Johnson's Mini Baby Powder

5th Report: Bulgaria - Romania - Hungary

Nach Sofia we went east to visit the Valley of the Roses. Unfortunately, we at least 1 week early was our turn to enjoy the rose splendor. So There Were Roses Distillery tour or even buy rose oil and Meli was annoyed ...

asking for directions: one of the truck then drove for about 10km before us to show the way - the only one found by us rosebud, after all ...


The trouble was the high point the next day in the form of unnecessary damage park in the narrow streets of Burgas. We found ourselves suddenly surrounded by many construction workers, the police were called but the understanding was thus to a not too easy. Raphael was allowed as the first in a not quite fully functional respiratory blow, fortunately alkohltestgerät 0:00 per thousand. Forms were filled out (in Cyrillic) and eventually we were escorted to the police station, where we were verknurrt to 70 CHF buses (for whatever). The shock
sat us deep into the bone, but we were reassured by the love of VW mechanics Buswerkstatt by phone. It was still only half as bad and the fender-bender could be repaired in Switzerland (the Comprehensive assume yes everything). After a stroll through the city, we cooled our feet for the first time in the Black Sea.

Our poor Büssli with sheet metal damage - might have blessing of the car as it helped do the Bulgarians.


So we will not get too comfortable with all the stress, our gas went to cooking but slowly but surely coming to an end and we spent 2 hours searching for a gas station. Answers like "I do not know" and "Maybe pumping station" brought us further and further to the south, the Black Sea coast. At some point, but it worked. Tired and exasperated, we were finally a nice campsite where we could move into a bungalow ('s kind of camping in the East rather than in a bungalow in a tent or on the bus), and finally the luck was shining again auf unserer Seite zu sein. Bei Vasko und seinen Freunden verbrachten wir 2 ruhige Tage mit Baden im Meer und wurden am Abend jeweils gut mit Essen und Rakjia verköstigt.
Leider wird die Küste in ganz Bulgarien extrem verbaut und ein Hotel-Komplex reiht sich an den nächsten.

Der Campingbesitzer und seine Freunde - Der Strand am Schwarzen Meer: leider hat es sehr viele grosse Hotelkomplexe.


Die nächsten 3 tage verbrachten wir mit Sightseeing der Küste entlang. Fuhren bis zur türkischen Grenze und besuchten unter anderem die Klippen von Kliakra, wo wir direkt vor der Burg auf dem Besucherparkplatz nach einem herrlichen Sonnenuntergang were allowed to stay.

trip to the border of Bulgaria Turkey - Fort Kliakra.


In Romania, we drove along the coast to Tulcea. The starting point for excursions to the Danube Delta, where we directly in the city behind a closed hotel the night. After the collection of information about visits to the Delta on several Touriinfos, we sailed the main channel down the Danube to Crisan. We stayed in a small inn, where we took with the owner of the inn two boat tours through the winding canals of the Delta and from him to dinner with several variations of fish were catered for.


In the Danube Delta ...


While visiting the Delta we left our dirty laundry in a laundromat. Even the underwear and socks we got back ironed! Our road again further west. On our map mud volcanoes were located as a highlight, but no indication of where you can reach them. The search also turned out to be kinda difficult.

designed
Search of mud volcanoes to be difficult (we proceeded uns mehrere Male).


Auf dem Weg in die Region Siebenbürgen für die Burgentour wurden wir wieder ein Mal von einer Schweizerin überrascht. Cornelia, welche seit 19 Jahren ein Kinderheim in Pànàtàu leitet, lud uns spontan zum alljährlichen Theateraufführung ein. Wir blieben gleich drei Nächte: Spielten mit den Kindern und Jugendlichen, unterhielten uns mit den aus der Schweiz angereisten Frauen des Gönnervereins und kamen in den Genuss einer eindrücklichen Theateraufführung. Nach schönen, aber auch anstrengenden Tagen (die Kinder sind durch ihren Lebenslauf alle psychisch beeinträchtigt, was sich vor allem in ihrem Verhalten und ihrer Kommunikation ausdrückt) machten wir uns auf den Weg zu den Kirchenburgen von Siebenbürgen.

Natürlich besuchten wir auch das touristisch ausgeschlachtete Heim von Dracula. Da beeindruckten uns die kleinen Dörfer mit ihren gewaltigen Kirchenburgen viel mehr.

Auf der Tour in Siebenbürgen: Kirchenburg von Honigburg - Schloss Dracula - Kirchenburg von Preijmer - Glockenturm von Schässburg.


