Eating on a hike is always a pleasure. Firstly, a meal break is an opportunity to relax, and secondly, in nature, in the mountains, appetite comes faster, and it is much more pleasant to satisfy it. But eating has another important function - it is the restoration of the strength of all participants in the campaign. After all, it is thanks to a hearty lunch or breakfast that a tourist is saturated with energy to move on.There is an unspoken rule: you need to spend 2 times more time organizing a trip than the trip itself lasts. In other words, it is advisable to start preparing for a weekend hike on Tuesday.
Diet on a hike Food outdoors in summer without cooking Freeze-dried meals include breakfasts, lunches, dinners, meals with and without meat, snacks in the form of nutrition bars, tea and coffee. In other words, you can take exclusively freeze-dried foods on a hike and eat well throughout the hike. To prepare freeze-dried products, just add boiled water and wait 10 minutes. Rice with pork, oatmeal or bulgur with vegetables is ready. Also, the "plus" of such food is that it does not spoil in the heat. This is especially important when hiking in the summer, when a lot of food cannot be taken due to the inability to store them properly.In addition to sublimates, you can take with you products that do not need to be cooked on a burner. For example, oatmeal or instant muesli (they can be steamed without boiling water), milk powder, cookies, chocolate, cheese, sausage. Thus, you do not need to spend time not only on cooking, but also on washing dishes.

Food for camping Plan your diet at home in advance and make the necessary purchases. So you save a lot by not overpaying for food in the tourist shops that are on the campsites. As in any other case, it is not advisable to take perishable products with you. If it is meat, take it frozen or freeze-dried. In such a trip you can not do without water. Consider how many liters you will need for the entire period of the trip for all group members, because without water it is most difficult to go on a trip. Of course, you can’t carry a 5-liter flask with you. Therefore, during a hiking trip, you can buy more water or fill empty containers in the springs along the way.
One of the universal products are cereals, from which cereals are prepared. If the trip is not long, you can take canned food and stew (but remember that they are quite heavy and take up a lot of space). It is advisable to stock up on vegetables and fruits that do not spoil quickly. Grab tea, coffee, biscuits for a nice fireside gathering in the evening. You can also take your favorite sweets, nuts, chocolate, condensed milk - they are also high-calorie and at the same time they are easy to store.Note that even in a two-day light hike with tents, sublimates will be appropriate. It is enough just to calculate how much and what products are needed for the entire group of tourists - and the problem with food will disappear by itself. You have the opportunity to plan a menu for both vegetarians and those who love meat. And the variety of products allows you to eat new dishes every day of the trip, which will not have time to become boring. An overnight camping trip is a good way to take a break from everyday life and the noise of the city, gain strength and "reboot".
Picnic foodHiking, even if for 1 day, will be successful and unforgettable if you plan it correctly. Do not regret spending some time at home so that everyone enjoys outdoor recreation. Remember that the process of preparing food on a hike should not cause difficulties and take a lot of strength and energy. Make this process easy so that you can fully enjoy the travel itinerary.

Each of the listed sights has its own history, and in order to find out you will need guides in Italy who will accompany you to the most interesting places. Consider also the dates of the trip, because, for example, during the period of religious or national holidays, much more tourists flock to the country.1. Vatican (Rome)2. Pantheon (Rome)When choosing the sights of Italy that you should definitely visit on your first visit, you cannot miss such a monumental building as the Roman Pantheon. Originally built in 25 BC, it was destroyed several times by natural disasters, rebuilt and even "changed religion". But until now, hundreds of people daily strive to get under its arches in order to stand under the dome, admire the beautiful frescoes and statues, feel the breath of eternity and the inexorable destructive power of time at the same time. The grandeur and beauty of the interior decoration of the Pantheon is amazing.Passing under the arch of the portico, supported by 16 marble columns, you find yourself in the main temple building, which is crowned with a dome with a diameter of 43 meters. In its center there is a large round hole, called the Heavenly All-Seeing Eye. According to legend, he was pierced by evil spirits, wanting to escape from the sacred place at the beginning of the Mass.A feature of the light penetrating through the oculus is that at noon its rays do not scatter, but fall clearly vertically, forming a kind of light column and moving from one statue to another during the day, paying tribute to them. The walls and the altar are decorated with magnificent frescoes, partly created by Renaissance masters. There are statues in numerous niches, and the walls and floor are lined with mosaic tiles. In the center of the temple there are benches for those who want to pray or just relax.

