NEW ZEALAND


New Zealand

New Zealand is a country on the edge of the world, the home of the hobbits and one of the best countries to live in all ratings. These are beautiful mountains, blue transparent lakes, forests of the Jurassic period, volcanoes and geysers. A place where people, penguins and seals calmly exist side by side and absolutely do not interfere with each other. This is really the perfect place for a dream trip! It was with this thought that the preparation for the trip began.

So New Zealand, what do we know about her? The main territory of the country is located on two islands: the Southern Alps are located on the southern island and the highest point of the island is Mount Cook (3754 m); the northern island is warmer, there are main pastures and green hilly meadows. The country's population is 4.5 million people (less than in Kiev), most of whom live in two cities: Wellington (the capital) and Auckland (the largest and most populous city in the country).
Хоббитания


Send a bit of a long flight and change of time zone, rented a car and went to see the beauty. The roads of New Zealand, by the way, are worthy of the highest praise. Through lakes Javea and Wanaka left on the coast of the Tasman Sea. Big waves, black sand, huge seagulls sitting on stones and calmly contemplating the sea - an impressive sight!
We crossed the island from west to east along a beautiful road through a pass in the Southern Alps 
and drove to the Pacific coast. On the way, we met Kia parrots who go after people and beg for food. 
We recommend not to be “led” to their requests: they become lazy and do not want to get food on their
 own.

Along the coast of the Pacific Ocean we reached the edge of the southern island. Seals on the way, seals
 have eclipsed all the delight of the scenery. Just in the middle of a small town, on the rocky coast, these
 cute creatures crawl out to bask in the sun and sleep. And people do not interfere with them at all!



From one island to another can be reached by ferry through a very
beautiful bay. Three hours
of travel fly by.


Brief advice for those who are going to New Zealand:




It should be borne in mind that everything closes early. At
20:00 close reception in most hotels and motels. Cafes and restaurants are open
until 18:00 (with the exception of large cities). Pubs and bars open late. New
Zealand cuisine is a mix of English and American: puddings, burgers, french
fries and large portions. It is very safe here. You can leave the phone on the
bench, and no one will take it. People are kind and responsive, but their focus
is difficult to understand, especially on the South Island.


In this country you fall in love already from the window of the plane. Every 


minute you smile, wonder and do not believe your own eyes. If there is even


 a tiny opportunity to visit New Zealand, do not miss this chance. And if the


 opportunity is not there, create it and fly to New Zealand! Believe me, 


it's worth it.

13 REASONS TO GO TO SCOTLAND

Scotland is a paradise for those who want to test their strength. A seemingly innocuous hill can easily turn out to be an impregnable summit, a summer walk to become an Arctic expedition, and crossing a tiny river turn into an unexpected rafting. But stunningly beautiful views, traces of ancient history at every turn, and a sexy Scottish accent redeem everything. 1. Sunbathe on the most secluded beach in Europe . "Azure Sea", "white sand" and other Caribbean-Maldivian stamps are difficult to apply to Scotland. Unless, of course, we are not talking about the beaches of Harris Island. To get to them is not easy - by plane from Glasgow or Inverness or by ferry to Stornoway, and then another hour and a half by car along serpentines and landscapes resembling the moon. But then your only neighbors will be wild ponies and dolphins. 2. Spend the night in a lunatic asylum The Scots are famous for their eccentricity and lightweight "gravest" humor - n...

Gediminas castle

All Lithuanians know a legend about establishment of Vilnius city. It was the beginning of 14th century when Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas stopped for an overnight near confluence of Neris and Vilnele rivers. That night he dreamt an iron wolf howling on a hill. In the morning his soothsayer Lizdeika explained his dream as a sign for him to build here a city as it will become a well known and widely resounded in all over the World. Gediminas ordered to pour a mound at the same place he slept. On the hill there a castle was built, the predecessor for the nowadays Gediminas castle. According to archeological researches, the hill where Gediminas castle stands nowadays was already inhabited in a Neolithic period. In 11-13th centuries a wooden castle here stood. The same as Vilnius city, it was mentioned in 1323 for the first time. For more than 250 years since 1315, when a dynasty of Gediminaičiai ruled the Grand Duke of Lithuania, the complex of Vilnius castl...

Switzerland

Switzerland is a destination for lovers of impeccability in everything. The best ski resorts of the Alps, impeccable service in high-class hotels and an excellent "excursion" in ancient cities and castles. Someone Switzerland may seem boring, someone - too expensive, but someone will find there the most charming castles in the world, and the other - the best routes of the Alps. And everyone will be right in their own way. So it is not surprising that the ski resorts in Switzerland are divided into two categories: for billionaires and millionaires. Let this be a clear exaggeration, but there is a bit of truth in it: the prestige factor is the main tourist trump card implying tangible financial costs. However, the direction has a lot of other advantages: licked tracks for every taste, the best mountain hotels in the world and a whole mass of historical sights, mostly castles. Of the minuses, it is possible to distinguish all the same high cost ... however, as you k...
