Can Eu Driving License Get Points?

spell long weekends

Thank God for long weekends. Whether you are at the moment a lot of work, or not completely, overlap with the spring holidays is always uplifting and fills the energy and hope. Grill begins sizzle slowly and you can almost believe that the right is the end of the school and come a long and open to all possibilities to two months holiday. Yeah, well, it does not .. But somewhere beneath the skin stareńkie knocking the habit of faith concerning the coming years. There were such places and times as a child, even as a half passed in July smallpox and lay in home confinement, and so was the bomber. I remember how one year going through a nasty flu and abdominal and could not eat anything good and interesting for two weeks. With verve drew the tomatoes, ham, and my favorite sesame buns, cut out and hung on the wall to my "friends" were with me though this. hehehhe. Ahead of us a long weekend, nice Państwo.Do battle - the magical memories!

Great Wedding Vote Of Thanks

Corrdiliera Real

As with Cordiliera Real is located in the middle of the road from La Paz to Copacabana on Lake Titicaca, combine it in a story that has more than zoorganozowanej haosu and thought of the expedition.
A towering over the city Corrdylierze wiedzilismy to nothing, and plan to go to these wild and basically hard accessible areas began after seeing a photograph bands przepinknego Condorini:))) Asking people here and we organized the expedition uwdzie:))) with a supply of food and forces landed on the total zapupiu where, as it turned out not anything special besides drivin chorendalnie expensive taxis. To the town of Tuni in the mountains we had another 20 km and the taxi drivers refused we had two outputs, or go to the shoe with a full inventory Or wait until whatever will go to the mountains. We chose the first option, which after an hour walk turned into options for the road:))) Well, after waiting some time appeared to native rickety automobile, which provided a relatively cheap access to the mountains. Trreking lasted two days and trza definitely say that this part of Corrdiliery is fantastic. Overnight in the mountains at an altitude of more than 5 thousand. m, okliczne high, snow-capped peaks and the fact that we were the only people here (only herds of llama and alpacas) had my us feel like true pioneers. Overnight at the height spowodowl male health complications, because the temperature fell thickly below zero and our equipment is prepared for a minimum of 5 degrees. Uwiezcie, with coarse August morning we were surprised how stiff ujzelismy our tent on the ice. But apart from that we managed and the effort was rewarded by the experience of racial mountain :))))

the summit too far;)

back to rzezcywistosci turned out to be a lot simpler than it could provide suppose. We caught an old, beat-up Ford and got to the main road with the intention of reaching the present Copacabana. But ........ because there is always a but:))) It turned out that because of the great week she moved to La Paz, the great pilgrimage to Copacabana, which is Calvaria and holy place. It also emerged from this year provided a new pilgrimage route that led through the beautiful island of Titicaca. Podlapalismy idea right away and we went in a pseudo-pilgrimage. Pseudo because the plan was to hitchhike a ride everything and sail boats. The plan was miserable because as it turned out, the route was so constructed in order upupic us in the middle. It came from the fact we went a little and different distance polywalismy boat from island to island ...... but what we nachodzilismy these are our heavy knapsacks. In fact, it was our personal pilgrimage. People on the road sometimes for the first time saw the gringo, and I think we're real pilgrims. The inches we not make life easy, the question whether there is some transport responded in style, "we'll show you the way," you can not go, had to go, "is only 40 km", etc. Milo was now see some of Lake Titicaca completely the other hand, since the parties have not spoiled by mass tourism. przemieszcaja August Hockey which vary from the local motor sailing for rowing. These famous cane, which we all know from TV serve only as attractions for tourists. Already no one uses them in everyday life, because they are not very practical. For us the most pleasant moments were in a rowing boat, where nothing zaklucalo holiness of Lake Titicaca.

Committee welcome the Secretary General at the head of the island:)
After two days of digging through pilgrimage route we arrived and as Capacabany us feel part of it all at once we went to the cathedral and said a short prayers to the Virgin of Candelaria. And it was by the end of the religious part, now part of the commercial and will happen - resort. As
, with a little podziebilismy in the mountains, we could not push through, and we spent three lazy days by eating fish, resting and basking on the shores of the lake. One night we spent on the Island of the Sun (Isla del Sol), where according to Inca beliefs gave rise to the sun each day. Island to our surprise is not komercejna and enchants its idyllic atmosphere. The ruins of old temples and beautiful scenery allow you to relocate some of the old days.

