Mitsubishi Space Star Side

There is the nearest to us consulate. What would like to advise: Be sure to call before you go – there are not visiting days. Documents we have handed over about 15 minutes. A week later came and for even shorter time got all our passports with visas ready. We have not asked a single question. So all those scare Schengen – do not believe.

We set out from Dnepropetrovsk May 9, 3:00 am at our limo called Mitsubishi Space Star. We – my husband, myself, my sister and her friend. I – the driver, her husband – the navigator. Four of them travel more fun and gasoline is not so noticeable. On the road we have not in a hurry, stop to eat and walk. Therefore, to Uzhgorod reached at 18.30, overcome the first 1174 km. In Uzhhorod, spent the night in the hotel Intourist Transcarpathia. Rooms are inexpensive, but excellent condition.

Recommended! In the evening our machine washed and went for a walk around the city. All very nice. Worth a look. Next day (May 10). At 6.40 am, who filled all the way, we drove to the border. The terminal is located right in the city, which is good news. From the Ukrainian side, we were alone! This provoked a stormy, and, of course, premature joy. On the Slovakian side have already been added, turn + shift change time-out. But everything went fine. We do not inspect, nothing more was not asked, stamped the passport, and we went on a first country of our route. All border occupied for 2.5 hours. They say it is not bad at all. Do not forget the lights! Penalties for not included lights are very decent. We, by the way, once the local police were stopped for what was included with the fog near light.

Russian Empire

Polish commanders decided to take possession of Vinnitsa sudden blow and sent here his avant-garde, led by cavalry Lyantskoryanskogo. But the Cossacks were well prepared for defense. Against the order Lyantskoryanskogo Bohun had sent a small cavalry detachment. After a short fight the Cossacks, pretended that they panicked retreat, and lured by the Polish cavalry in the ice hole into which were masked with hay. At this point, the Poles hit out of cannons and guns.

A large part of Polish cavalry, which fell in the hole, went under the ice, and after a determined counterattack forces Bohun was destroyed almost the entire squad Lyantstskoryanskogo. When I heard about the heroic defense of Vinnitsa, Bogdan Khmelnitsky sent to the aid of two regiments of Bohun. After that, the demoralized remnants of the Polish-hlyahedskih troops retreated to the Bar, and then – to Kamenetz-Podolsk. But after the war of liberation Pravvoberezhe remained part of the Bourgeois Poland, and Vinnitsa, together with all Podillya soon fell under the power of the Turkish sultan. More than two decades ruled by the Turkish oppressors here.

During this time the city was heavily damaged and almost completely devastated. When at the end of the XVII century Poland regained Podolia, it appeared that Vinnitsa degrodirovala hleboproizvodstvennyh to the position of the settlements. Only in the second half of XVIII century, it re-acquires the characteristic the city limits. Ongoing, devastating attacks of the Turkish-Tatar invaders and Polish-shlyahedskomu oppression ended in 1793, joining the right bank and left bank of Ukraine to the Russian Empire.

Yves Cousteau

Spacious san-Dec suitable for relaxing holidays. There are two hammocks in which to sleep with pleasant rocking – lulled. (For a more detailed description, see the section, “Boats,” and if you want to go on this boat safari – complete the form.) Now on Dive sites: Safari in the program includes a visit to the reef system of Light House Reef. A key point of this safari is the Blue Hole – one of the most amazing dive sites in Belize. Photos of Blue Hole, made from a helicopter, began calling Card dive sites in Belize for divers worldwide.

In the heart of a coral platform Light House Reef on the background of an emerald sea surface gapes deep blue hole diameter of 400 m and a depth of 145 m. This geological phenomenon was discovered Jacques-Yves Cousteau in 1970. during the expedition on his research vessel “Calypso”. Way “Calypso” in the space above the pool, “Hole” was held over the shallow part of the reef corals of the team and brought a lot of anxiety Cousteau minutes. Today, visitors of this site follow the route laid Commander. Today, the South entrance to the pool, “Holes” use small boats that bring divers from neighboring islands. Whereas the opposite side used for parking safariynyh yachts. Dive in and one in second place …

At a depth of about 40 meters under the peak, hovering over the abyss, one can observe the giant stalactites. There is a feeling that you in the midst of the colonnade of a Gothic cathedral. There are several versions of this natural phenomenon. On one of them, there was a big ancient coral reef. During the Ice Age and the retreat of water coast, it was the sea surface. Then the rains came, protochivshie in the reef limestone caves and formed the failure. Salts of calcium carbonate formed a supersaturated solution of water in the space of the cave and turned to minerals, forming a picturesque stalactites. Over time, the sea level rose, forming what can be seen now. According to another version, Blue Hole was formed as a consequence of the collapse of the ceiling giant underground dry caves space which was flooded by sea. Under the rules existing at the safariynyh sides in Belize, technical diving is “illegal.” Therefore, to find among the stalactites divers is not more than 7 minutes, which is not allows you to fully enjoy the contemplation of the beauties of Blue Hole. Nevertheless, the impressions received even in that short time, strong enough. At the same time, the dive in Blue Hole for trained technical diver presents significant challenges (but is of considerable interest.) Unfortunately, helium is not available in Belize, which limits the level of technical diving outside ER. It is also necessary to remember that boards are no “doubles”, and aluminum cans only have YOKE connectors. Thus, the “amateurs tinkering” gripper “on the spot” – a great space for creativity … In addition to Blue Hole, Light House Reef has many interesting places to dive. This Eagle Landing, Half Moon Wall, Tarpon Cave, Uno Coco, Que Brada, Aquarium, Painted Wall, Abyss West. The dives are mainly run along the steep vertical walls. During virtually nonexistent. Visibility of 30 meters. After the safari on a motor yacht , Legion Club ORCA continued their familiarity with Belize. Our route lay to the border with Guatemala, to the lost jungle haven for travelers’ Jaguar Paw.

Thus, the airport code Uenachi (Wenatchee) in the U.S. state of Washington is the EAT (eat), and Fresno Yosemite International Airport (Fresno Yosemite) is in system as FAT (fat). In this association Perm airport code assigned PEE, and the Brazilian Posusje de Caldas (Pocos de Caldas) – POO. Both words mean in English spravlenie natural needs. Not much luck and the U.S. Airport Butler (Butler) – IATA appointed a code BUM (soft spot). Zoo names separate category – it's name suggests, one way or another connected with the animals. For example, in U.S. airports have the names of Chicken, Fox and Duck (Chicken, Fox, Duck), as well as large Bear (Big Bear).

Oak Tree Tract

But he felt a cold stone. However, in the evening after returning to the hotel, I once compared the feeling in both hands and noted with surprise that my right hand that lay on the dolmen was left a little easier! That it was a real effect or simply self-suggestion, I did not understand. BOUNDARY OAK THREE The next destination – the dolmens at Oak Tree Tract.

These days, one of my moments of reflection, I had a moment of clarity while watching some old memories of friends. Amid the many thoughts of all at the same time, a point hit the door of my room, reserved for that moment of introspection. No, my niece called me to play, after all she did not hit the door, I will go and occupy the space that is yours. The question that bothered me, to merge several others, was: What happened to Joe Melo? "Who is this Manoel de Armando?"