Was striking is the stark difference between the well-dressed and used by tourists and the rest of Transylvania, Romania, where poverty and decay of Ceausescu's megalomaniac constructions are predominant.

Typical Romanian Farmers' Market - Honey Seller.



Before crossing the border to Hungary, we let our Büssli again washed and changed our last Leu's hoof. The fact that we sit still on Bulgarian Lewa, you can change apparently only with border from Bulgaria to Romania, we had a lesson.

Now we are in a much richer country, which manifests itself first in the pothole-free streets and posh herausgeputztem campsite with its own thermal whirlpool bath.

Topsy Turvy Cake Costs

4th Report: Albania - Greece - Bulgaria

Our stay in Tirana at Migena, Martin, and Nils was extended unexpectedly. Raphael was in bed with fever and was Meli and Migena with everything so expect nature to health. So we took seven days leave of Tirana with a heavy heart and our friends.

Meli and Migena in traditional Albanian costume.


We drove along the coast to the south. The trip to Apollonia, an ancient ruin site developed to highlight. The impressive ruins (Amphitheater and a monastery) were destroyed in part by the bunkers Enver Hoxas, but were still very impressive. When we asked a guide for the way, he suggested that we should immediately stay the night. So we stayed with ruins in the back and a wonderful view over a plain and sea. That the next morning at the crack of dawn 'many Albanian families 1 May trip will be listed here and make us our place in dispute, including the leader of course has not said anything.

Theater in Apollonia - stay right in front of the ruins.


Auf dem Weg in den südlichsten Teil Albaniens, nach Butrint, übernachteten wir direkt am Meer auf einer Landzunge zu einer Burg. Während wir uns einrichteten, wurden wir plötzlich auf Schweizerdeutsch angesprochen und von Regula und ihren Freunden, die auf dem Seeweg nach Griechenland unterwegs waren, zu einem Fondue auf der Yacht Sarabella eingeladen. Am nächsten Morgen gab's das erste erfrischende Bad im Meer.

Morgendliches Bad im Meer.


Butrint, eine riesige antike Stadt mit einer unglaublichen Geschichte (wer mehr wissen will soll mal googlen oder auf unseren ausführlicheren Bericht, wenn wir wieder zu Hause sind warten), impressed us greatly.

A church in Butrint, or what's left of it yet.


For our last night in Albania, we looked for a beach close to Saranda. The hotel was not open, but unfortunately two other campers were to us, otherwise we would have had the entire beach to ourselves.

last night in Albania.


was called in Greece, then to come forward particularly. The gas was suddenly much more expensive (the Greek was now on the crisis, the exploding oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, or just increasing Petrol Price?). We visited the Meteora monasteries. Together with Russian and Greek tourist crowds we were even allowed to look into some monasteries. But the most impressive was the place of construction. On huge, up to 500 m high rock towers, the monasteries were built. For lunch we made our walk on to a somewhat remote monastery and were suddenly all alone ...

The rock towers of Meteora - The Varlaam monastery.


In Bulgaria, we stayed at the Rila Monastery. "Unfortunately," it was once again on a holiday (Day of Bulgarian Army) and we were not the only tourists. Nevertheless, impressed us of the monastic complex located in the forest and the paintings of biblical scenes.

The Rila Monastery - paintings.


for a hike in the Rila National Park, we relied on the guide, which led us to Borovets. That is the best starting point for hiking and details were not available in the Touriinfomation but at the front desk of the hotel. The first card purchased, then taught us better and we had some miles on Holperstrasse (which are lower in Bulgaria than in Albania!) Drive until we found the starting point of our hike: a hut at the entrance of the park. From the fireplace did smoke, but neither our nor knocking horns came out someone. So we spent the night in vain, got up early and then saw the keeper but still before we made our ascent. At first it went quite well, but then came the snow fields, it was foggy and we lost the markers. But nothing brought us to repentance. We were then greeted by sunshine shortly before the summit. Not only by the sun but also from a large ski lodge you can be reached by chairlift. Of course there were some "Sunday stroll" on the road and we were soon on the descent.

climb over a snow field in the Fog - The seventh Lake of seven.


Today we visited Sofia. The city is an interesting mix of culture (especially old churches and museums) and shopping city. Unfortunately, the paintings in the churches of the many candles are soot blackened so strong and illumination is missing that you could not see much more often. We were traveling by bike: concentrated on potholes and racing cars. Tomorrow we will visit a concert in a club (somehow the events are held here on Sunday and not on Saturday!).

the Aleksandar Nevski Cathedral - shopping street in Sofia.