Geography of cruises

More recently, it was believed that sea cruises are a boring, measured vacation for very wealthy elderly people. Recently, significant changes have taken place in the cruise industry: cruisers have become “younger”, and the trips themselves have become more interesting and variable in price. Sea and ocean cruises are now considered one of the most promising sectors of the global tourism business. This segment of the international travel industry is developing most dynamically, and the demand for the services of cruise companies is growing faster than for all other tourism products. According to statistics, the majority of cruise sales (77%) are from residents of the US and Canada.
    Among their indisputable advantages is the opportunity to visit several countries at once in one trip. The versatility of the holiday and the variety of experiences that the cruise promises become very attractive factors. Of course, staying in the cities during the cruise is short (usually the liner stays in the port during daylight hours), but even during this time you can see the main attractions. Finally, some tourists like the frequent change of impressions.The second advantage of cruises is respectability and exceptional comfort of rest. Cruise service is very different from hotel service. Perfect cleanliness and “marine” order reign on the liners: cabins are cleaned twice a day, and linen is changed every day. Hence an important feature - the class of cruise liners is always higher than hotels with the same number of stars. That is, four stars in the sea roughly correspond to five stars on earth.     If you buy a long cruise for 2-3 weeks, it is better to ask in advance where in the cities through which the route passes, there are city beaches and how to get to them.Difficulties during the cruise may arise due to tourists' lack of knowledge of a foreign language.

Vacation on a cruise ship

The luxury of the interiors is the main shock of the first hours of the cruise. All these Swarovski grand pianos, Swarovski steps, elevators, reflections, the diversity of bar interiors... I advise you to take a map of the liner at the reception or in the cabin and spend time navigating the rough Swarovski terrain. This will definitely come in handy in the future. Accommodation. We had a cabin with a balcony on deck 9 (price category 7). Don't be surprised, category and deck number don't match. Those who took the 13th deck (11th category of price) I feel a little sorry for. The fact is that the 14th deck seriously hangs over the 13th, forming, as it were, a long visor, skillfully covering the sky. Therefore, I still consider that we were very lucky with the deck level and number.
Nutrition. Well, everything is simple. If you want culinary troubles and lose weight - a la carte restaurants are your choice. If you want something simple and Swedish: you are on the 14th deck in the huge Boro-Boro. By the way, many do not go deep, but in vain. Behind Boro, there is a Pago Pago restaurant, it is absolutely the same as Boro, only you can sit on the stern and look at the outgoing sea from the 14th deck. I don't know about the rest, but we both had breakfast and lunch in Boro and Pago because of the amazing panoramic views that floor-to-ceiling windows form. Meeting the sunrise at breakfast is something! For dinner, everyone goes according to the places that are written in the map.The dinner menu is, um, very interesting. During the whole week of sailing, we had a strong feeling that the length of the name is inversely proportional to the number on the plate. The name of one dish can take three lines, and when it is brought, the Russian guy needs five times as much to eat. But no one bothers if you order the same thing again. The menu is varied, you can fantasize and experiment. All food is really free. With the exception of individual paid desserts on the menu.Tours. We corresponded with local guides, and, if inexpensive, took a tour from them in Russian. (I can advise Inna Revenchuk in Palermo - the perfect guide, inpirro@gmail.com) Prices for excursions on the ship in English are from 40 to 80 euros per person. Russian groups charge even more. Therefore, we did not bother: when going ashore, we took a taxi (15-20 euros) to the center and walked using maps downloaded from the Internet.

