Евротрип2: Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany
Good day, my dear followers and just random guests! Two months have passed since the publication of my extreme post about the second worked at my favourite, so it's time to blow the whistle on the keys of a sequel, which I will talk about a series of failures haunt us for the next couple of days in hospitable Spain: the country, which is associated in most people with bullfights, flamenco and jamon.
I stopped at that, waking up early in the morning in Barcelona, Sanya and looked out the window and found underneath his car. Hastily went downstairs, I found on the sidewalk, which has recently cast its shadow our Mazda, bright sticker stating that Siniora say the tourists parked their Camberley wheelchair in the wrong place, where Parking is from 8 am to 10 am is strictly prohibited; therefore they must follow, por favor, to the impound lot. Sticker prudently contained a schematic plan diagram of the location of the Parking lot, so that under the leadership of my friend-Susanin, 15 minutes later we limped the ill-fated Parking lot. Mixed feelings caused by the forced loss of time, and potentially still losing money, was at times reinforced by the fact that to go on a fairly cool morning bars I had, pouring his legendary mint Slippers with blood, plentifully irrigating hospitable Spanish land from a cut thumb on his leg – the result of the imprudent race up the stairs))
From afar the sight of the machine among dozens of other offenders, we walked to the employee Parking lot and demanded to return our property back, and received a response at some local dialect of English: "Take, but first pay the fine for illegal Parking is $ 45 oyro". "A lot" — I thought, mentally saying goodbye to the coin. "Aw, shit," said I aloud, when it became clear that the service move the car to the impound lot is still 142,65 oyro, for a total of almost 200€ for the dubious pleasure to receive invaluable life experience to look around, leaving the car on the street. Attempt to encourage aboriginal to the voice of reason and explain that the sign prohibiting Parking, we could not see success, unfortunately failed, due to either stupidity or his recent outrageous tricks in the style of "my yours do not understand", or both.
Whatever it was, to challenge the penalty was neither the time nor the desire, so, sacrificing a couple of hundred oyro in the local Treasury, we went back to the hotel, Packed up and went to the amusement Park "Port Aventura". Before leaving, rinse and zabitova a wound on his leg, I took a picture for posterity: see the sign prohibiting stopping? And it is!
The evacuation of the car badly knocked us off schedule, so gathering his things, we immediately moved in the direction of Port Aventura, which greeted us with paid Parking, to failure crammed with cars: crying my idea to come to the rides before all =( As a result, after standing in a huge queue for the paid via the Internet for ticketing /90€ for two people/ and once finally inside, we were faced with huge queues for every little bit of interesting ride. By the way, in one of the queues, we met with a group of Russian dancers that the bus tour went to France for the competition and on the way stayed for a short time in different cities along the way. Looking ahead, I will say that we once again met our new friends already in Berlin, nearly 2000 km from Barcelona. Here's this little old Europe =)
So, in the queues for the rides we used the life hack: closer to the entrance to the ride queue is split into single and common, so you can not waste time in the General queue, and immediately come to this fork. Its meaning is that those who want to come together, stand in the regular queue; the rest of you who are not essential to go with a pair or sit around, go on the single, which is somewhat faster. Of course, there are the Express passes for each attraction and all at once, but the cost of them is completely humane. In the end, by midnight we managed to visit almost all the rides, some even multiple times. Summarizing the story of this amusement Park: not bad, but it was too crowded and terribly expensive.
The next stop of our trip was a planned city, which is one of my Moscow friend touted as a place with stunning beaches and luxury half-naked nymphs: teasers right for each of us. I of course was more interested in the beaches =)
However, after such a long and busy day we are pretty exhausted, so get to Barcelona, stopped in the Parking lot the native LGBT beach and went to sleep in the car, opening a little window for ventilation, which apparently was a fatal mistake for me... around 6 am I woke up from loud music and songs of local youth, apparently celebrating some significant event. Desire perepuskajutsja was just as great, how great was the desire to sleep, so I fell asleep again and woke up from what felt like open my door o_o.