Sacred Titicaca
Titicaca lake itself is just enormous. Situated at an altitude of nearly four thousand. m is the highest large body of water in the world (the next in the series NAJ in South America.). In general, how to not look more like the sea, and the water in the crystal and blue as Adriatic. It is a pity that so cold but what to expect at this altitude:)))
As of this Easter we decided to share those already in Peru and we went to Arequipa .......
ALL GOOD ON THE HOLY and tasty egg :)))))
drugs for all!

sacred Lake Titicaca La Paz - the city in which you walk through the rolls ends shortness

No. So as we wrote before we visited the highest capital in the world, La Paz (average height of around 3600 but trza places to climb to over 4000 m asl). The first moments in the city were really weird. We took the bus to the nearby metropolis south, and barely had time to see the beautiful view of the city and at the same time the bus stopped and the driver spoke to the crowd in the style of "the end of the strike, the road closed." Previously we reported that Bolivians strike in love, later turned out that the strikes in La Paz for a week already underway. (As for wages and working conditions) and NO, and we got by with backpacks tralujemy rozwrzeszczany protesting crowd, determined people. Neither are funny or tragic - just strange that in this country anyone can Block the main streets, and none of this does nothing. Although the city was paralyzed from the light not bother us in his tour.
La Paz as the capital is huge, located in a vast valley makes an electrifying impression. It is surprising that in inches is not overwhelming. Tiring yes, but only because of the altitude. When we went to do a photo panoromiczne to the higher altitude areas in the walk turned into real trouble taterniczy. So visitors to the city should be patient because it serves no haste health here:)))

La Paz

It's also La Paz

walk around the city is a real effort taterniczy:))
is not merely the La Paz is the attraction, but also a few things in the immediate vicinity. First, you can climb the surrounding six tysieczniki and it is not difficult. But we decided to lower the flights to those of our four thousand:)) The second wonderful thing is the Way of Death (World's Most Dangerous Road) or exit from a hill on a bike:)))
Road Deaths deserves a separate paragraph because it scored Seba .. ... and survived .... and did not se anything. It is very surprising, with an accident here is not difficult. It is 61 km down a clean exit, about 3 hours riding a bicycle at the time an extremely dangerous bends, of which falls as you load a few hundred meters of an abyss. Generally, the route starts at an altitude of 4650 m above sea level and ends at an altitude of 1200 m above sea level. This is a 3600 m downhill for almost a professional hardware a little rickety, but efficient in 78% (total count only chamulce :))). The route is divided into two parts the first asphalt road where the speed reaches 70 km / h on gravel and more technical with sharp turns and huge gorges. Adrenaline level is so large that even the man on the road comes a little excited. Name of the route comes from the number of car accidents, but also once a year are killed one person on a bike: ((((in my opinion and so little).

World's Most Dangerous Road

third thing is a souvenir. Pierdoly here are so pleasant to the eye, with no way to resist them sometimes. Well, as it happens man falls into madness souvenirs. Pokupowalismy a little now and our backpacks are nicer to wear jeszce :))))) Stalls with suvenirami Some are quite weird and slightly intriguing. You can buy them breaks embryos and other strange potions and spells to przyzady. In Bolivia, still mixes Christianity with local mystical beliefs. For example, for building a new home in August dig foundations lam embryos, but also in the provinces they journey deep are cases neonates burial!!
forget an add that we found our Palm Sunday. As with the first feast outside the home we decided to go to church, and devote palemki. The church we came across in August, not without the fun because she Basilica of San Francisco. Beautifully decorated building in the ornamental styles spanning the Indian and Christian. Palemki are other than us, braided trzcinny in different shapes and sizes. Mass fortunately turned out to be short and palemki We kept until Easter.

it palemke you:))
In La Paz you can be a lot longer than we did and we certainly do not bored. Everyone will find something for everyone and tourist agencies propunuja different crazy things. My podpatrzelismy some of the ideas and we went trekking options in towering over the city Corrdilierze Real (of course, on your own). After a short preparation we set out heyyy:)
