just outside the walls of the monastery is remarkably colorful stone frog. In the polka-dot dress, with brightly painted, as if to kiss her lips. Moreover, absolutely dumb frog. Replicable guides legend says that long ago hard frogs were croaking in the lake prevented the monks pray. Those prayed about it, and frogs croak stopped. Curious French scientists have tried to find out what kind of wah nekvakayuschie such, may form a special - brought to speak the common, so they too were silent. Is that true or not - witness: in October, there was no trace of amphibians. The second legend is also about waterfowl - a beaver. Near the monastery in the Volga-Kama Reserve beavers settled. It turned out that all the "family" beavers live on the other side of the lake from the monastery, and unmarried - near the monastery. Scientists say that these beavers in the world no longer. ? The third common legend, so far not received a canonical presentation - about the post-Soviet akvatselitele Alan Chumak. They say someone wanted to visit the abode of the magician was not able to pass through the gates. Some unknown force would not let him. In a particularly orthodox version of the legend lzhetselitelya even after three attempts was taken to accident and was hospitalized. In contrast, Chumak, here were able to pass other odious personality: here was married to his wife's former chief tax collector Alexander Pochinok (rumored to be prayed for improving tax collection), bathed in the lake, Boris Yeltsin, prayed A. Pugacheva. Were also in the monastery Berezovsky, Zyuganov (!), Anatoly Chubais, H. Boos (baptized in the lake in winter), Rushailo, I. Kobzon, O. Gazmanov, V. Leontiev, A. Kalyagin (married and was baptized), S. Govorukhin YU.SHevchuk and many others. For those guests at the entrance as a separate ? -parking with a flagpole. ? Famous for the monastery and its proprietary fire brigade. One winter, then burned willow, a fire truck from the city reaching out for 40 minutes. After that, monks are not just burning house thinking. Now here's villagers in the fire ... call to the monastery. He travels to meet the occasion to call a machine with a flasher and a huge inscription "Raif monastery. With God, as they say, help! ? The monastery is very well maintained. In the flower beds at the cemetery and painty temple walls, drew the attention ?????±?????‚???°?? Sofa Hotel Dom pilgrim "is most like a mini-spa hotel on the shores of Lake Raifa. In cells mysteriously flicker computers: operating the local computer network. Blood and lean Swedish table is feasible paid labor for the benefit of the monastery. Well, just to satisfy his hunger, you can easily - in a nearby cafe. There and chak-chak, and coffee with milk. Full Sabantui! Formerly a convent to sell its branded bread products in the house with a kindly sign "Hlebushek", but has recently removed all the bread - you have to be content Zelenodolsk baking in polyethylene. ? Buildings in the baroque and bizarre monuments - not important in Raif. Here is a great nature - view of the lake, clean air reserve, birds, little animals (visual aids on the surrounding flora and fauna is on posters at the lake), structured chimes and namolennaya water from a well-chapel (but for more than a 10-liter water intake Be ready to leave the fee - prices on the wall!). In the cathedral, in a candle shop, offering the same water for 35 rubles. a bottle with a label zapatentovannnoy ? "Raifa source". ? . Buy. In the picturesque overwater chapel, in which you find yourself on a special pontoon, is the sacrament of baptism, though in normal times, but rather serves as a park gazebo overlooking. At the very same baptism, by the way, on the lake you can see dozens of ice sculptures on biblical themes. I think it's great - come to Raif on Epiphany, to plunge into the hole in the shape of a cross with a view of some shining Judah, stopping overnight at the five-star "House of Pilgrim's snow-removal efforts for the symbolic ... ? Very nice view of the monastery called him from the opposite shore of the lake Raifa, where supposedly live only "family" beavers, but there we Vasilisa, unfortunately, did not reach ... Nevertheless, we spent a wonderful day surrounded by 300 year old pines, dazzling gold of autumn and floating away in the southern hemisphere sun. No worse than the Red Sea. ? CITY Millennium Dragon, Keep SOVEREIGNTY ? Many historians and historians had not yet reached a consensus as to the true age of Kazan, the capital of the Tatars of the world. Versions differ on the age of four. For e ? If follow traditional principles of dating, when the time of founding of the city shall be the date of its first mention in written sources, that Kazan was founded no earlier than the XIV century. ? Nevertheless, the official Millennium behalf of the Czech Republic found a coin, dated to about 930 a year, is celebrated with great pomp in 2005. Of course, this more than a round figure of many city attractions retouched, mastered wasteland and updated facades along the routes of official delegations. Not bad would happen and a monument to the ill-fated coin set. ? It is clear that Moscow and Kazan old scores. ? In 1552 an outpost of the Golden Horde Bulgar was conquered by Ivan the Terrible, and the Kazan Khanate was annexed to Russia. Next was the province of Kazan, the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, the Republic of Tatarstan, which threatened in the early 90's sovereignty ... Just look at the emblems of the city of Moscow and Kazan: George v. ? Zilant - snake-dragon, the symbol of Kazan! One legend about the origin of the town said that Kazan was built where it landed analog dragon (it was on the hill where now stands the rebuilt anew female Zilantov monastery). Funny also that Zilant can be seen on the coats of arms is not only the Tatar cities, but also Kashira near Moscow! ? Ambitions in Kazan, no less than in Moscow. In his own white-stone Kremlin on the banks of the river Kazanka the seat of government of the republic, headed by President Shaimiev. Signs and flags on the towers indicate that he is not protected by the SSF, but - UNESCO. In addition, as in any respected the Kremlin, there has its Spassky tower. With these chimes. The ensemble of the Kremlin - ekletichnoe pandemonium minarets of old and new, orthodox makovok, state flags, and Stalin's five-pointed stars. The original mosque Kul-Sharif was ? burned by the troops of Ivan the Terrible in the capture of Kazan. In 1996 tyasyacheletiyu the city began its recovery in the image of the destroyed many years ago, Al-Kabir in Bulgar - a symbol of Islam of the Volga. Now in the Kul-Sharif entrance only shoe covers (5 USD), allowed guests to inspect interiors up the spiral staircase inside runs a small museum of Islam. ? Kazan - a Tatar branch of Pisa. Here, too, has its own showered tower. Syuyumbike - queen of Kazan, Nogai Murzas daughter and wife of the last three kings of Kazan (as it is understood?). Legend has it that partial to the ladies Ivan the Terrible suggested that the queen's hand and the heart (ie, the fourth marriage?), But willful Syuyumbike rejected the king and his hand and heart. It was then angered by the king and outfitted the famous march to Atlanta ended a successful capture of the town. Then Syuyumbike supposedly agreed to go down the aisle, but with the proviso that, as a wedding gift by the king for 7 days in Kazan to build the highest tower. The tower was hastily constructed (put in the day on stage), began the wedding feast. Syuyumbike asked permission to go upstairs, to survey his home town and say goodbye to the townspeople. Unable to either submit the Terrible, or say goodbye to his native city - soon from a height 58 meters queen flew down. Today the tower bends down to his princess - the slope from the vertical is 1,8 m (in Pisa - 4,5 m). By the way, the tower Syuyumbike is the prototype of the building of the Kazan station in Moscow. ? Having been in Kazan, we can not ignore ? list of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God - one of the most revered icons in the Russian Church, which is stored in the Kazan Mother of God Monastery in five minutes' walk from the Kremlin. In honor of this icon of Kazan cathedral was built in St. Petersburg. As often happens, the original miraculous icon disappeared mysteriously in 1904, and in the 2004th year, diplomats from the Vatican gave Alexy ? list of unknown origin, which was placed in the church of the Virgin Exaltation of the Cross Monastery. ? Kazan Arbat - street Bauman. As it spread out a lot of fountains, iron fotokareta, casino, cafe and restaurants of national cuisine. It is located 62-meter bell tower of the church of the Epiphany in the pseudo-Russian style - the Kazan response Notrdamu, as well as colorful and Paul Cathedral ( ? c) with a charming evening lights. In the center of Kazan touching signs of shops with a rare Russian letters as "b" - in the end. It seems that you have to walk on some retro-town. In addition to "b" caught the eye of the characteristic signs "Fatiha. Salon Islamic dress "or" Salam. Wholesale and retail Islamic shop ", as well as messages such as" In the shop at work should be a Muslim woman "(direct, incidentally, is a violation of the LC RF!). ? The town's name ( "cauldron" - "pot") corresponds to the rhythm of the bustling life of the cities. ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ? . ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ? You ? , ? , ?  ? . ?  links tory4 link story 6 of toourim link stoty2 likn story5 lin, story1 link stoty4 link story 6 of in clusie link stiry3 link story5 lijk story2 linkk story5 link stoy1 link stoty4 link story1 lnk story4 link story 66 of carnivl link tory 6 of vacatin link stor4 link stoey5 pink story1 linkstory 6 of inclusie lin story3 link stoory2 link story of grandcayman islanq linj story4 link stor y1 story of ca ribben li nk story1 link sstory2 link stor2 link ctory1 link stry1 link story5 lijk story4 syory of tropicl oink story1 link storj1 link story 6 of island maps of triinidad tobao link stody4 link stor link stoey4 link etory2 link sory2 link stoory2 lin k story4 li nk story4 link stoory2

political map of the united kingdom Story about a trip to Sicily, Palermo. Sicily - Week in September






political map of the united kingdom