May is the very month when we stop thinking about work. The sun is warming, the calendar is full of weekends, someone goes to nature for barbecues, and someone is already actively rotating the globe and looking for where to go on vacation. The variety of choice is very pleasing, you can choose a beach holiday by the seas and oceans, sightseeing tours in Europe, or travel to exotic islands. In May, there is still no that sweltering heat, a comfortable temperature, the sea is warming up and the season is already starting in most resorts, nevertheless, the prices for holidays in May are not so bite.

Perhaps May is one of the best months to visit European cities. You can forget about outerwear, dress boldly in summer and take a walk along La Rambla in Barcelona, ​​take a picture in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, see with your own eyes how the famous Cannes Film Festival takes place and watch that indescribable riot of colors in the Royal Park of Flowers in the Netherlands, where in early May, thousands of tulips are still in bloom.Before the summer heat comes to Turkey, you have a great chance to go to sunny Istanbul - a city where all the best of European and Eastern culture is collected. The temperature in May is already comfortable for walking. You can walk through the Grand Bazar, see the famous Blue Mosque, or visit the modern art gallery, and in the evening go to one of the many nightclubs. Istanbul is a city of contrasts. Another interesting region worth seeing in May is Cappadocia. This unique place is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a hot air balloon flight over Cappadocia will be remembered for a lifetime.    If after a long winter you still want to bask on the beach and splash in the sea, choose the Mediterranean coast: Antalya, Kemer, Side, Alanya are already waiting for their tourists in May. The air temperature during the day rises to +26 degrees, you definitely won’t stay without a tan, and the water in the Mediterranean Sea is not so warm yet - about + 22 degrees, so swimming is refreshing. Do not forget that the prices for holidays in May are very affordable, because this is the very beginning of the season on the coast and the time of big discounts.Morocco Bali 

about cruises in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean with a child

I used to think that only very wealthy people could afford to travel on a huge snow-white liner. This myth was dispelled when, on a travel forum, I accidentally saw a sale of Caribbean cruises: $ 200 for a week tour on a five-star ship! I had a shock in the good sense of the word, and I began to study the websites of cruise companies for a long time and painstakingly. It turned out that a cruise can be bought really inexpensively (including air tickets, the rest will be comparable to a trip, say, to Thailand or Western Europe). As a result, we have already gone on a cruise twice: in the Mediterranean in 2011.
There is an opinion that cruises are boring and such a vacation is more suitable for pensioners. Yes, there are a lot of elderly people on the liners. Moreover, the higher the status of the ship, the more elderly people. This is because it is very convenient to relax on a cruise. Almost every day you find yourself in a new place, but you don’t have to go anywhere, fly, drag a suitcase, plan a route and spend time moving. Loaded things once, settled down and that's it! This is especially important when traveling with a small child or in the last months of pregnancy.If you want - walk, go sightseeing, go to the beach, if you don't want - stay on the ship, swim in the pool, sunbathe, sleep, sit in a restaurant. A cruise can be a very dynamic holiday, or it can become a complete relaxation. It all depends on the wishes of the guests. When I talk about cruises, I get asked two questions all the time.1. Does the ship rock? On modern liners, such powerful stabilizers are now installed that pitching is not felt at all. At some point, you generally begin to forget that you are at sea. It seems that this is an ordinary hotel somewhere on the coast. We felt slight hints of pitching when we went to the Caribbean Sea through the Atlantic Ocean. But it was only swaying when we did not experience any negative emotions, and the child slept better than usual.2. Is there any discomfort from the fact that there are about 2000-3000 passengers and about the same number of attendants on the ship at the same time? No. The ship is huge, and everything is so perfectly organized that we have never seen pandemonium. There is always a free table in the restaurant, you can always swim in the pool, go to the evening show, there are never queues for elevators and so on. Even when the liner berths in a new port, you can always leave freely, and even enter later. In Egyptian hotels there is more pandemonium.How to buy a cruise ticket? Cruises are sold by USA travel agencies, but comparing prices, I saw that the “cheat” from the official price of the cruise company is 50-100%. Yes, the cost of the tour includes the services of a Russian-speaking guide, but is it worth paying so much for an interpreter? The minimum knowledge of English is quite enough to buy a cruise, and, already being on the ship, to navigate and understand everything. Everything is organized so simply and clearly that even with a couple of dozen English words you can safely travel.The ticket price depends on the duration of the cruise and the type of cabin. The cheapest is internal, without a window. The most expensive is a penthouse with several rooms. Both times we took the middle option - a cabin suite with a balcony. With a child, this is especially convenient, because when the child is sleeping, you can safely chat on the balcony, looking at the sea, without fear of waking him up. The sites, as a rule, indicate the cost of the trip per person based on double occupancy. Children are not always free! You have to look at some of the specials. For example, I bought under the promotion “the third person in the cabin is free”, so even if an adult was traveling with the child, he would also be free.What to do on board a cruise ship? The liner has a concert hall with such equipment that will give odds to most St. Petersburg halls. There are real Broadway shows, concerts, dance performances twice a day, at eight and ten in the evening, so my husband and I managed to watch the show in turn (Alice did not appreciate the theater). There is a library with books in different languages, including Russian; game room with checkers, chess, dominoes and puzzles. There is a real casino, a jogging track, a basketball court, a cinema, several shops, a beauty salon and a SPA. And, of course, pools with sun loungers and many viewing platforms where you can sit and admire the sea, sunset and even dolphins.

