Witty Wedding Reception Telegrams

Mototrip 2010. Santander, the day of the first and second

I eventually got to Spain! On the border of Iberia immediately distinguished herself from the French skies sunny, cloudless blue belt. Santanderu accompanied me to the beautiful Highway A-8, which runs along the same coast, famous for its exceptional scenic views as autobanę. Sam Santander, compared to other coastal Spain resorts, no knocks on my knees. From this Leba, but in a more exotic performance. This is what seduces, that the proximity of mountains and ocean.
Juanlu to a friend arrived around afternoon. Just in time to take a shower, eat something for dinner and go for a walk on the seafront, where already dusk fell. Were it not for strong wind, staring at us left and right, it would be pretty nice. After the walk we went to jointly rented by friends Juanlu industrial space in the huge, post-industrial building. This custom is said in Spain - where you can not play all year round on the beach or on the street, students living with parents hire whole groups (in this case, a group of about 15osobowa) different pomieszczania to give them the shape of the communes, to which each The landlord has the key. This commune is not only a meeting place free from upierdliwych parents, but primarily a place of entertainment such as billiards, arcade games, home theater, or simply chatting over wine. In this very communion zbiorowisku items found, by just three evenings I met about 20 people!
After a successful evening is come przedpołudnie.Wybraliśmy successful in fact, on a short boat trip to Alberta, one of the known last night Juanlu colleagues. Provided with nutritious bocadillos (sandwiches), landed on a nearby island - the beach. The guys played in a grid, and I lay like a corpse, and taste the first day of this expedition on the beach. And so ended the second day, until the next evening spent in a commune in the company of new friends and a English wine for 2 euro;)

Back Alberto, captain of the ship, boat - Fernando and Juanlu

Black River Ramps For Sale Uk

Mototrip 2010, Metastasis of central France, that is, Auvergne and Massif Central rulez.

Objective: Levignac de Guyenne near Bordeaux. There lives a cousin of my father, half Dominikanka, half Polish girl, her husband, half English, half French, and their children, several explosive mixtures nation! From Antwerp was heading towards Clermont-Ferrand, but to hook the famous Massif Central, the green heart of France. According to the guidebooks to discover the real France is a must to go here, especially the volcanic Auvergne.
But for the moment I was waiting rather tedious landówkami French route, which is fighting marks, because what is there to not conceal, a mistake on the route is not difficult! I always pandering to the fact that I drive only carried a map, but in France more than once regretted the absence of GPS. Another obstacle on the route have been immense, empty, agricultural spaces within about 150 km from Paris, which not only tormented her constantly boring, deserted landscapes, but also worried they may face less and less petrol stations along the way, especially those on which you can pay cash or credit card, but no credit. With my Baku sufficient only to 300 km, such voids can really cause troubles.

Agricultural wildness at the height of Paris

The only interesting thing on the section to Auxerre, where I slept on one of two campgrounds throughout its journey, the British turned out to be met in a gas station, who returned or elected to rally their favorite oldtimers (which, I do not know the exact number, I know only that it was very beautiful;) and the quirky, straw ad-scarers, positioned somewhere along the way in utter desolation.

Fortunately now at the height of Paris on his way from Antwerp weather improved considerably with the overcast and slightly rainy to sunny and noticeably warmer. Around 8 o'clock already started looking for camping, however, strongly preferred to ride Auxerre and look for something outside of town, because the experience taught knew how big the difference in price can be achieved only looking for a piece of the city. And indeed, I found a lovely camping by the river under the bridge, where it is true arrays reported that in the event of flood alarm should jump on the highest point of leaving the entire property, which makes me a little bit scared, because without the engine and luggage are not ostałoby me anything else, but generally modest camping has left good impression on me. Cheap (a whole seven euros for a tent and a vehicle), quiet, French themselves, playing in the evening and a lovely lawn bowls in the pan use, which flooded me with a smile, Knorr soups;)

The next day I flew already in Clermont-Ferrand. How many had read about the volcanic land of Auvergne! Though I wanted to lick the heart of France, before I get to the family in Bordeaux. I had only one day possible to get close to the Auvergne, Clermont-Ferrand travel and reach the Levignacu. The route apparently not so impressive, with perhaps 500 km, but just to break through Clermont-Ferrand, took a good hour, and even the way more and more captivating hope to stop a pee, fota or sandwich.