At first glance at the map it became clear that Sicily - a very large island, to try for a week to cover it all, or even mostly. After analyzing obtain in the sights and considering that theaters and amphitheaters better to look at Turkey, where they are not as affected by restoration fanaticism, the choice was made in favor of the western part of Sicily. Basic hotel was chosen Hotel ? Plaia d'Himera, located on the north coast, 15 km to the left (in the direction of Palermo) from Cefalu. The hotel has left the best impression, especially the beautiful green area, surrounding the pool bizarre: ? Before picture report about an event, just a few sentences describe some points that may be useful for those traveling alone best. ? 1) If your English is not spoken too much, relax and forget it completely:) If it where useful, it is only for reception by the hotel, and even then not always. Italy in general is not too English-speaking countries, and Sicily clearly holds the palm in the ignorance of the enemy adverbs. It is well used to learn Italian a few basic questions (like "how to get ...", "where ...") to seed the conversation, and more - read the response in the body language companion. I always train yourself before going to the old children's game, when you ask the word, but you need some gestures to help your team guess the word. Believe in handy:) ? 2) remember that the favorite pastime of Italians is a siesta. And if the Spaniards, it all Well quite strictly regulated (for example, before a trip to Spain, I noted at the opening and closing of places which had planned to visit, and in fact all of what happened), then in Italy (at least in Sicily), all may not be as you expected. For example, arriving in Montreal, we were surprised to see that they were in a break of the cathedral, although all available information (including the one that was sent to me from the tourist office of the Palermo) on weekdays there should be no interruption. Castle Kakkamo opened after siesta in 15.30, although at my request in himself Kakkamo I was told that with 15.00. And there were several such cases. ? 3) If you are going to travel by car, be sure to take the navigator! Especially if you are going to drop in on the provincial seats in the island. But at the same time, firstly to exclude from the dirt roads of the route, and secondly, try to avoid that the navigator determines the road without a title, and third, go to the visual deterioration of the road only if there are genuine reasons and you are sure where you are going. We had a situation where "breaking" of Mussomeli (relatively remote pvince in the heart of Sicily) to the motorway Palermo-Catania, a good navigator, honestly following the principle of laying a fast and simple route brought us onto the road which was paved many years ago and is now overgrown with grass, covered with holes and stones. It reached the point that the place had to go out and throw stones in front of the wheels. ? 4) Train in Sicily (as in general in Italy) can be late! Not always, but can. You should not laid on them in case of strict time connections. ? And now - what they saw - in chronological order of our trips. ? Small (about 9 thousand inhabitants) town in the mountainous terrain just 30 miles from our hotel, so went there as a Sicilian "test drive" to get acquainted with the car, roads, terrain and customs. Kakkamo is primarily known for its castle, which is considered one of the largest castles not only of Sicily but also in Italy. The castle was built in the time of the Normans in the 11-12 centuries, then was reconstructed several times, but yet I kept up our time rather majestic and aloofness. Unfortunately, we were unable to repeat the angles of the castle, which can be seen on professional photos (most likely, they are removed from the top, possibly with air) to the same position of the sun prevented to do better shots: ? Center Kakkamo, as any medieval European city, is the Cathedral Square and the Cathedral: ? In the cathedral there are several churches, so this seemed to us the most interesting: ? It seems that apart from the cathedral square, in Kakkamo are no flat surfaces: ? This town is very similar to Kakkamo its size and position. It is located 25 km south of Cefalu, also in the mountains. Already izdeleka see the castle, which towers over the town is not so much because of their size, but because standing on the hill. Construction of the castle began in 1316 by order of Count Francesco I of Ventimiglia kind, so the castle still bears that name (Ventimiglia). Externally, the castle is a mixture of Norman and Islamic architecture: ? The castle 3 floors, all of them are open to visitors, but special interest lovers of antiques are not, because almost all the rooms and halls are suitable for various museums. ? Church S. Antonino Martire: ? If someone decides to visit this town, additional information can be found here: ? http://www.comune.castelbuono.pa.it ? Sperling is farther to the south of Kastelbuono in the province of Enna. The road there goes through the mountains national park Madonie, so the speed is low, about 40 miles we drove over an hour. Sperling known caves troglodytes and Norman castle. Troglodytes are not too interested in us, we went there for the sake of the castle-fortress, and were not disappointed in this. Looking ahead to say that the greatest impression of Sicily just left not a top attractions, which emphasizes the most guidebooks and websites like "second level". And one of these places and become a fortress Sperling. ? The castle was built on a high rock, which itself is part of the castle walls. At several levels of the fortress was once located at the various stations and buildings: stables, a prison, granaries. Many facilities still remain: ? And this is how it looks is the rock on which it is located: ? Stairs leading to the rock: ? And then the fun begins: at the very top, at the last level of the castle is now such a narrow staircase with uneven steps, polished feet and winds: ? Among other things, the steps have a strong inclination, so of harm's way better to hold on to a rope tied to a rock instead of railings. Finally, we at the very top: ? Way down, despite the well-known rule that down harder than the climb proved to be simple. If you do not relax:) ? To put it fashionable for today slang, the fortress was an obvious result:) ? Segesta is one of the oldest settlements in Sicily, has a rich history of ups and downs, wars and destruction, has repeatedly passed from hand to hand. But today she is known first and foremost a huge ancient temple of Doric style, presumably built in V century BC On the perimeter of the temple has 36 pillars of smooth, its thickness (the diameter at the base of 1,95 m, 1,56 m at the top) resemble an Egyptian temple in Luxor. The lack of a roof is not the result of destruction in such a temple was built. On this account, there are different versions (for example, because the construction was not completed due to war operations against Selinunte), if you wish to inete can find lots of information on this topic. ? Approximately 1.5 km from the temple on the northern slopes of Monte Barbaro (which translates from Italian as Mount Barbarian) is situated Theater Segesta, dating from the 3. BC : ? The road is fairly steeply uphill, so the temple there is a shuttle bus (every half hour, 1.5 euros per round trip). Conversely, if you wish, you can descend on foot or go to the next bus. The truth is, theater is not too impressive (and the remaining debris should not even waste time and effort), so an hour between buses is quite enough to see the area very thoroughly. That's how the top looks oddly freeway: ? After a visit to Segesta a sin not to drive in Erice. It is located approximately 30 km west of Segesta near Trapani. It's about 40-50 minutes since the last 5 km must climb the steep winding serpentine. ? Erice - one of those towns that have preserved its medieval appearance, of course, diluted inevitable cafes, shops and modern outfits tourists. It is unique in the fact that the city is located not just on the mountain, and almost sheer cliffs, with its panoramic view of the sea and the coastal plain: ? If you enter the town from the park through the gates of Trapani (Porta Trapani), then almost immediately taken to the cathedral square, where you grow up in front of the Duomo and Campanile (bell tower) XIII century.: ? I recommend just to buy a "comprehensive" ticket for 5 euros, which can not only climb the tower, but also enter more in 5-6 churches, including the Cathedral. In general, such tickets are sold in every church where there is a ticket office, so that from this point of view no matter where you start to bypass. Climbing the steep steps of the bell tower, before you open about this kind of Erice: ? Inside the cathedral was impressed by its understated at first glance, but very refined, I would say - a sophisticated interior, executed in muted pastel colors: ? This ceiling that deserves separate consideration: ? The city is almost an equilateral triangle, each side which can be passed (if not stop and stay) for about half an hour: ? No matter which path you choose, but in the end point of travel you will have a Norman castle built on the site of a temple dedicated to the goddess Venus, and therefore also called the Castle of Venus. Log in him free, but inside is nothing particularly interesting there, except another viewing platform. ? Just below the castle offers a magnificent view of the tower Pepoli, inviting an amazing addressed swallow nests: ? Valley of the temples of Agrigento - perhaps the biggest disappointment of Sicily. Not in the sense that it did not like it at all, just seen does not correspond to untwisted image of almost any of the steep historic site in Sicily. From the former Greek city Akragas remained almost half of the temple. Those who went to Athens, are unlikely to see here is something fundamentally new. However, if you do not expect anything monumental, just a stroll there in the cool weather is pleasant. ? I went to the Valley of the temples, I would advise a route SS640, skirting the city from the east. Already a 1.5-2 km to the finish 2 times turn right at the roundabout - and you are almost on the spot. The journey from the area near Cefalu - about 2 hours. The road along which you came, shared the Valley of the Temples in 2 parts: the western and eastern.