Half asleep, I didn't realize what is actually the case, and the machine slammed the door and passed out again. I woke up 10 minutes later from obsessive thoughts that something is wrong: the door handle was lying my BlackBerry, and closing the door I stumbled. "We were robbed, motherfucker" — with these words I woke Sanka after he convinced the absence of both the BlackBerry and iPhone and Sony laying in the door pocket =) the Survey drunks and little understand English neighbors nor to no avail, as well as the useless trip to the office by the policemen, who immediately said that not having the IMEI code they can't identify my phone, even if they will find. So, friends, keep in mind: a) Barcelona is the city where looting is taking place everywhere and constantly; b) write down the IMEI code of your cell phone, just in case. This information you got for free, and I had three phones used respectively for communication, a notebook and Navigator...
Oh well, no time to be sad and worry about the loss, it's time to move on, recommended by a friend in Barcelona, turned out to be from another city with a huge concentration of Russian and Ukrainian.
Sea me already of little interest because of the wounds on his leg, so we have a little sunbathed, walked around the city and had lunch at a local restaurant, where Sanya had "warmed up" a glass of sangria; and then decided that with such rampant bad luck, we definitely should not go to Portugal, especially on the ferry to Morocco, and it is worth keeping the way back to Moscow.
No sooner said than done: farewell, Spain, we are not coming back here ever again!)
Leaving the city under the cheers of the Russians, praising our courage to drive so far from Moscow, I told Sanku that he'd break the deadlock through the Parking lot, but Sasha was too eager to perform the maneuver, not taking into consideration departing the Parking lot of a huge tourist bus. The result was not long in coming: Bang-bangity Bang, and here we are with a broken headlamp, bumper and crumpled the wing sit in the car and realize that the fighting is not over =))) Happiness that I prudently took with him from Moscow plastic ties and duct tape, so after 10 minutes the car was like new.
Not to say that the mood was spoiled, but the consequences of these two days is clearly not the best way impact on the overall impression of the trip: I wanted to spit and direct way to go back to Moscow. However, he took himself in hand, I decided to radically diversify our beach holiday and headed towards my beloved Italy right on the border with Switzerland. I drove all evening and half the night, but the road and the air on the terrain so awesome, that fatigue was not particularly felt.

The next morning we got to Breuil-Cervinia, Zermatt the Swiss border. Cervinia is a small town lying at the foot of the mountains, and through very picturesque tourist to find a hotel to sleep in less than a hundred oyro for two was not possible. Fortunately, I accidentally wandered into a local real estate Agency, which, as it turned out, run by our compatriot, who told us about the city, about the cost of ski passes in the mountains and found the hotel "only" 82€ for two people, the truth is with Breakfast.
Because ski slopes are open during the summer only in the morning, we had the rest of the day to walk around the city and prepare for tomorrow's outing to the mountains: first, we of course checked in to our hotel, where I made the main photo of this worked at my favourite that we have to Sanya very much))
In the evening we had dinner in a local restaurant, where I wanted to "warm up" for 10€. Until I apologized and surrender, I photographed the menu, suddenly appeared in the Russian language
In this photo you can see at the bottom of a common European collection, coperto, in this case translated as "tablecloth". This fee for the fact of being in the restaurant and it can vary from 1 to 5 oyro, at least to me, a big figure is not met; in fact the fee is the same as that of the Dubai taxi when just getting into the car with you already charge 3-3,5 dirhams.
After dinner, we had previously rented a snowboard, bindings and boots, 54€ for two. Ski passes were bought already in the morning, just before to climb to the top of the mountain, with one change.
The international ski pass, valid at Italian and Swiss sides of the mountain, cost us 88€ for two. A lot of course, but for the pleasure to ski in fresh snow in the summer have to pay.
For those wishing thus to ride boards/skis in the summer, it is worth noting that usually the snow falls at night and lies up to about 13 hours the next day, and then it gradually starts to melt from the sun, so to climb the slope, preferably directly in the morning, ski lifts are closed at one o'clock, and the last van from the slope to the city goes to 16зо, if I'm not mistaken.
Such a gap in time is not accidental, because it is necessary to see these tanned, toned European pensioners storming the mountains on foot, for what to them huge respect. The photo is not very visible, but the black spots on the photo is not acne, according to television advertising, and the people climbing the mountain.
We, in turn, perfectly rode the Italian and Swiss sides.
... then had lunch and went to the observation deck, which offers views of the Matterhorn
Closer to four o'clock the mountains began to cover a huge cloud, so that the ride would just be unsafe, so we went into town, handed over the rental inventory and are happy we drove further in the direction of Germany, on the way popped into an Italian supermarket and traditionally, typing of contraband in the form of an inexpensive but delicious Italian wine, coffee, pasta and so on.