Hilly, green pastures of Central France

Wayside blackberries - the first fruits of this trip and it's Free! ;)

Sam Auvergne, both from afar and up close proved to be extremely tempting. Were it not for time constraints (the family was waiting and the impatient), preferably in the middle wjechałabym volcanic land there and spent a good two days. But I promised myself that I'll be back there yet, maybe without an engine, what would you be able to freely podreptać the volcanoes. But I still have a little pity that what is inside the external owalką tops ....

Levignacu I got to about the 22nd A little heart was still on the road, minor misunderstanding with a closed barrier, which as it turned out, it's broken and closed the whole time;), but in the end after many hours I got the route to the family, which I have not seen good 8 years. Take the time flew, but one thing remains unchanged - Damian, a cousin of my father, as always smiling and in a good mood!

Online Weekly Certification

Mototrip 2010. Antwerp in a nutshell.

In Belgium, is worth a stop for several reasons: for beer, to Bruges, the famous "Belgian waffles (Belgian waffles with chocolate), and no alternative, as anyone along the way, in Antwerp) just pulled me there, buddy elucidated in Wroclaw, which necessarily would entertain me their area. I'm very happy that I got to Antwerp as a result, because how short stay was full of pretty good impression.
U Kristof made oneself comfortable around noon, and since I intended to leave the very next morning, time to explore it was not too much. We threw so my still wet clothes in the dryer and after a short flight meal we jumped on our bikes, which, as in the entire Benelux, are the most popular means of communication. In just two hours I could no longer be regarded as zwiedzoną Antwerp ;)





Antwerp Cycling


second only to Rotterdam, a port city in Europe

main station in Antwerp

Something I have no inspiration today, but what can be regarded as the most interesting in Antwerp is by far the old town and the main train station, the beautiful, restored, doing a great impression, especially in the middle. Rarely seen in the end czteropiętrowe platforms) But it's not decided on the sights of Antwerp to its attractiveness, and the evening I spent with Kristof's farewell party for a friend who just had to go on a scholarship to Italy. Adoption decorated in exactly that style, which I imagined the event, which will no longer arrange their own home: a party in the living room and terrace - in the garden, half covered, lanterns suspended on the trees bear fruit, long table at which the elders sit, and high bar tables, at which beer żlopią younger and attention! original, wooden boat, set on the lawn, filled halfway with water, which cools the delicious Belgian browarki. Miracle of Honey and Raspberry. And in this climate we played all together, from our grandparents' generation, after several years olds, are chatting in English, a little German, and no Polish, but that's just me and my friend, who did not go beyond basic phrases such "I like it;)
We came back home in a very good mood, especially me, delighted with new friendships and good beligjskiego liter of beer. But time was pressing, and regretfully said goodbye to Antwerp in the very next morning.

Rubens left, right you do not remember who;)

What Should I Write In An Acceptance Card

Mototrip 2010. Amsterdam, the next few days

Amsterdam? He was to be one day, top two. As fate would have it done with the four days, first because of the weather, then because of szwankującej dryer, which supposedly was drying my clothes, and consequently left them just as wet as before drying. Legends of Amsterdam, everyone knows that freedom, the backlash that drugs, alcohol, gays and whores. And the amount is so little. Staying in Amsterdam started by walking around downtown with my girlfriend, and the first stop was the park and activity bonus, or sipping port. And then I thought what a comfort to sit on a bench, sip wine, watch the people, not having the sense that each person passing you dangerously measured eye and curses to himself, just for the mere fact of drinking alcohol. Not to mention other Drugs ...

idyll and grazing on grass


The city itself makes a very cozy feeling, maybe after 3 hours city tour'u tad schizophrenic, because the streets quite similar to each other, and even buildings architecturally protruding from the other is a little, and suddenly all the streets merge into one, as in "Cinnamon Shops" Schulz. But the walks are nice, especially after visiting numerous coffee shops and drank several cups of coffee, ofkors;) Apparently the Dutch native of Amsterdam flee, because they are too loud and as dirty, and you can actually see the here and now brudek familiar, but it only helps us Poles feel at home;)) is also full of Amsterze przecudacznych pubs, shops and other manifestations of his stay abroad nomads who migrated to Holland in search of work sometimes, sometimes it's an adventure, but in another breath underground. Because this is also in Amsterdam, the capital cursed underground. The mini-scale, because the maxi found in Berlin, London or Barcelona.