We would on the outskirts of Sofia between the curb and the highway at a campsite and once again have power to blog. Unfortunately, the current is the only comfort ...

How Much Does A Plastic Surgeon Make In Canada

pickings 2009/10 SpVgg-3, SpVgg 4, 5 SpVgg

read about three other teams at the district level
SpVgg 3
-2.Bezirksliga-
was very optimistic about the team as a rising star in the season 09/10. The optimism seemed justified as a starting point was 5-1. In the course of the VR were from the remaining 6 games, only two victories, so that the team was indeed in the middle of the Christmas break, the points account promised but still a hot RR course, concerned but more with the rear ranks.
As put forward in the RR, the first five games no point gains, even haunted the relegation fears about in the valley churches. Five points from their last 4 games brought the league two laps before the end. established
SpVgg 4
-3.Bezirksliga-
in the league for years, ultimately, this time the team was unharmed. This image came to falter when the season started with three draws record-breaking began. With 12 points from their remaining seven games, VR, the team was then set in the table region.
The results obtained in the RR ranged then 15 points at the end unchallenged for a 3rd place.
SpVgg 5
-3.Bezirksliga-
was the first time in the history department at the district level on a 5.Mannschaft Start. Der Klassenerhalt war natürlich das Ziel, dass sich aber nur die kühnsten Optimisten vorstellen konnten. Auf alle Fälle wollte die Fünfte in den meisten Spielen Paroli bieten, mehr als ein 5:15 Punktekonto konnte aber nicht erzielt werden.
Anders das Abschneiden in der RR. Das Team wusste sich enorm zu steigern holte im zweiten Saisonteil 10:10 Punkte und damit den Klassenerhalt, der wohl in die Rubrik Sensation eingeteilt werden kann.

Watery Cm Pregnant Or Period

pickings 2009/10 - SpVgg SpVgg 1 and 2 -

Am Freitag, 30.04.10 fand die Abteilungversammlung statt. Wie so üblich gab es auch rückwirkende Betrachtungen der Saison 09/10!
In der Reihenfolge der Herren-Teams SpVgg 1 - 8 u. Juniorteams SpVgg 1 u. SpVgg 2 gibt es in nächster Zeit eine Nachbetrachtung über das sportliche Abschneiden.
SpVgg 1
-Oberliga-

Ein einziges Team der SpVgg stand am Saisonende auf einem Abstiegsplatz. Leider erwischte es das Team mit dem die Wenigsten gerechnet haben. Nicht nur intern auch extern war der Tenor - "SpVgg 1 steigt nicht aus der Oberliga ab"!
Doch diese Einschätzung traf nicht zu. Das Team landete auf dem vorletzten Platz. Positiv, dass es immerhin der sog. "beste Abstiegsplatz" ist.
Die Ursache für das Abschneiden ist nicht primär im Sportlichen zu suchen. Aus beruflichen Gründen war es dem Team nicht möglich nahezu in Bestbesetzung aground.

Only rarely was this list to the league team available!
(A. Sharif, M. ornamental Meier, R. DI Florio, M. Szalaba, Ch.Winklmeier, S. Peters)
All too often had reason to dispense with players from the RL-Pos 1-3. That despite the partial Aussichtslosikeit the round was played sensibly to end is not only the rest of the team thanks to the players who stepped in again and again (including full team SpVgg 2) wore their particular batch contributed.
The signs are condensed, that would be enough now the "best relegation zone," even in the next year in the league to be there.
SpVgg 2
Oberbayern League
The team was from the beginning as a promotion candidates traded. To direct ascent (1st place) or relegation place (2nd place), they had to deal with two other competitors.
While in the course of the season SpVgg crystallized dirt road as the championship contenders gave it to No. 1 for the 2nd place and relegation place is a true head to head race. With the SC 2 and the FFB SpVgg 2 moves two teams on an absolute eye level. The final score of the final table will go down in the results Nisa Nalen, at least in the district of Upper Bavaria.

1. SpVgg Erdweg 18


160:64
(+96)
34:2
2. SC Fürstenfeldbruck II 18


153:73
(+80)
30:6
3. SpVgg Thalkirchen II 18


152:72
(+80)
30:6
4th TSV Forstenried 18


117:102 (+15)
21:15

You can now have the entire season are looking for where the game was. But we do not complain about the "bad luck", we enjoy a starken Saisonleistung von SpVgg 2 !