Navigator Vincenzo migrated from stolen in Barcelona's Xperia tablet, has traditionally led us some goat trails and small towns, the roads in which are as follows:
By nightfall, having made a forced March Italy-Switzerland-Liechtenstein-Austria-Germany, we were on the shores of lake Constance, is remarkable in that with the different parties it washes the shores of Switzerland /right/, Austria /left/and Germany /right/.
The pictures limit is exhausted. It is a pity that this limitation makes picky to take photos for one post, but on the other hand, I've got so much text that it is unlikely anyone at all will read it but me))
Finalizarea, I want to say that certainly should be continued and most likely it will be the final part of the story about the second worked at my favourite, while the 20th of June, i.e. after three weeks, we go to the third worked at my favourite and will certainly re-visit Cervinia, taking with him his own Board...
Yes, and I read interesno to read about where he nebylo. Sorry for the lost phones, and Masha who rolled into the Parking lot
The bus driver said he was in a hurry, wrote down the machine number and left.
We were not complaining))
there is nothing complicated)
and with the accident without any problems, all correct?
mastered!
gorgeous Novella), and the photo is divine!
in Spain with friends and wheel cut, and glass hitting, in General, one negative(
On the outskirts of Budapest is a Museum of Ford. If you are interested, I recommend to visit.
That you have a good trip =) we have a late August — September. while planned. it will be the week to get to Budapest ( I think through what the city can do through Denmark ), then a few days in Budapest and probably in Croatia beaches )
Yes, I have that and so passing over the crossing, soon I will have Rolton to buy ... ))) in August planned in Budapest on smart party =) thanks for the invitation =)
What could be worse))
In a new two of 100%, the third seems to also be, however he is on holiday just 2 weeks, so I have it on the road somewhere in the airport to leave)
Join the place in next to the boards))
Well =) I was waiting super sucks about Spain ! And here again, not what I expected =) Just not pruha complete, which could happen in any country =\ Sorry, but the hood on to keep positive =) In a new journey back to 2 ? )
Oh, countrymen!
I want to go to Tashkent to fly to their historic Homeland, so to speak, but something is not fiscal, out(
Always welcome! Happy countryman! When was the historic Homeland for the last time?
Yeah! Earlier in Moscow was priletet on the weekend. And now difficult. I agree. Expensive. But still there is always some occase. God's will and the trip Home. And we'll meet as pologaetsya. Not ports, but seriously.
What is true is true! But that's just for starters, I need to change the car!) Temporary Priora what to say...But everything will change soon! Will only have to persuade the wife Yes daughter to set on a long journey.
From Chelyaba far by car of course to go. Although I'm in Barcelona saw Kruzak from Krasnoyarsk
It is logical that more and more Russian speech hear not only from our visitors. Local gradually adapt. If you take an interval of at least five years, the difference before and after is significant.
The resorts of Costa Dorada and Costa Brava unreal amount of Russian, I agree.
In Dubai in Russian vparivayut mainly on Nasser square, so there is the cesspool of Russian huckster)
In Tae had not seen the inscriptions in Russian, but the menu on Phuket do in most restaurants in English.
And in fact — why should it be otherwise: we live in the country with more than 140 000 000 people, you can guess that this huge mass need a place to relax)) And it is clear that more can be seen except the Chinese
When Spain was five years ago, the Russians met only once in two weeks.Things are different now . In Dubai first time flying — the only English to communicate, for the second time — already local Russian actively sell different trinkets. Greece, Thailand, airports of inscriptions on local, English and Russian. From Greece, the feeling that you are in the resorts of Krasnodar region — the same person, that Ms. talking the same garbage. Part of examples from personal experience.
Lately, it seems that knowledge of English is not so necessarily, if you speak Russian. ))
Nothing, will earn more.
The accident was not processed, because the injured party said he was in a hurry)
cool of course, but imagine what feelings experienced Parking/phone/car...painful trim journey
it turns out :) and the accident as designed?
alpha85
Leopard this, that bitch! don't worry, we abruptly there)))
on the beach stole my backpack with my camera, 4 lenses L series, freshly bought go pro and the keys to the hire car ))) with the keys we generally stuck balls deep, because 2 days they had a holiday, and at this time the vomit-covered car parked in the underground Parking space price, where a tow truck it was impossible to get it )))
WOW)))
the fact that it was in Barcelona, stayed in Barcelona ))) and it is better not to remember ))))
now do an article as we drove by car from Moscow to nice and back, it's interesting )))

I in Switzerland saw policemen in the past year, once on the border and the year before somewhere on the track. They say that you can fuck a nasty experience with them over the lack of the vignette at the gas station, where they allegedly specifically catch violators, I can't say.