After a few days idling and waiting for better weather, I went from Hania to Leiden, where he worked as a teacher currently in the Netherlands. We had a look at the Dutch coast, but the sea as the sea, not tumbled me away, especially when you already tasted of the ocean. Poprzewalałyśmy in the sand as the whale washed up on shore and we returned back to Amsteru. The next day, after an exchange of hugs, thanks and left the wanton buziaczków Amsterdam, the Netherlands, with all its delightful idyll ...

Brown Discharge With Nausea

Mototrip 2010. Hamburg - Zwolle, the third day

So the most rainy day throughout my journey. It is true that jacket Modeki Virginia held the Lady pretty good, but light trousers ACERBIS already terribly ... I cho Æ like them very much, it's not that they -travel destination in the rain. Generally, the route was an exceptional weather hardcore. Regular medium intensity rain on everyone is able to somehow znieś ć, but it was not a regular rain of medium intensity. If someone had asked me to inform each associations that arise to me after this episode, I would say that it is rather looked like the sky over Northern Germany was on certain sections of the holes, because the frequency of downpours still had never seen. Every time I drove by tearing off the clouds, it turned out that, unfortunately, caught up yet another storm. I did the four stops, just to give Æ another storm a little time, so she gave me away C. But sooner or later they had to distance traveled C for its "epicenter" "Eye" or as the name of the devil
C. After some time I have ceased to depend ć, combining for nothing seemed, and so I was completely soaked. My feet were swimming in the water, and his hands look rather like cauliflower or a sharpei puppy. Well, that although the camera and documents safely inside, waterproof jacket pocket.


From the left: stop, stop, Zwolle

Regarding scenic attractions, well, generally it's lost interest in my views, but the regions are experti Æ familiarly enjoyable. Lots of rings for horses, fields of sunflowers, low buildings, almost barracks, red brick. Very green and very ludziów. For the first time I had the opportunity to visit Æ The Netherlands and was in severe shock. Areas near the border of the German: fairy tale, utopian beautiful! Enters as the lost paradise, where all the sports grow, the drivers drive slow, houses look like gingerbread, and the grass is as green as overclocked in photoshop. For Zwolle arrived exhausted and happy as hell and dried wygrzałam in his love;)

Miscellaneous Facts Of Triple X Syndrome

Mototrip 2010, Hamburg, the day of the first and second

from Boleslawiec I left around 11.30, on the way by buying more 4gigową card into the camera (a win for the relationship of motorcycle for the National Geographic Traveler'a;) and wagon pipes to a beloved in the Netherlands. For the homie from college in Hamburg, could I reached around 22nd Cruising, around 95 km / h, a painful lesson after France 2010 - do not ride too fast! Leszek April of K + K Bikes advised even before you go to check whether the label or some farbką max and min manetce to always control turnover.
to Hamburg I got mega wasted, because after dinner, and pogaduchach winku, padłyśmy to express with my girlfriend. The Tour rance, which according to my expectations turned out to be delightful. Huge loft, harbor climate, a lot of water, the old city spread between the channels, all giving the place a unique character of a traditional city hanzatyckiego. In addition, next to Berlin, Hamburg is the second completely "nieniemieckie" Multikulti city, full of strong subcultures and free customs. Evidenced by the even Davidstrasse street, where every meter you can meet the increasingly gruff and vulgar prostitute, "Iron Gate", which kicks lane only for men over 18 years, and the whole district around these objects, where you can visit places of sexual entertainment of various kinds, from cabaret to transvestites in the lead role, the brothels in the shape of the Red Light District Amsterdam. Very entertaining city, a bomb for me;)



Hamburg - hanzatycki climate

Weather in Hamburg, a rather windy and rainy, as advertised paint Taft;) I recommend above all the oldest district of the city, and if necessary to move the ship, which is the same means of transportation such as subway or buses. Must also choose to Fischmarkt, preferably about 5 o'clock in the morning after a party, when the fresh fish sandwich with the best will come;) during the trip, I did not party time, unless a longer stop, but the next day I left town already on the way to Holland, sandwiches poimprezowej unfortunately not had a chance to try it.

Hamburg - a lot of water, lots of night clubs;)
