Sun, 03 Apr 2011 16:20:00 +0300

One of the bigger airports, where a well-known fly Ryanair, named Brussels (Charleroi) (CRL). The full name is Brussels South Charleroi Airport. That is, seemingly, the Brussels. In fact, it is about 50 kilometers from Brussels, in Charleroi. And not in the city, and about five kilometers from the city to the northeast, in the suburbs.

Florence in one day. Part 3

Fri, 18 Feb 2011 19:00:00 +0300

Before you climb to the viewpoint, I recommend to remember track where you came from. Especially if there is no GPS device. Otherwise will have to go back on the road, not intended for pedestrians. The weather today was lucky. Even on selling calendars often seen pictures of ordinary-looking gray. Climb to the top. The choice of restaurants here is small and located beneath us one of them. While were here, in front of a viewpoint on the left were a few that specialize in snacks and ice cream. Restaurant on the lookout. Classical types. Below us the river Arno and the Palazzo Vecchio. This species is particularly fond of shooting at night, with lighted lamps backlight. Mountains on the horizon...

Rail links in Italy allows, based in one city, "raiding" the neighboring cities. The technology is simple: in the evening planning a trip scheduled railway, in the morning we arrive at the station, buy a ticket from the machine. Within an hour or two before we reach the desired city, a day walk. In the evening we arrive at the station, take a ticket from the machine and back again. In all his travels in Italy technology malfunctioned only once - in the evening in a small town near Rome were closed all the ticket windows. The conductor on the platform said: "Go well", which was done...