political map of the united kingdom Story about a trip to Sicily, Palermo. Sicily - Week in September






political map of the united kingdom
At first glance at the map it became clear that Sicily - a very large island, to try for a week to cover it all, or even mostly. After analyzing obtain in the sights and considering that theaters and amphitheaters better to look at Turkey, where they are not as affected by restoration fanaticism, the choice was made in favor of the western part of Sicily. Basic hotel was chosen Hotel ? Plaia d'Himera, located on the north coast, 15 km to the left (in the direction of Palermo) from Cefalu. The hotel has left the best impression, especially the beautiful green area, surrounding the pool bizarre: ? Before picture report about an event, just a few sentences describe some points that may be useful for those traveling alone best. ? 1) If your English is not spoken too much, relax and forget it completely:) If it where useful, it is only for reception by the hotel, and even then not always. Italy in general is not too English-speaking countries, and Sicily clearly holds the palm in the ignorance of the enemy adverbs. It is well used to learn Italian a few basic questions (like "how to get ...", "where ...") to seed the conversation, and more - read the response in the body language companion. I always train yourself before going to the old children's game, when you ask the word, but you need some gestures to help your team guess the word. Believe in handy:) ? 2) remember that the favorite pastime of Italians is a siesta. And if the Spaniards, it all Well quite strictly regulated (for example, before a trip to Spain, I noted at the opening and closing of places which had planned to visit, and in fact all of what happened), then in Italy (at least in Sicily), all may not be as you expected. For example, arriving in Montreal, we were surprised to see that they were in a break of the cathedral, although all available information (including the one that was sent to me from the tourist office of the Palermo) on weekdays there should be no interruption. Castle Kakkamo opened after siesta in 15.30, although at my request in himself Kakkamo I was told that with 15.00. And there were several such cases. ? 3) If you are going to travel by car, be sure to take the navigator! Especially if you are going to drop in on the provincial seats in the island. But at the same time, firstly to exclude from the dirt roads of the route, and secondly, try to avoid that the navigator determines the road without a title, and third, go to the visual deterioration of the road only if there are genuine reasons and you are sure where you are going. We had a situation where "breaking" of Mussomeli (relatively remote pvince in the heart of Sicily) to the motorway Palermo-Catania, a good navigator, honestly following the principle of laying a fast and simple route brought us onto the road which was paved many years ago and is now overgrown with grass, covered with holes and stones. It reached the point that the place had to go out and throw stones in front of the wheels. ? 4) Train in Sicily (as in general in Italy) can be late! Not always, but can. You should not laid on them in case of strict time connections. ? And now - what they saw - in chronological order of our trips. ? Small (about 9 thousand inhabitants) town in the mountainous terrain just 30 miles from our hotel, so went there as a Sicilian "test drive" to get acquainted with the car, roads, terrain and customs. Kakkamo is primarily known for its castle, which is considered one of the largest castles not only of Sicily but also in Italy. The castle was built in the time of the Normans in the 11-12 centuries, then was reconstructed several times, but yet I kept up our time rather majestic and aloofness. Unfortunately, we were unable to repeat the angles of the castle, which can be seen on professional photos (most likely, they are removed from the top, possibly with air) to the same position of the sun prevented to do better shots: ? Center Kakkamo, as any medieval European city, is the Cathedral Square and the Cathedral: ? In the cathedral there are several churches, so this seemed to us the most interesting: ? It seems that apart from the cathedral square, in Kakkamo are no flat surfaces: ? This town is very similar to Kakkamo its size and position. It is located 25 km south of Cefalu, also in the mountains. Already izdeleka see the castle, which towers over the town is not so much because of their size, but because standing on the hill. Construction of the castle began in 1316 by order of Count Francesco I of Ventimiglia kind, so the castle still bears that name (Ventimiglia). Externally, the castle is a mixture of Norman and Islamic architecture: ? The castle 3 floors, all of them are open to visitors, but special interest lovers of antiques are not, because almost all the rooms and halls are suitable for various museums. ? Church S. Antonino Martire: ? If someone decides to visit this town, additional information can be found here: ? http://www.comune.castelbuono.pa.it ? Sperling is farther to the south of Kastelbuono in the province of Enna. The road there goes through the mountains national park Madonie, so the speed is low, about 40 miles we drove over an hour. Sperling known caves troglodytes and Norman castle. Troglodytes are not too interested in us, we went there for the sake of the castle-fortress, and were not disappointed in this. Looking ahead to say that the greatest impression of Sicily just left not a top attractions, which emphasizes the most guidebooks and websites like "second level". And one of these places and become a fortress Sperling. ? The castle was built on a high rock, which itself is part of the castle walls. At several levels of the fortress was once located at the various stations and buildings: stables, a prison, granaries. Many facilities still remain: ? And this is how it looks is the rock on which it is located: ? Stairs leading to the rock: ? And then the fun begins: at the very top, at the last level of the castle is now such a narrow staircase with uneven steps, polished feet and winds: ? Among other things, the steps have a strong inclination, so of harm's way better to hold on to a rope tied to a rock instead of railings. Finally, we at the very top: ? Way down, despite the well-known rule that down harder than the climb proved to be simple. If you do not relax:) ? To put it fashionable for today slang, the fortress was an obvious result:) ? Segesta is one of the oldest settlements in Sicily, has a rich history of ups and downs, wars and destruction, has repeatedly passed from hand to hand. But today she is known first and foremost a huge ancient temple of Doric style, presumably built in V century BC On the perimeter of the temple has 36 pillars of smooth, its thickness (the diameter at the base of 1,95 m, 1,56 m at the top) resemble an Egyptian temple in Luxor. The lack of a roof is not the result of destruction in such a temple was built. On this account, there are different versions (for example, because the construction was not completed due to war operations against Selinunte), if you wish to inete can find lots of information on this topic. ? Approximately 1.5 km from the temple on the northern slopes of Monte Barbaro (which translates from Italian as Mount Barbarian) is situated Theater Segesta, dating from the 3. BC : ? The road is fairly steeply uphill, so the temple there is a shuttle bus (every half hour, 1.5 euros per round trip). Conversely, if you wish, you can descend on foot or go to the next bus. The truth is, theater is not too impressive (and the remaining debris should not even waste time and effort), so an hour between buses is quite enough to see the area very thoroughly. That's how the top looks oddly freeway: ? After a visit to Segesta a sin not to drive in Erice. It is located approximately 30 km west of Segesta near Trapani. It's about 40-50 minutes since the last 5 km must climb the steep winding serpentine. ? Erice - one of those towns that have preserved its medieval appearance, of course, diluted inevitable cafes, shops and modern outfits tourists. It is unique in the fact that the city is located not just on the mountain, and almost sheer cliffs, with its panoramic view of the sea and the coastal plain: ? If you enter the town from the park through the gates of Trapani (Porta Trapani), then almost immediately taken to the cathedral square, where you grow up in front of the Duomo and Campanile (bell tower) XIII century.: ? I recommend just to buy a "comprehensive" ticket for 5 euros, which can not only climb the tower, but also enter more in 5-6 churches, including the Cathedral. In general, such tickets are sold in every church where there is a ticket office, so that from this point of view no matter where you start to bypass. Climbing the steep steps of the bell tower, before you open about this kind of Erice: ? Inside the cathedral was impressed by its understated at first glance, but very refined, I would say - a sophisticated interior, executed in muted pastel colors: ? This ceiling that deserves separate consideration: ? The city is almost an equilateral triangle, each side which can be passed (if not stop and stay) for about half an hour: ? No matter which path you choose, but in the end point of travel you will have a Norman castle built on the site of a temple dedicated to the goddess Venus, and therefore also called the Castle of Venus. Log in him free, but inside is nothing particularly interesting there, except another viewing platform. ? Just below the castle offers a magnificent view of the tower Pepoli, inviting an amazing addressed swallow nests: ? Valley of the temples of Agrigento - perhaps the biggest disappointment of Sicily. Not in the sense that it did not like it at all, just seen does not correspond to untwisted image of almost any of the steep historic site in Sicily. From the former Greek city Akragas remained almost half of the temple. Those who went to Athens, are unlikely to see here is something fundamentally new. However, if you do not expect anything monumental, just a stroll there in the cool weather is pleasant. ? I went to the Valley of the temples, I would advise a route SS640, skirting the city from the east. Already a 1.5-2 km to the finish 2 times turn right at the roundabout - and you are almost on the spot. The journey from the area near Cefalu - about 2 hours. The road along which you came, shared the Valley of the Temples in 2 parts: the western and eastern. From the west - a small dirt parking lot, where you meet and for 3 euros given parking ticket for 5 hours of parking and if parking is already crowded, show the place where to stand. Here the same ticket, the ticket costs 8 euros, for him to pass both parts of the Valley, so that entering into one, do not throw it. ? The western part is not of particular interest, do not spend it on more than an hour. Both the church who were there (of Olympian Zeus and Dioscurus), has long been a heap of stones, though sometimes very picturesque, especially against the national Sicilian flora: ? Right at the entrance you will see a figure lying forms - the so-called Telamon, a function previously performed by Atlanta, supporting the porticoes of the temple of Zeus: ? The eastern part of the Valley more interesting to get into it, you simply cross the road and go the same tickets through the turnstiles. Then before you will be a long straight road, but right on it, 3 more temple. The first of them - the temple of Hercules - is marked by several remaining columns: ? Next temple - Concordia (or Temple of Concord) - the most reminiscent of what was built here around 25 centuries ago. This is most likely the result of the restoration, too, he looks good in comparison with others. Perhaps it is thanks to him Agrigento and received such high acclaim. ? The latest in this series - the temple of Hera, quite destroyed, but nevertheless retained traces of its former grandeur and harmony: ? Walking along the eastern part of it will take you an hour and a half (the total distance from the entrance to the temple of Hera - 1.5-2 km). I recommend not to go all the time on the asphalt road, and take a little to the right (the direction from the entrance), then your path will go through a small Olive almond grove. Just in September, during our visit, almonds have already matured, and many visitors were tearing him and stabbed lying immediately stones. And a German tourist appearance under the 70 years just shaking the tree, as recalled a famous anecdote about the Ensign:) ? Thus, a viewing of the valley itself the temples you need 2-2.5 hours. If you travel another 500 meters along the same road on the left is the old church of St. Nicholas (13 in). In the style of early monumental Gothic (now a museum, but the church itself very effectively from the outside) ? and the so-called Ekklesiastery - located in popular assemblies, reminiscent of Greek theater: ? On the way back from Agrigento, we stopped in a small town Mussomeli see one of the most picturesque (and according to some sources - the most impregnable) castles Sicily - the castle Kyaromontano (castello chiaramontano). The castle was built in the Gothic-Norman style in the 14 century, and in current form is preserved with 15 in. Unfortunately, the city has failed to drop due to lack of time (the lock is located 2 km from Mussomeli), but the part it looks very impressive: ? The castle is located on the top of a cliff, and so mingled with her that we did not see it: ? In the castle itself to the present day are well preserved, some halls, caves, chapel: ? For the interiors, the castle to wander quite interesting, they are not spoiled by excessive restoration. ? On the walls still show traces of agriculture, which involved residents of the fortress (I'm joking, of course): ? In general, locking Mussomeli left one of the strongest impressions of Sicily, would highly recommend him for a visit. ? About Cefal?? is already so much written-in perenapisano inete that add something difficult.