Generally there is a bypass path purely in Italy and Austria, via Bergamo and Innsbruck, the mileage is practically the same as directly C/o Switzerland.
Here, I wanted to write about it, but forgot)
You did not nirazu, expensive hurt.
I understand))
The States will go necessarily, but I'm afraid that the wife of a month will not go there, and less time to go lazy. Think about this question, my wife can always negotiate, I have it "gold".
Yes, I'm kidding...
I advise you to go to the States! It's a different world! Everything is like in the film Brother 2! That's where the flavor will be typed in full )))) And for thrills rekomenduju to use the phrase in the subway "that's really the blacks too much" )))
Yes what beginners almost everywhere, visited))
To Spain never been particularly drawn, as can be seen for a reason)
Ooooh, Yes you are novice travelers ))))) In Barcelona is the pickpockets work better gaudí!
Ha)
I don't know was that Barcelona is famous for gaudí's work, and local pickpockets)
To America for another go, yeah)
Well, the fact that in tourist areas, and especially in Spain and especially Barcelona: pickpockets — it's a well known fact. And what of the wide open cars pulled values are only the result of a full party.
To cut through the Parking lot and Vindonissa on the bus — very Russian ))) You need to try on a roadside in the United States to cut!
The route is excellent, all positive, but a head on his shoulders should be...
The distinguishing feature of Russian tourists and the money they keep in the same wallet and everything is in your back pocket. Therefore, when you steal something all at once.
Waiting for descriptions of further adventures ))))
I am in Spain more than a foot, at least on the machine for sure)
Thanks, it's nice that someone reads them.
I hope about the third worked at my favourite, I will write a bit faster)
Oh Spain... also after another evening of football coming in the morning to the car, saw the carefully assembled parts of side mirrors on the hood... and carelessness (the fans tore down the mirror) and culture (the cleaners neatly folded them on the hood))
Great stories, I read with interest a lot of new things learned, thanks)
He, incidentally, was spared and did not give half-starved and paleobotany Russian soldiers robbing a local when crossing the Alps...
Great trip, despite minor troubles :)
Swiss "Dengi come on, just so!" of course Suvorov is frozen... they are not enough!..)
Hungry diesel by far.
We have automatic transmission, so I think everything will be fine
Teana may not really hungry, but I've heard that on the track they have at long movement of the variator is heated.
There is still a diesel Q7, but it can't go.
More dizel'kov and not one to take, so will have to settle for voracious Teanau.
Generally planned on the diesel coupe BMW because the car nimble and having a modest appetite. Besides diesel in Europe is cheaper than gasoline.
In fact, we'd never fit in them most likely in the end are now preparing Nissan Teah.
When I wrote to you Sanja has not yet managed to RAM bus))
It's not just the headlight, and the fender with bumper: the driver was in shock =))
No, of course I remember you warned me about Parking and theft, but about the broken headlight was not told) adventures have, of course, the fire is out :)) Good that you are still unable to pull myself together and relax to the full! I would probably a bloody and wimp out)))
We near the gas station and spent the night.
Several times I catch thieves that are out of my pocket the wallet tried to pull, but to get in the car, where sleep two people — the height of arrogance.
Barcelona is not the whole Spain. And thieves enough in Paris and in Milan, need to spend the night in the extreme case at the gas station.
Thank you!
All excellent, full of campsites where you can stay on the trailer. Of course not in the city centre.
Here for example, camping on a lake in Germany:

Klasnyi worked at my favourite!
Tell amps.I want to go to Spain with the trailer that it would be to live and save on hotels as infrastructure prices ?
In Switzerland, very cool ! We rolled there in transit for 1 day, but Zermatt conquered forever )
I'm at home, read in detail your trip)
Truth be told that in Europe everything is fine and no worries? The cafe is very interesting.
Everywhere has its own nuances, quite happily hardly anybody lives.
Overall, there is good.