    Traveling on cruise ships every year is becoming more and more popular not only all over the world, but also in Ukraine. Cruise companies offer more and more interesting routes. But like any tourist product, cruises have their own seasonality. So, we propose today to determine the best time for a sea voyage. To do this, it is important to know the sailing region, because each of them has a high season and low dates when liners are not represented in the region, due to the change of seasons they change the sailing region. Also, the best time for a cruise is determined by the climate of a particular region, the likelihood of storms, excursion opportunities.     The Mediterranean is one of the most popular destinations for summer holidays. Greece, Italy, Turkey, French Riviera, Monaco, Spain - all these countries have access to the Mediterranean Sea. It is here that a huge number of marinas are concentrated. The yachting infrastructure in Europe is second to none. Therefore, if you crave new experiences, be sure to take a trip on a yacht in the Mediterranean. This area covers a large number of countries, cultures and landscapes. You can rent a yacht with a professional skipper or buy a ready-made tour - it all depends on your capabilities and preferences.
    The best time to sail on the French Riviera The Côte d'Azur has a typical Mediterranean climate. The high season lasts from late April to early October. Summer here is hot and dry, the maximum temperature (+35°C) is observed in July and August. Winds in the French Riviera during the summer are usually weak. However, sometimes, for 1-2 days, a strong northwestern mistral blows.Yacht routes in Italy may include the Amalfi Coast, Naples, Portofino, Sardinia, Capri, Sicily, Venice, the Tuscan archipelago. During the trip you will enjoy the crystal clear sea and the untouched landscapes of the Aeolian Islands, the rocky coasts of the Gulf of Naples, the emerald green of the Costa Smeralda.The best time for yacht tours in Italy Continental, alpine, oceanic and Mediterranean climates merge in this region, creating favorable conditions for sea voyages. The best time for a yachting holiday in Italy is from June to early September. The maximum air temperature in the high season reaches +31°C, and water - +26°C.

A small prefaceRecently, cruise vacations have become increasingly popular, and this is not surprising. The cruise provides an opportunity not only to have a great rest, constantly being in the fresh air, but also to get acquainted with interesting tourist sites and natural attractions. It can be considered as the most comfortable form of sightseeing tour. Formally, we can say that a cruise is a group excursion tour in which a ship is used as a means of transportation. In fact, this main feature leads to great differences between cruises and bus tours.

1. Sea cruises

• The mode of passing the route is noticeably different. At night, the ship mainly stays in ports, and the passage of the route is carried out for the most part during daylight hours. This is due to the fact that the observation of the coast, with the cities and natural attractions located on them, is one of the main components of the excursion program itself and is a great pleasure.