We had a situation where "breaking" of Mussomeli (relatively remote province in the heart of Sicily) to the motorway Palermo-Catania, a good navigator, honestly following the principle of laying a fast and simple route brought us onto the road which was paved many years ago and is now overgrown with grass, covered with holes and stones. It reached the point that the place had to go out and throw stones in front of the wheels. ? 4) Train in Sicily (as in general in Italy) can be late! Not always, but can. You should not laid on them in case of strict time connections. ? And now - what they saw - in chronological order of our trips. ? Small (about 9 thousand inhabitants) town in the mountainous terrain just 30 miles from our hotel, so went there as a Sicilian "test drive" to get acquainted with the car, roads, terrain and customs. Kakkamo is primarily known for its castle, which is considered one of the largest castles not only of Sicily but also in Italy. The castle was built in the time of the Normans in the 11-12 centuries, then was reconstructed several times, but yet I kept up our time rather majestic and aloofness. Unfortunately, we were unable to repeat the angles of the castle, which can be seen on professional photos (most likely, they are removed from the top, possibly with air) to the same position of the sun prevented to do better shots: ? Center Kakkamo, as any medieval European city, is the Cathedral Square and the Cathedral: ? In the cathedral there are several churches, so this seemed to us the most interesting: ? It seems that apart from the cathedral square, in Kakkamo are no flat surfaces: ? This town is very similar to Kakkamo its size and position. It is located 25 km south of Cefalu, also in the mountains. Already izdeleka see the castle, which towers over the town is not so much because of their size, but because standing on the hill. Construction of the castle began in 1316 by order of Count Francesco I of Ventimiglia kind, so the castle still bears that name (Ventimiglia). Externally, the castle is a mixture of Norman and Islamic architecture: ? The castle 3 floors, all of them are open to visitors, but special interest lovers of antiques are not, because almost all the rooms and halls are suitable for various museums. ? Church S. Antonino Martire: ? If someone decides to visit this town, additional information can be found here: ? http://www.comune.castelbuono.pa.it ? Sperling is farther to the south of Kastelbuono in the province of Enna. The road there goes through the mountains national park Madonie, so the speed is low, about 40 miles we drove over an hour. Sperling known caves troglodytes and Norman castle. Troglodytes are not too interested in us, we went there for the sake of the castle-fortress, and were not disappointed in this. Looking ahead to say that the greatest impression of Sicily just left not a top attractions, which emphasizes the most guidebooks and websites like "second level". And one of these places and become a fortress Sperling. ? The castle was built on a high rock, which itself is part of the castle walls. At several levels of the fortress was once located at the various stations and buildings: stables, a prison, granaries. Many facilities still remain: ? And this is how it looks is the rock on which it is located: ? Stairs leading to the rock: ? And then the fun begins: at the very top, at the last level of the castle is now such a narrow staircase with uneven steps, polished feet and winds: ? Among other things, the steps have a strong inclination, so of harm's way better to hold on to a rope tied to a rock instead of railings. Finally, we at the very top: ? Way down, despite the well-known rule that down harder than the climb proved to be simple. If you do not relax:) ? To put it fashionable for today slang, the fortress was an obvious result:) ? Segesta is one of the oldest settlements in Sicily, has a rich history of ups and downs, wars and destruction, has repeatedly passed from hand to hand. But today she is known first and foremost a huge ancient temple of Doric style, presumably built in V century BC On the perimeter of the temple has 36 pillars of smooth, its thickness (the diameter at the base of 1,95 m, 1,56 m at the top) resemble an Egyptian temple in Luxor. The lack of a roof is not the result of destruction in such a temple was built. On this account, there are different versions (for example, because the construction was not completed due to war operations against Selinunte), if you wish to inete can find lots of information on this topic. ? Approximately 1.5 km from the temple on the northern slopes of Monte Barbaro (which translates from Italian as Mount Barbarian) is situated Theater Segesta, dating from the 3. BC : ? The road is fairly steeply uphill, so the temple there is a shuttle bus (every half hour, 1.5 euros per round trip). Conversely, if you wish, you can descend on foot or go to the next bus. The truth is, theater is not too impressive (and the remaining debris should not even waste time and effort), so an hour between buses is quite enough to see the area very thoroughly. That's how the top looks oddly freeway: ? After a visit to Segesta a sin not to drive in Erice. It is located approximately 30 km west of Segesta near Trapani. It's about 40-50 minutes since the last 5 km must climb the steep winding serpentine. ? Erice - one of those towns that have preserved its medieval appearance, of course, diluted inevitable cafes, shops and modern outfits tourists. It is unique in the fact that the city is located not just on the mountain, and almost sheer cliffs, with its panoramic view of the sea and the coastal plain: ? If you enter the town from the park through the gates of Trapani (Porta Trapani), then almost immediately taken to the cathedral square, where you grow up in front of the Duomo and Campanile (bell tower) XIII century.: ? I recommend just to buy a "comprehensive" ticket for 5 euros, which can not only climb the tower, but also enter more in 5-6 churches, including the Cathedral. In general, such tickets are sold in every church where there is a ticket office, so that from this point of view no matter where you start to bypass. Climbing the steep steps of the bell tower, before you open about this kind of Erice: ? Inside the cathedral was impressed by its understated at first glance, but very refined, I would say - a sophisticated interior, executed in muted pastel colors: ? This ceiling that deserves separate consideration: ? The city is almost an equilateral triangle, each side which can be passed (if not stop and stay) for about half an hour: ? No matter which path you choose, but in the end point of travel you will have a Norman castle built on the site of a temple dedicated to the goddess Venus, and therefore also called the Castle of Venus. Log in him free, but inside is nothing particularly interesting there, except another viewing platform. ? Just below the castle offers a magnificent view of the tower Pepoli, inviting an amazing addressed swallow nests: ? Valley of the temples of Agrigento - perhaps the biggest disappointment of Sicily. Not in the sense that it did not like it at all, just seen does not correspond to untwisted image of almost any of the steep historic site in Sicily. From the former Greek city Akragas remained almost half of the temple. Those who went to Athens, are unlikely to see here is something fundamentally new. However, if you do not expect anything monumental, just a stroll there in the cool weather is pleasant. ? I went to the Valley of the temples, I would advise a route SS640, skirting the city from the east. Already a 1.5-2 km to the finish 2 times turn right at the roundabout - and you are almost on the spot. The journey from the area near Cefalu - about 2 hours. The road along which you came, shared the Valley of the Temples in 2 parts: the western and eastern. From the west - a small dirt parking lot, where you meet and for 3 euros given parking ticket for 5 hours of parking and if parking is already crowded, show the place where to stand. Here the same ticket, the ticket costs 8 euros, for him to pass both parts of the Valley, so that entering into one, do not throw it. ? The western part is not of particular interest, do not spend it on more than an hour. Both the church who were there (of Olympian Zeus and Dioscurus), has long been a heap of stones, though sometimes very picturesque, especially against the national Sicilian flora: ? Right at the entrance you will see a figure lying forms - the so-called Telamon, a function previously performed by Atlanta, supporting the porticoes of the temple of Zeus: ? The eastern part of the Valley more interesting to get into it, you simply cross the road and go the same tickets through the turnstiles. Then before you will be a long straight road, but right on it, 3 more temple. The first of them - the temple of Hercules - is marked by several remaining columns: ? Next temple - Concordia (or Temple of Concord) - the most reminiscent of what was built here around 25 centuries ago. This is most likely the result of the restoration, too, he looks good in comparison with others. Perhaps it is thanks to him Agrigento and received such high acclaim. ? The latest in this series - the temple of Hera, quite destroyed, but nevertheless retained traces of its former grandeur and harmony: ? Walking along the eastern part of it will take you an hour and a half (the total distance from the entrance to the temple of Hera - 1.5-2 km). I recommend not to go all the time on the asphalt road, and take a little to the right (the direction from the entrance), then your path will go through a small Olive almond grove. Just in September, during our visit, almonds have already matured, and many visitors were tearing him and stabbed lying immediately stones. And a German tourist appearance under the 70 years just shaking the tree, as recalled a famous anecdote about the Ensign:) ? Thus, a viewing of the valley itself the temples you need 2-2.5 hours. If you travel another 500 meters along the same road on the left is the old church of St. Nicholas (13 in). In the style of early monumental Gothic (now a museum, but the church itself very effectively from the outside) ? and the so-called Ekklesiastery - located in popular assemblies, reminiscent of Greek theater: ? On the way back from Agrigento, we stopped in a small town Mussomeli see one of the most picturesque (and according to some sources - the most impregnable) castles Sicily - the castle Kyaromontano (castello chiaramontano). The castle was built in the Gothic-Norman style in the 14 century, and in current form is preserved with 15 in. Unfortunately, the city has failed to drop due to lack of time (the lock is located 2 km from Mussomeli), but the part it looks very impressive: ? The castle is located on the top of a cliff, and so mingled with her that we did not see it: ? In the castle itself to the present day are well preserved, some halls, caves, chapel: ? For the interiors, the castle to wander quite interesting, they are not spoiled by excessive restoration. ? On the walls still show traces of agriculture, which involved residents of the fortress (I'm joking, of course): ? In general, locking Mussomeli left one of the strongest impressions of Sicily, would highly recommend him for a visit. ? About Cefal?? is already so much written-in perenapisano inete that add something difficult. And not everyone is interested to read historical tapestry. If the train after all anyone wants to see the chronicle of the city's founding, the origin of its name, the role of Cicero in the history of Cefal??, the legend of the creation of city's main attractions - the Norman cathedral of its founding father King Roger II - all this can be read, for example, The Wikipedia on the link " ? http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/?????