Ten days for happiness
Recently returned from the tour "Ten Days of Happiness" from Accord and can't wait to share their "happiness" with you. I'll start first - from Lviv. We left on time at 9:00. They crossed the border in about 2.5 years. In Poland we were stopped for lunch - there was a canteen at the gas station. It was planned to stop for 40 minutes. But it took 3 hours. As it turned out, 2 more buses of people arrived in front of us and we had to stand in line for food for about 2.5 hours and another 30 minutes. to eat. Everyone was angry and annoyed. There were even fewer people standing at the border, although there were many restaurants and cafes along the way - a 15-20 minute drive. Because of this we arrived at our first transit hotel late. The hotel is good, but without air conditioning and hair dryer (Hotel Hesperia, Olomouc, Czech Republic). The next day we went to Lake Lipno. Arrived at about 14:00. The hotel is also beautiful, but without a refrigerator and air conditioning (Hotel Frymburk). The lake is dirty, so I did not swim there. But you can take a walk. There are many bars. The hotel had 2 restaurants and a bar.
The next day we left for Salzburg. The road is very beautiful nature. The Alps can be seen from the window. We also arrived in Salzburg around noon. The city is extremely beautiful, but expensive, like all of Austria. And now begins the most interesting - Italy! We arrived in our town of Lido di Jesolo for about 12 years. night. Hotel Colonna. The hotel is run by an old, marasmic, greedy grandmother in her 80s who speaks only Italian (like all other hotel staff). The hotel rooms are just tiny. There was air conditioning, but without a remote control, the TV is mounted on the wall directly under the ceiling, but not fixed, just tied with an elastic band and with a broken remote control. Under the bed is a pile of gunpowder. Without refrigerator and safe. There were no towel hooks in the bathroom. The walls are white. No interior. In a word - just HORROR! Remotes from air conditioners are stored in the grandmother, you need to ask them and it gives reluctantly. By the way, I recommend you stock up on an Italian phrasebook.
And learn a few phrases - such as "the air conditioner does not work". Around 8:30 am, air conditioners were cut down in all rooms until the evening (the grandmothers at the reception have special switches). And if you do not go on excursions and want to hide in the room in the lunch + 35-degree heat - you need to ask that you turn on the air conditioning. We changed the TV remote control to another, but there is nothing to watch - 3 Italian and 1 German channel and it is inconvenient to raise your head so high. But we were lucky with the room - people got bunk beds, dirty bedding, some - no balconies. Breakfast includes rolls, slices of cheese and sausages, boiled eggs, cupcakes, tea and coffee and more. The same thing every day. Slicing is already glowing. Do not count on the supplement. Another grandmother is watching over everything. Looking at every gate. If you want fruit - you need to come at 7 am. In a word, they give out one fruit per person.
Take -2 - they make remarks to you, they can take away.
And for the Italians to jump - to bring them a supplement, even yogurt from the refrigerator! In a word, I HAVE NOT SEEN A TERRIBLE HOTEL! ! ! ! ! ! ! The only plus - not far from the sea, not on the first line, but close! There are free sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach. The sea is very warm, the beach is clean! The town is very beautiful, many restaurants, pizzerias. In the evening the city comes to life - music, singing, concerts ...Very beautiful! I didn't go on a tour of Italy - the air conditioner in our bus broke down ...It's hot in the afternoon +35 ...When people made a scandal, they repaired something a bit, but in Vienna it broke down again. We were lucky that it was cold in the Czech Republic and Poland. The bus turned out to be faulty and inconvenient. TVs are also not conveniently located. Nothing was visible from my place at all. The DVD was set up only when they left Italy. Showed mostly in black and white.
We were supposed to leave the hotel in Venice at 7:30, but we left with a significant delay, because the same marasmic grandmother could not count all the remote controls from the air conditioners (they had to be handed over on departure). And the whole group 20 minutes. waiting in the bus. In Venice, the tour is very long from 8:15 to 18:00. The heat there is even worse +38 in the shade, in some places the stench and high humidity. Prices there are driven (2 beers in the bar - 14 euros). Everything is monotonous. Very nice, but very long - in such heat it is difficult to stand on your feet all day! The Austrian transit hotel turned out to be very good (Villach - Hotel Sonnenhuegel)! In Vienna we got somewhere for lunch. This day in Vienna was like Life ball - a ball of transvestites. And some copies roamed the city. We spent the night in the Czech Republic in a very nice hotel Prestige 4 *. Czech Krumlov is very nice! Overnight at Raisky Hotel. Arrived in Krakow on schedule at 18.00. It was cold, it was raining. Most cathedrals have already been closed. In Wawel got 10 minutes. before closing. And we soaked it in the rain for 4 hours and went to the hotel.
I really liked the August Hotel. 60 km. to the border, 1.5 years. at the border and 70 km. from the border and we are in Lviv! In general - a lot of divination. And if not for some "poor thing" from our bus, or else you would call people who spoiled everyone else's mood, drove the group leader to a hysterical attack, launched the group leader with keys, because they did not like the hotel in Austria (luxury hotel with pool), they brazenly raked food from the buffets for breakfast and packed their bags and pockets ...Despite everything, everyone creates their own mood!
On this cheerful note and finish. I wish everyone a good rest, pleasant new divinations and a lot of positive! ! ! ! ! ! !