 

about the mediterranean cruise

Going on vacation, we opted for a Mediterranean cruise. In part, our choice was this, because my husband went to sea for 10 years before and wanted to feel like a passenger on a luxury liner. Plus, a good promotion turned up on the MSC Splendida liner. We were very glad that our journey began with the eternal city of Rome, which you need to get to at least once in your life!From the trip, first of all, we expected rest. And I'll tell you that on the liner it's still a vacation! During the day you go sightseeing, in the evening and at night you have fun in the theater, bar and with animators. Secondly, I wanted to visit a cruise ship for the first time. This is a pool, a buffet, a restaurant and passengers in elegant dresses and suits, every evening a chic performance in the theater and constant luxury around!We got from Fiumicino airport to Rome by bus, which stops at Roma Termini station. Our hotel was located almost near the station, where we got on foot from the bus stop. Check-in to the hotel went quickly, without delays and complaints. I have already been to Italy several times and noticed that breakfast is usually early and not heavy. But regardless, delicious! There are absolutely no problems with food on the liner. If you want, go to a restaurant, the truth is there on time, if you want - to a buffet, where nothing is limited by time, as well as the amount of food on your plate. During the week on the cruise, we tried everything!

Rich Mediterranean cruise program

    The service during the cruise was great! The cabin was always tidy, clean and tidy. In general, we have long wanted to go on a sea cruise. Relaxing in a huge five-star hotel with full board, which also moves - what could be better? In each of the ports, we tried to walk as much as possible on our own. In Rome, we were insanely impressed by the Trevi Fountain. Unfortunately, we did not get to the Vatican, as it was scheduled for the return trip, and the liner was delayed, as I described earlier. In Genoa we really liked the Galata Museum and the submarine nearby. In Marseille, the weather let us down - there was just a crazy wind and it was not possible to walk in such weather for a long time.Most of all I remember visiting the Cathedral of Our Lady. In Barcelona, ​​we walked along the main street and devoted a lot of time to La Sagrada Familia. We got to the local market - it's very interesting there! In Tunisia, it was interesting in a different way, after all, a different culture, different sensations. We ended up in the town of Sadi Bou Said, where there are beautiful white and blue houses and a continuous bazaar along the streets. We got to the ruins of Carthage, it's really not as interesting there as in the ruins of Rome.    I want to say that if you have children, then this type of trip is definitely for you! We looked at passengers with children - insanely convenient. They play with animators, everywhere there is an opportunity to drive a stroller or change a diaper. And be sure to take a few days on top before or after the cruise to see the city where you originally arrive. You will get double the pleasure! I hope you enjoyed my review of the Mediterranean cruise. I recommend to go on a Mediterranean cruise to all friends and acquaintances!

 How best to route

     Keep in mind that the average walking speed is 4-6 km per hour. Before planning a trip for a longer route, determine your walking speed, as well as assess your fitness. Never go hiking in new and unworn shoes, it is better to put on old boots. As much as you can - walk along the seashore with bare feet. This is useful. If you plan a long hike in one direction and the direction is not so important, go "downwind". So save your energy and go much more.

Don't go back the same way. Arrange with the owner of the rural house or with friends to take your bag to your destination. For a half-day or full-day hike, be sure to bring a waterproof jacket, a pair of dry socks, a map of the area, a phone, a small bottle of water and food at a time in a small bag so that your stomach does not rebel. 

Where to go for advice 

Travel safety 

Move quietly in natural areas and remember that in Latvia forest animals (normal) do not attack humans. However, it is better not to climb a dormant elk. A disturbed boar will usually startle with an angry grunt and rush off in the opposite direction. Ein aus dem Schlaf gestörtes Wildschwein wird auch nur böse grunzen und kurz entgegen rennen. If the behavior of a wild or domestic animal seems strange, it is best to bypass it. Rabid animals are very dangerous to people and animals, so report it to your local authorities!

How to travel the world almost for free

You can live for free, but not for long. Usually no more than a week and you need to look for a new home. Fortunately, there are plenty of couchsurfers around the world, even in Russia.