±????_?§?µ?„?°?»?? ? . ? Cefalu, of course, is primarily known for the cathedral. However, I would venture to say that the true symbol of the city is the very same rock (La Rocca), at the foot of which it is located and which gave it a name. First, how much the cathedral dominates the town, on the same rock dominates over himself. And secondly, nearly 1000-year-old cathedral (founded in 12 century) is just a baby compared with the age of settlements on the Rock itself, where the preserved fragments of cyclopean walls (VI century BC. E.) And the Megalithic sanctuary before Greek time ( called Temple of Diana, IX-VIII centuries. BC. e.). Like the Eiffel Tower "sticks out" from almost any Parisian landscape and rock falls in almost every photo Cefal??: ? And yet - first on the cathedral. Perhaps many will say that the Norman style - this is not gothic and baroque, which can be admired for a long time. However, the cathedral delights and charms, and the more you look at it, the harder look away. It is more likely than other churches, has retained its original Norman character, it has not joined up (like, say, to the cathedral of Palermo), architectural fragments and other facilities (except the portico, which, however, fit into the architecture of the building is very organic). ? Stair connected with a terrace, anticipating the entrance to the cathedral. This terrace was originally a cemetery and was, according to tradition, poured earth brought from Jerusalem. ? Inside the cathedral is covered with golden mosaics, most of which is a monumental image of Christ Pantocrator: ? Do not go to kloyster Cathedral Cefal?? (a pointer to it will be left of the facade of the cathedral entrance, too, on the left side)! He is absolutely no, although a visit costs 3 euros! ? Another interesting and perhaps even a fun place in Cefal?? - medieval Arab laundry, organized on the principle of running water: clean water from taps in the form of animal heads and a dirty flowing on the other hand laundry. On the way water fills the special containers, which are served for washing. Today in the laundry room atmosphere of the show, many tourists there who washed socks, scarves who and who and legs, and the other with loud shouts and applause accompany this process. ? Here are a few snapshots taken in Cefal??: ? Completion of travel in Cefal?? was climbing on the very rock. First up are the modern steps, and then they end, and you continue to travel just over the stones, so it is desirable to have the appropriate shoes for yourself. ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ? But first things first. ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ? . ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ? . ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ligk story5 link stor2 lihk story2 story of resort link stroy5 link sto ry5 lin kstory5 link stlry1 link sory 6 of travl link stoy 6 of carnivl lijk story2 llink story2 link sttory1 lnk story 6 of tourim link story3 lin story 6 of airfae link tsory4 linj story5 story of ilsad .ink story2 link story 6 of tran story fo del llnk story1 lnik story5 link sgory4 link sttory4 lin story5 lihk story4 story of touri m stiry of royl link stort3 the link story5 link story 6 of resot ljnk story4 lin, story5 link st ory2 link stoory1 link shory5 stoy of del story of wedig xtory of trinidd link story 3 link story4 lonk story3 link story 3 link stry5 story oftrp link sstory1

southwest airlines internet specials Story about a trip to Russia, Kazan. Kazan: The City of Millennium






southwest airlines internet specials
To quickly go to hell out of town I do not want to see on TV zombies devouring directly to the Ostankino studios neck Mikhail Sorokin or people as a whole chest Ksenia Sobchak. In itself, of course, live. In general, the morning Yandex asked about the weather in Kazan, the queue for tickets to the cashier, and that same evening train with a sign " ? -Kazan "takes me on a perfect and Vasilisa the Middle East. ? Reserved seat from October 1, worth 650-900 USD depending on the firm trains and time of year. Go about 15 hours, which is almost 2 times more than Peter. With us in the coupe goes girl Olya. She looks multi, drawing princesses, played with me in the names - and somewhere under ? already calls me 'uncle, Sergei. The names of the couple tells her students geologists from KSU. They go every year for 3-4 months of practice in the taiga, and know a lot of names and nationalities of the Mansi Evens. This year, it abandoned on the turntable in Yakutia. In each backpack up to 25 kg of minerals! When Olga helped me with is almost "hanged", I ask to show me photos of Yakutsk. Never seen snow in mid-July? ? Globalists: Every religion - ON DOME Straight from the station by bus number 2, we're going to Old Arakchino look at the so-called Temple of all religions (ecumenical temple, Temple of Peace) - sectarian ekletichnoe conglomeration of Byzantine domes of Orthodox crosses, Gothic steeples, Roerich characters, stars of David and Muslim crescents and Buddhist gongs. Results will be 16 domes from all the world tsiviliztsy (including Atlantis !!!): every religion - on the dome. By rotating the central dome will be a real observatory with a telescope, and in the halls can be found and the German agency, and the Orthodox iconostasis, and the Golden Buddha (a gift from a well-known South Korean corporation). In architectural terms, these buildings resemble a lively city of the future, drawn by the genius of Michael Arias anime "Reinforced concrete. ? The idea of combining religion reminded me kaodaytsev with headquarters in the Vietnamese city of Tay Ninh. Kaodaizm - one of the most eccentric religious trends in the world, attempt to create the ideal religion on the basis of all the best that offer teachings of the East and West. Salad of Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shamanism, Christianity and Islam - bon appetit! Many believe kaodaizm "religion of the future", which should unite the East and West, Muslims, Christians and Hindus. In the center of kaodayskogo all - one God, who is portrayed as a "seeing eye" - a common Masonic symbol. It turned out that exactly the same character (divine eye), there is even a 1-dollar bill Bank of America, on the reverse side of George Washington (President Roosevelt, Masson 32nd categories, approved a bill designed in 1935). Kaodaytsy believe that the 72 planets in the universe, and the planet No 1 is closest to heaven, and the planet 72 - to hell. Earth they have listed under number 68. Say that the most destitute on the planet 67 will never agree to place the king on the planet 68 ... Known 3 kaodayskih Saints, whose choice affects - Victor Hugo, the Chinese revolutionary party Kuomintana and some Vietnamese poet and educator of 16 centuries. Kaodaytsy spiritualistic practice sessions with God. Communion with God in the era of globalization is in Vietnamese, Chinese, French and English. Preach the cult of ancestors, nonviolence, austerity, honesty and abstinence and vegetarianism. Kaodayskie temples - very funny facilities. Stylistically, the closest to the phantasmagoric rococo. Eclectic mix of mosques, pagodas, and the church. Certainly, if you want you can find elements of baroque Naryshinsky. ? However, in the Old Arakchino - not a religious object (yet!), But rather - culture. This is a private area. Not a place of prayer, a place for reflection. No church of any faith, culture and the temple of truth. He founded his stubborn artist and philosopher Ildar Khans in place of his family home. No ceremonies are not performed and there will be no. Nevertheless, all suffering from a talk with the magician and healer pilgrims not disappear. One hopes that the art school graduate Surikovsky cure them of alcoholism and headaches. Free! Some addicts who came to the Volga treatment for drug addiction, working with him at a construction site. Khanova healing technique based on the good treatment of the human soul. It is believed that only we think that it hurts the hand, leg or heart. In fact, it hurts the soul, and that it come here to treat. ? We Ildar Khanova One interesting project - to collect hundreds of philosophers from different countries to close for a month at his home and poobsuzhdat problem of uniting all religions, peace on earth and a new faith. His task - not to unite religion. Let them develop independently. His task - to collect all religions, all cultures, to find the shortest way to preserve peace, kindness, humanity. ? In the future, based on the Universal Church will be in every way to develop the surrounding area - here you and the children's studio (Art, Conservatory, School of Crafts), and horse-riding school, and narkolechebnitsa, and the hotel and the theater (the play will play in seven languages), and the school of philosophy (will develop a new ideology for Russia). The main objective for the khans - a school for training teachers of mankind. ? Incidentally, the idea of Ildar Khanova - is not new. Thus, in the village of Kamenka (Donets Basin, Luhansk region) was also built some "Temple of all religions" - on the mountain, from a Christian chapel and a Buddhist stupa. Icon of the altar assembled from around the world: Blessed Diva Maria from Italy, the guards elephants from India, the face of Jesus painted Luhansk master. Creates all archaeologist and traveler veteran Nikolai Tarasenko in 1992 (Khans laid his creation in 1994). There are picturesque mountain mansion with a garden, a bath house, a smithy and apiary. This farm guard six cats. ? In all this there is something. God - the concept capacious. It should be about this ... just keep quiet and do good, for good - this is God. ? GEORGIAN MOTHER OF GOD NEAR RED SEA TATARSTAN second day in the capital of Tatarstan, we decided to dedicate a trip to Raif - a sacred place in the middle of the Volga-Kama State Nature Reserve, 25 km from the city (bus near the Central Department Store or at Zelenodolsk to stop opposite the railway station, 40 minutes ). There, in 1613 is ? Male Raifa Virgin Monastery. ? Monastery received its name from the place on the Red Sea, where the IV century at the hands of the pagans killed Christian monks. The fact that the monastery has long been surrounded by Gentiles, the wild Cheremis came to the shore of the lake for the sacrifices, and by analogy, it was decided to call it Raifa Bogorodickij. After the 1917 revolution it housed young offenders, and only in 1991, returned to the territory of the ROC. Now she even brought under the protection of UNESCO. ? century, traveled to Georgia, Persia, now kept in the Montenegrin monastery in the Arkhangelsk region). In 1992, the restorer of St. Petersburg has restored this icon, and guides as they say, for the 2 weeks that he worked on the miraculous shrine - he came to faith. The artist refused to pay for their work (and it is about 10 000 ye) and now takes a year for the restoration of this temple on one icon. This now rare in our time altruism. Note the uncharacteristic for Orthodox architecture, mechanical watches under the dome of the bell tower. Perhaps, this cathedral - one of the most unusual places in the light of the August crisis in Caucasus. His outstanding and interior painting of the temple, restored the St. Petersburg artists. The very same image favors the people of art, so you can meet here regularly known Russian artists. In addition, it is believed that the miraculous icon helps in gynecological diseases. In general, a suitable place for the landscape arhitektorsh with bad microflora. ? The second remarkable monastery - miniature Sofia church. Built in the late ? century, it is awarded for the smallest church in Europe (personally I doubt this fact). Prayer was spending only the monks, and even they can come here only once a year - the day of the holy mother, Sophia and her daughters, Faith, Hope and Love (30 September). ? The territory of the monastery is replete with various clumsy monuments and kitsch sculptures. Looks are not super, but funny. Thus, the lake, just outside the walls of the monastery is remarkably colorful stone frog. In the polka-dot dress, with brightly painted, as if to kiss her lips. Moreover, absolutely dumb frog. Replicable guides legend says that long ago hard frogs were croaking in the lake prevented the monks pray. Those prayed about it, and frogs croak stopped. Curious French scientists have tried to find out what kind of wah nekvakayuschie such, may form a special - brought to speak the common, so they too were silent. Is that true or not - witness: in October, there was no trace of amphibians. The second legend is also about waterfowl - a beaver. Near the monastery in the Volga-Kama Reserve beavers settled. It turned out that all the "family" beavers live on the other side of the lake from the monastery, and unmarried - near the monastery. Scientists say that these beavers in the world no longer. ? The third common legend, so far not received a canonical presentation - about the post-Soviet akvatselitele Alan Chumak. They say someone wanted to visit the abode of the magician was not able to pass through the gates. Some unknown force would not let him. In a particularly orthodox version of the legend lzhetselitelya even after three attempts was taken to accident and was hospitalized. In contrast, Chumak, here were able to pass other odious personality: here was married to his wife's former chief tax collector Alexander Pochinok (rumored to be prayed for improving tax collection), bathed in the lake, Boris Yeltsin, prayed A. Pugacheva. Were also in the monastery Berezovsky, Zyuganov (!), Anatoly Chubais, H. Boos (baptized in the lake in winter), Rushailo, I. Kobzon, O. Gazmanov, V. Leontiev, A. Kalyagin (married and was baptized), S. Govorukhin YU.SHevchuk and many others. For those guests at the entrance as a separate ? -parking with a flagpole. ? Famous for the monastery and its proprietary fire brigade. One winter, then burned willow, a fire truck from the city reaching out for 40 minutes. After that, monks are not just burning house thinking. Now here's villagers in the fire ... call to the monastery. He travels to meet the occasion to call a machine with a flasher and a huge inscription "Raif monastery. With God, as they say, help! ? The monastery is very well maintained. In the flower beds at the cemetery and painty temple walls, drew the attention ?????±?????‚???°?? Sofa Hotel Dom pilgrim "is most like a mini-spa hotel on the shores of Lake Raifa. In cells mysteriously flicker computers: operating the local computer network. Blood and lean Swedish table is feasible paid labor for the benefit of the monastery. Well, just to satisfy his hunger, you can easily - in a nearby cafe. There and chak-chak, and coffee with milk. Full Sabantui! Formerly a convent to sell its branded bread products in the house with a kindly sign "Hlebushek", but has recently removed all the bread - you have to be content Zelenodolsk baking in polyethylene. ? Buildings in the baroque and bizarre monuments - not important in Raif. Here is a great nature - view of the lake, clean air reserve, birds, little animals (visual aids on the surrounding flora and fauna is on posters at the lake), structured chimes and namolennaya water from a well-chapel (but for more than a 10-liter water intake Be ready to leave the fee - prices on the wall!). In the cathedral, in a candle shop, offering the same water for 35 rubles. a bottle with a label zapatentovannnoy ? "Raifa source". ? . Buy. In the picturesque overwater chapel, in which you find yourself on a special pontoon, is the sacrament of baptism, though in normal times, but rather serves as a park gazebo overlooking. At the very same baptism, by the way, on the lake you can see dozens of ice sculptures on biblical themes. I think it's great - come to Raif on Epiphany, to plunge into the hole in the shape of a cross with a view of some shining Judah, stopping overnight at the five-star "House of Pilgrim's snow-removal efforts for the symbolic ... ? Very nice view of the monastery called him from the opposite shore of the lake Raifa, where supposedly live only "family" beavers, but there we Vasilisa, unfortunately, did not reach ... Nevertheless, we spent a wonderful day surrounded by 300 year old pines, dazzling gold of autumn and floating away in the southern hemisphere sun. No worse than the Red Sea. ? CITY Millennium Dragon, Keep SOVEREIGNTY ? Many historians and historians had not yet reached a consensus as to the true age of Kazan, the capital of the Tatars of the world. Versions differ on the age of four. For e ? If follow traditional principles of dating, when the time of founding of the city shall be the date of its first mention in written sources, that Kazan was founded no earlier than the XIV century. ? Nevertheless, the official Millennium behalf of the Czech Republic found a coin, dated to about 930 a year, is celebrated with great pomp in 2005. Of course, this more than a round figure of many city attractions retouched, mastered wasteland and updated facades along the routes of official delegations. Not bad would happen and a monument to the ill-fated coin set. ? It is clear that Moscow and Kazan old scores. ? In 1552 an outpost of the Golden Horde Bulgar was conquered by Ivan the Terrible, and the Kazan Khanate was annexed to Russia. Next was the province of Kazan, the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, the Republic of Tatarstan, which threatened in the early 90's sovereignty ... Just look at the emblems of the city of Moscow and Kazan: George v. ? Zilant - snake-dragon, the symbol of Kazan! One legend about the origin of the town said that Kazan was built where it landed analog dragon (it was on the hill where now stands the rebuilt anew female Zilantov monastery). Funny also that Zilant can be seen on the coats of arms is not only the Tatar cities, but also Kashira near Moscow! ? Ambitions in Kazan, no less than in Moscow. In his own white-stone Kremlin on the banks of the river Kazanka the seat of government of the republic, headed by President Shaimiev. Signs and flags on the towers indicate that he is not protected by the SSF, but - UNESCO. In addition, as in any respected the Kremlin, there has its Spassky tower. With these chimes. The ensemble of the Kremlin - ekletichnoe pandemonium minarets of old and new, orthodox makovok, state flags, and Stalin's five-pointed stars. The original mosque Kul-Sharif was ? burned by the troops of Ivan the Terrible in the capture of Kazan. In 1996 tyasyacheletiyu the city began its recovery in the image of the destroyed many years ago, Al-Kabir in Bulgar - a symbol of Islam of the Volga. Now in the Kul-Sharif entrance only shoe covers (5 USD), allowed guests to inspect interiors up the spiral staircase inside runs a small museum of Islam. ? Kazan - a Tatar branch of Pisa. Here, too, has its own showered tower. Syuyumbike - queen of Kazan, Nogai Murzas daughter and wife of the last three kings of Kazan (as it is understood?). Legend has it that partial to the ladies Ivan the Terrible suggested that the queen's hand and the heart (ie, the fourth marriage?), But willful Syuyumbike rejected the king and his hand and heart. It was then angered by the king and outfitted the famous march to Atlanta ended a successful capture of the town. Then Syuyumbike supposedly agreed to go down the aisle, but with the proviso that, as a wedding gift by the king for 7 days in Kazan to build the highest tower. The tower was hastily constructed (put in the day on stage), began the wedding feast. Syuyumbike asked permission to go upstairs, to survey his home town and say goodbye to the townspeople. Unable to either submit the Terrible, or say goodbye to his native city - soon from a height 58 meters queen flew down. Today the tower bends down to his princess - the slope from the vertical is 1,8 m (in Pisa - 4,5 m). By the way, the tower Syuyumbike is the prototype of the building of the Kazan station in Moscow. ? Having been in Kazan, we can not ignore ? list of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God - one of the most revered icons in the Russian Church, which is stored in the Kazan Mother of God Monastery in five minutes' walk from the Kremlin. In honor of this icon of Kazan cathedral was built in St. Petersburg. As often happens, the original miraculous icon disappeared mysteriously in 1904, and in the 2004th year, diplomats from the Vatican gave Alexy ? list of unknown origin, which was placed in the church of the Virgin Exaltation of the Cross Monastery. ? Kazan Arbat - street Bauman. As it spread out a lot of fountains, iron fotokareta, casino, cafe and restaurants of national cuisine. It is located 62-meter bell tower of the church of the Epiphany in the pseudo-Russian style - the Kazan response Notrdamu, as well as colorful and Paul Cathedral ( ? c) with a charming evening lights. In the center of Kazan touching signs of shops with a rare Russian letters as "b" - in the end. It seems that you have to walk on some retro-town. In addition to "b" caught the eye of the characteristic signs "Fatiha. Salon Islamic dress "or" Salam. Wholesale and retail Islamic shop ", as well as messages such as" In the shop at work should be a Muslim woman "(direct, incidentally, is a violation of the LC RF!). ? The town's name ( "cauldron" - "pot") corresponds to the rhythm of the bustling life of the cities. ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ? . ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ? You ? , ? , ?  ? . ?  links tory4 link story 6 of toourim link stoty2 likn story5 lin, story1 link stoty4 link story 6 of in clusie link stiry3 link story5 lijk story2 linkk story5 link stoy1 link stoty4 link story1 lnk story4 link story 66 of carnivl link tory 6 of vacatin link stor4 link stoey5 pink story1 linkstory 6 of inclusie lin story3 link stoory2 link story of grandcayman islanq linj story4 link stor y1 story of ca ribben li nk story1 link sstory2 link stor2 link ctory1 link stry1 link story5 lijk story4 syory of tropicl oink story1 link storj1 link story 6 of island maps of triinidad tobao link stody4 link stor link stoey4 link etory2 link sory2 link stoory2 lin k story4 li nk story4 link stoory2

4 star hotel barcelona Story about a trip to Vietnam, Phan Thiet. The place where you want to return.






4 star hotel barcelona
It was in November 2008. Hotels ? though 3 stars, but very decent. Green area. Beach clean. Berths all missing. Staff friendly. Breakfasts monotonous, but did not go hungry. In the evening various restaurants, a wide selection of seafood. From exotic-turtle (tasty), snake (rubber), crocodile (tasty), frogs (as himself). Very tasty fried rice, not when I did not think that I eat rice with such pleasure, even forgot about the main dish. All very, very expensive dinner at 1 of about 500 rubles. The best restaurant in front of our hotel. But it is expensive. Try necessarily iced coffee. In general, Vietnamese coffee the other, sorry that we did not sell. As in Thailand - massazh.V hotel slightly more expensive than on the street, but the quality is better. Very good massage with Aloe 250?????± (a huge sheet of scarlet pulp mill, and this rubbing, I recommend that after burning), foot-massage in Thailand is better, massage, 4 hands - is nonsense, do not waste your money, do not know how. The beach massage is a tent, not a towel on the sand, as in Thailand. Just want to warn - the children should not go. The sea constantly surf wave. Swim only to those who can not brave (he should dive under the wave of surf). The rest recommend immediately on arrival to buy spets.doski (small about 40h80sm) near 200rub (car 1doll per hour). They are very good to ride on the waves. And at the end of holiday you may sell it brand new. Roughly opposite the hotel Bambo Viladzh a shop-atelier. There you can buy silk bedding for 80doll, order 40doll pajamas, robe. Dress, do not order, do not sew what the picture. Trips - take everything. Each is good in its own way. Very interesting in g.Dalat, despite Suomeksi the road - will be satisfied. It's worth it. Paintings silk is in Dalat. Good quality, good frame, but heavy. In Saigon in the market, without a framework and worse, but cheaper and easier. There also will take all the souvenirs. But beware, if a foreigner, some jacking up prices. Walk the entire market. Haggle. Phan Thiet in the market do not go - a nightmare, worse than the Chinese with us. Supermarkets as we are not there. There are minor in Saigon, Phan Thiet in total 1. Be sure to stay in Saigon for a couple of days. All have gone on a tour of Mikonga go into stores and go. Sportswear-known brands at very affordable prices (krosovki adidas 1500?????±). Big store sport.odezhdy I did not find, but there are small. The hotel is better to take in the center. There is where the walk. On the outskirts have to go to the center by taxi, there is not a walk. Puppet on the water - very unusual. Almost forgot, be sure to buy them from hondrosa balms. Any, and nearly all the same. But on a trip in Mikonga in Saigon is the ointment with snake venom, take the package will not regret it! and MUST ointment on the basis of fat snake. Wounds heals almost instantly - checked!

4 star florence hotels
Good. A good photo essay. We were in Port Aventura in August 2008. In contrast to the month of May was a crowd of people queue for all attractions of 30-40 minutes, some had to stand from 1 to 2 hours. But we are not too bothered - impressions left by themselves attractions. We were three of us - myself, husband and son for 13 years. The feeling was that all of us in 13 years. We, as children enjoyed everything going on around. This was our second visit to this amusement park. Previously, we in 2006 it visited, but then managed to visit, not all rides. At the same time and we obeyed and the Dragon The roller coaster had been passed. Spirit is not enough merely to the tower free fall.

4 free airline tickets Story about a trip to Russia, Moscow. Tips Moscow guests






4 free airline tickets
- The city is extremely difficult to perceive, especially if the time for sightseeing received less than a month. They bring it to St. Petersburg, the capital of a truly immense on the number of museums and other facilities which attracts attention of tourists. Well, when you go to a specific purpose: to visit one or another museum, theater, etc. Even better, if in the capital, you are greeted by friends or relatives willing to spend their free time, accompanying you, of course, if they are well represented, what and how you can see. I accidentally made the reservation - there is a huge number of Muscovites who live on the outskirts of the city and having the historical center of a very vague idea. And, if you soon in Moscow alone, so even a short time, let me offer you a small overview of sites that might interest the amateur urban tourism. ? The first difficulties are encountered an independent traveler in Moscow - transport. Impudent taksomafiya simply "burning" desire "to put on" the unsuspecting visitor. Do not get to the difficult trick, so my advice: ? Do not take a taxi to the airport and train station! ? Well, unless, of course, you still manage your account more of their money. Since each airport is easier, go easy on the express to the station, and from there - anywhere in the urban passenger transport. In the extreme case, do not take the car directly at the station, and walk away for a couple of quarters - the price will be cheaper by 2-3 times. It is desirable to provide a well on the map where you are and where want to go. Hence the following advice: Download the map of Moscow and study it in advance! Muscovites know how a few words to show that they know the city better driver and breed them in Loja - waste of time. Well, as long as, you are in Moscow for the first time, you Survive a certain loss of time and - in the subway. ? The problem can be input, since during the mass arrival of trains and electric trains to the booths Huge queues. There's no hurry? - So simple! But, if you really feel like standing in the crush, there is an alternative way to go: on land transport. Often convenient option ? train, because you're already at the station. Also electric Moscow begin to move before the opening of the metro, and finish later. In the area of three stations you can go to almost any part of Moscow. Kazan area covers the east (Lefortovo Vykhino, Koshino), Leningrad - north (Ostankino, Khovrino, Khimki), Yaroslavl - north (Rostokino, Sviblovo, Babushkino). In addition to the Leningrad Station is platform Kalanchevskaya - a major interchange node, which can leave the Byelorussian - West (Tver, Fili, Kuntsevo) Savelovsky - North (Dmitrovka Degunino, Beskudnikovo), Kursk - the south (Lublin, Tsarina, Butovo) , Riga - West (Shchukin, Tushino) directions. The downside is that the train go infrequently, you must be familiar schedule (a suitable site: www.tutu.ru) and a good understanding of where you go, as the platforms are often in the industrial area, away from residential development. ? The second option - land transport. He has the same disadvantages that trains, in addition, you risk, if not early morning or weekend, to be held in a traffic jam as long as it took the whole road to Moscow. In the case of the weekend, the best excursions to Moscow for a purely nominal fee is difficult to wish for. I beg your familiar with land transport routes, linking them with the card! ? The third option - if you're on the road not too tired like to travel light, you will not You break in a crowded railway station underground, and armed with maps ? walk to another station. I myself am doing just that, going from an area of three stations to the quiet and unclaimed station "Red Gate" (15 min walk). A better dogulyat to Epiphany Cathedral (Metro station Baumanskaya, 30 min walk) to Ryazanskaya Street, starting just behind the Kazan railway station. ? This is one of the best routes for hiking, so describe it in greater detail: ? In the area of three stations, circling Kazan, you will get on Novoryazanskoye street. In the distance, if not dead of night and fog, you'll see the golden dome - is the Cathedral of the Epiphany in Elohove, the purpose of our journey. Novoryazanskaya very little interest, until, while do not go to Razgulyai. This street is not on the map, but every Muscovite is a familiar name. Previously, there was a square with the official taverns, hence the name. Here, almost every house - a legend and each farmstead - a masterpiece! A fire in 1812 did not touch the area and now you can admire the urban development ? Moscow at the end 18b .. "All the noble families, the need for settling in the vicinity of the palace" (Zabelin), who was in Lefortovo. Because here a grand manor: Count Razumovsky, the breeder Demidova, adventurer and bibliophile Musin-Pushkin (the discoverer of the "Lay"), etc. .. The house number 36 on the Old Basman Pushkin was born and was baptized at Epiphany Cathedral. Pay attention to these buildings, but rather simply Peer into the general features of the present Moscow. Be sure to visit ? Epiphany Cathedral - the temple has never been closed and long (before the construction of Christ the Savior-2) the time was patriarchal chair. In Epiphany sang the best voices of opera, including MI Kozlovsky. Having seen and, if lucky, having heard, you can go down to the metro station "Baumanskaya, and if not tired, then walk down the Basmanny streets and at the end of the path to reach the metro station" Red Gate ". At the very end of walks at the monument to M. Lermontov is a small temple built on the sketch of Peter the 1 st. And never hesitate to ask Muscovites everything you need! I venture to assure: the majority of Moscow residents are friendly and intelligent. Determine Muscovite You can leisurely and imposing pohodochke, among hurry and bustle of the crowd. By the way, despite the slowness and the air of detachment, Muscovite never no one faces and no one interferes in the street, why - and who knows? ? So, whatever way you choose, all the same way you end up at the turnstile of public transport. Here we want to explain that in Moscow, all ground transportation is equipped with turnstiles at the entrance of the magnetic card. In the subway, these contactless cards, you simply attach a map to the circle of the right side of the machine and to go through if you turn on the green light. In the train to pass on to the platform insert the ticket bar code up in the turnstile slot, and either turn the bar, or go to the opened door. Try to place next to the reception desk - at the very least it will help you. ? More difficult to land transport: first buy a transportation card at the bus stop is not easy, and secondly - there is no one to explain how to use it. If you shop on sale of cards is, then prikinte on how many visits you expect. The more of them on one card, the cheaper! If you come for a couple of days, it would be enough for 20 trips, if for a week - 40-ka. Best price - 60 trips per month (one card can simultaneously take place at least 60 people, passing it to each other). Well, if you stand there, you still buy a card from the driver for a price twice as much. The algorithm is simple: enter the front door of the latter (as most ? available), drag the driver money (preferably without having to pass, that on one trip - 25 rubles, p. 2-50. etc.), taking the card, insert it into the printed side facing you and the down arrow in the gap at the top of the turnstile Wait until the machine finds the information and return the card, take it and pass, turning the bar turnstile. It's not as scary as it is written ... ? The next step - stop, be sure to give the driver a signal that are going to go by clicking on the door. I hope you know where or who to come. If not, then I sincerely feel sorry for you! Hotels in Moscow is almost always packed to the eyeballs, so the place is better to book in advance. In the extreme case of contact with service center at the station: there is a small fee you will pick something suitable. General rule: margin cheaper center, and rooms are often better. ? Now that you've settled down and completed the mandatory program, ie visited the Kremlin, Red Square, Tretyakov "haberdashery" Borodino "sawmill" and, for particularly hard-nosed, Lenin's mausoleum, where plenty marveled at the urban development delicacies "Luzhkov Tsereteli & compani" at the Manege Square, sat down exhausted in the Alexander Garden, so that's After all this nightmare, you can ask a legitimate question: "Is that all Moscow?" ... ? - No, it is not Moscow and Moscow has a distant relationship, much like a business card - this is not its owner! If you walk through Razguliay already taken place, you have some idea of Moscow. This is not a city of skyscrapers, skyscrapers, muddy crowded subway, traffic jams on the highways, trade and bustle. The true face of Moscow, which we recently lost and its original inhabitants, of whom little is left, compared with a total population of the city, lives in the bird-cherry-lavender gardens Zamoskvorechye, in the hilly and winding, transmitting a true relief, lanes China-town, in the shady alleys of the Boulevard Ring in Moscow courtyard scattered throughout the city and the melting with each passing day. The only time when Moscow can walk safely, it's Sunday morning of the day. Only then can hear over the roar of engines birds, stubbornly unwilling to leave the main streets and breathe not particularly clean, but air, but not a mixture of dust and blown petrol. ? Running along the China-town. It begins just outside Red Square, or rather behind the GUM. Its boundaries delineated Theater Lane, Okhotniy close to Lubyanka Square, and then new and old ploschadmi to Solianke and Varvarka. Near this area many stations, Metro: Lubyanka, Theater, pl.Revolyutsii, Okhotny series, China Town. I advise you to leave the station pl.Revolyutsii - Theatrical (total output), and appreciated the beauty of the balance of the walls of China-town, up to move on Nikolskaya Street, and then go through it, getting into passing lanes, leading to a parallel Ilinka, and also turning off all the entrances and passageways on the other hand, leading to the back streets and walls. In China, there is no city estates, it is not residential, and downtown, is only to draw attention to the building: Commercial and Living series, Exchange. Oases of spiritual life - Orthodox Monastery (in Epiphany Lane) and Zaikonospassky (at Nikolskaya, the entrance to the arch of a dwelling house, there is a pointer). In the monasteries well preserved buildings and, besides, they are glorious history! In Zaikonospassky opened Russia's first academy, the so-called Greco-Slavic-Latin, means graduates were the first Russian academician of Russia Academy of Sciences V. Trediakovskii, and M. Lomonosov, and author of the first textbook of mathematics in Russia A. Magnitskii, and many other prominent scientists. Abbot of the monastery of the Epiphany in 14c. a brother sv.prep.Sergiya Radonezhskogo - Stefan. I think that if not for the support brother, close to a princely family, the St. Sergius is unlikely to become famous throughout Muscovy with its modest desert (Trinity-Sergius Lavra). Unusually decision the Church of St.. Prophet Elijah on Ilyinke - it is embedded in an ordinary house, and entrance to it can not be distinguished from the entrance to the entrance. ? At the corner of St. Nicholas Street and the building of the New Square Printing Place. At this point, and the workshop was the first printer Ivan Fyodorov of Moscow, where he and a companion, Peter Mstislavltsem, started their own, are not valued the works of his contemporaries. Not much known information: Ivan Fedorov was born Ruthenian (Ukrainian), as indicated by the emblem, which is placed in his publications - he belongs to the famous old Ragozov (known Michael Ragozov - Metropolitan of Kiev, which adopted the union). Peter Mstislavlets (from the city Mstislavl, Belarus) was a pupil might first printer Russian Skorina. ? Turning to the Moscow River in the Metro Kitai-Gorod, you can see another piece of Kitajgorodskoj wall. Here begins the area, called the charge, now converted into a huge construction site on the site of the demolished hotel "Russia". It is better to pass on higher construction ul.Varvarka, which bears several churches, including the just as beautiful inside as he is not interested in outside the cathedral Znamensky monastery. Before him delirious construction of a pseudo-Russian style - the result of representations of the early 20 th century on the ancient Russian - Museum Boyarsky Chamber. If time allows, be sure to visit it, its cellars original 16-17vv. Varvarka ends the museum "House of the English company" - is the original chamber 16B., Exposure is small, but rather comprehensive. ? Now you can go to Red Square, by Vasilevsky descent, or go to the Big Moskvoretsky bridge in Zamoskvorechie - an area inhabited by trading in China-town. However, before such an ambitious walk will not be superfluous to dinner somewhere. ? Where to eat. This raises another problem and not just for visitors, but for Muscovites, caught away from home feeling of hunger. Of course, with different kinds of businesses catering business in the capital situation pretty well, especially in the center: they are all full of all tastes. The problem is, how can withstand your wallet? No, if your name: Potanin and Deripaska, you can safely skip the further description, while the rest will try to summarize some of the rules. ? The most expensive restaurants, whose doors are lined with samples of bank cards accepted for payment, so if you limit the amount you're willing to spend on one person does not exceed 500 rub, it is best to ignore this kind of restaurant. Also quite expensive all kinds of "national" cafes and so on.: The situation in the Caucasus (Ukrainian, Italian, ...) style will have big pay. Most democratic in the center of the enterprise "Fast-food": all kinds of McDonald's, Rostiks, Cicco-houses, where food is not prepared to order. It's not uncommon to meet rubles 300-400. It should carefully evaluate the menu: often in such establishments prices are not a portion, as well as 100 grams of the product! Major shopping centers, these cafes occupy, as a rule, an entire floor that some of the diverse cuisines and you can choose to everyones taste. Other zucchini can be as insanely expensive, and acceptable in the ratio of price-quality ratio. Verify can only be experienced through, after referring to the price list. Personally, I came across and snacks in style "a la the scoop," where for 200 rubles cutlets can eat and drink disgusting vodka, and a very respectable restaurants, in which light lunch with beer for 300?°. Especially expensive cafes in museums and estates. The cheapest option - a cafe at gas stations and car washes, where you can dine for 100?° food, heated in a microwave oven and a glass of beer or a Coke for a price not differing from the shop! These places are not located in the center, but on the outskirts, near the Third Ring Road. ? From food material move on to the spiritual. ? Zamoskvorechie - a considerable area, heavily rebuilt, with an abundance of every kind and time samples of the ordinary architecture. It can be seen and a wooden merchant's mansion, and tenement houses 19-20 centuries, and the first buildings of the Soviet period in the style of constructivism. There exists only the manor - not settled here nobles. In Zamoskvorechie located and the famous Tretyakov Gallery, because Tretyakov brothers were merchants. ? Of the many different churches, in my opinion, the interest in the church sv.Klimenta Klimentevskom Lane: great baroque church, with lots of decoration, and the Cathedral of the Protection of Martha and Mary's Convent in Grand Ordynka: the fruit of unbridled fantasy of the ancient Russian motifs are not the best of bravery Architects early 20 century. ? In Zamoskvorechie, as well as in China-town, is just walking through the streets and alleys, discovering old and very lively so far the area. But if the forces on walks no longer exists, then sit here on the tram "A" (you and 3 and 39) and go on tour. Just remember the traffic jams during the week: Tour can be somewhat delayed! ? Route "A" good because it passes around the center of the metro station "Pure ponds" Boulevard Ring, the mouth Yauza, then through Zamoskvorechie, retainers, Pinch (it's an old working-class suburbs of Moscow) to a neighbor near Moscow Danilov monasteries and Don, where you can out and walk around the monastery grounds. I advise to always drive the whole route - the best trips is difficult to imagine. ? More than once I had to fulfill the long cherished desire of my guests who came briefly to Moscow, to show them some old Russian monastery. Of particular interest is the guest of Zauralski places where not that monastery, the church one afternoon with fire not find! (See "Roads of Southern Trans-Urals). Doubt what Owned monastery show, do not ever arise: of course ? Trinity-Sergius Lavra! Laurus is located very close to Moscow, it is easy to reach, beautiful scenic surroundings, the old town in the neighborhood, and probably the most impressive with its scope, wealth and glory of the monastery in Russia! Always try to carve out a day for a trip to the Trinity - the impression I can promise you. ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?  stoey of cruie stroy of trp ,ink story4 story of iskad /ink story3 link stor linj story3 link story 2 linl story3 link stor y4 story of arifae link sfory5 link syory4 link story 3 lnik story 6 of beah link stoory 6 of vacatin story of eoyl link story 3 link sttory 6 of islad the link story2 li nk story2 link stoory3 link story link story laayout carnival gloy link stor link xtory2 lin k story3 story o fvacatin

3day cruises to the bahamas Story about a trip to Australia, Cairns. Cairns Crocodile Farm






3day cruises to the bahamas
In Cairns we flew early in the morning. Nestled in the hotel, went to the wharf and boarded a boat and went to the Habitat Cruise Tour. From the bay we were carried through, overgrown with mangroves. Very meditative tour gets - you sit and contemplate the beautiful views, there's even a translator is not needed, and without words is clear. In the channels of live wild crocodiles - each are registered in a special service that monitors the population and to ensure that crocodiles do not grow more than 4 meters - or reptiles are becoming too aggressive. Periodically, they say, some crocodile wandered into someone's swimming pool and it becomes the number one local news. At the end of our journey brought us to the crocodile farm, where crocodiles are grown specifically for their skin, then sell the houses of high fashion. A narrow path, fenced grid, you can go and see how in the muddy water will be an eye, then the tail, and then the whole beast entirely. However, not all of this resolved after the jokes our driver. ;ink story2 link storyy 6 of cruie link sto ry1 link story2 ligk story5 link stogy4 link story 6 o f weddig story of cayman ,ink story4 oink story4 link story of uninhabbited islans link story 3 linkk story2 link story of holland and thee caribben story od carnivl link tsory 6 of trinidd link stody2 link storg2 li nk story2 ,ink story1 link story 6of royl link story 3 link story 6 of cay link story 2 lijk story4 pink story4 story of crule lunk story3