Volunteer programs for free travel

How to save even more 

Cook your own food 

It is not necessary to constantly go to restaurants if you are traveling. Your trip to Paris won't get any worse if you decide to cook for yourself for the day. There is no need to spend a lot of money in catering. The recipe for low-cost travel comes down to 3 ingredients: an inexpensive way to get around, a place to stay and save on food. All this will turn your travel dream into reality.

    No wonder they say that if a person really wants something, he will do everything for this. The rest of the options are just excuses. Nowadays, going on a trip without having the proper funds is quite realistic. Moreover, there are unexpected life hacks on how to survive. And sometimes survive with special comfort in the most expensive countries in the world.Today we decided to dwell on a few of them and get your opinion on this matter. After all, stereotypes in our minds sometimes close in front of us the very doors behind which there is a dream.

    I have already raised the issue of food while traveling and that this item always takes up a large part of the expenses. On a trip to Scandinavia, spending on food amounted to the same amount as for an overnight stay. At the same time, for the first ten days, I lived exclusively on cereals for breakfast, muesli bars for lunch, and canned food for dinner. On any trip, the most economical option is to buy food in stores and then cook them in a hostel or on a burner. But I also heard about cases with free delivery of food. From discarded by expiration date and removed from garbage cans near supermarkets, to charitable organizations.

The fact is that even good foods cooked in water are considered perishable. There should be less crackers, chips, cookies and other similar food on the bus. Sweet tea, juice, coffee, soda should not be taken on the bus.

What to take on the road in the heat 

    Remember that the time that food is stored is short. Even in a thermal bag, it’s not worth keeping for more than one day. In terms of quantity, you are guided by how much to travel on the road.

trip-travel the best roads of las vegas

Hey! I am talking about a ready-made travel route from Las Vegas by car for 5 days to the most interesting parks in Utah in the USA. It will be useful for those who have already been surprised by the Universe of Vegas and traveled from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon, but again flew or came to Vegas to look at the best casinos on the Strip, visit various shows, and see the most interesting sights outside the city. In general, this article is for those who plan to continue their acquaintance with the United States in more depth.And the best for this is a trip called The Mighty 5, which includes five national parks in Utah - Arches, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands and Capitol Reef. We will see them first of all, and we will also visit three more state parks that are located near Las Vegas. We ourselves have personally visited all these national parks, and I will share with you practical information about where to rent a car, how best to go, where to stay overnight and, most importantly, what to see in these parks.

Route from Las Vegas by car 

Traveling along this route by car on your own, you will see the most important and interesting things in Utah: the best sunsets and sunrises, natural arches and hoods, high cliffs and deep canyons, take many beautiful photos and stay with unforgettable impressions from a trip to the southwestern United States .When is the best time to go It is best to plan a trip from Las Vegas to national parks in the spring (April, May) or autumn (October, November) months. At this time of the year, it is not very hot during the day, and there are not as many tourists in the parks as in summer. You can also go in winter, for example on New Year's Eve. At the same time, in the mornings in parks located at an altitude above 2000 meters (Bryce, Canyonlands) it can be quite cool, so I recommend taking warm clothes with you.

Utah state parks 

Why are Utah's parks interesting? Firstly, we have already visited as many as 53 national parks in the USA, and still we think that Utah parks are the most delicious and unusual thing to eat in the States, especially for the first acquaintance with the nature of America. Secondly, there are other special parks in the USA, such as Yosemite in California or the Grand Canyon in Arizona, which can compete with them in beauty, but Utah's parks still win in fantastic and unusual. Scenic views evoke emotions that overflow!

5 travel apps for travelers on a budget

    If you ever get the chance, explore the world without plans. When you return, you will no longer be the same. Jack Kerouac's book On the Road captures the spirit of spontaneous travel—going where you like, when you like, and experiencing the world first hand. Exploring the globe can be liberating, character-building, and a fascinating world. Even more surprising: Today's traveler doesn't need to be incredibly wealthy to explore just about any country on Earth.However, traveling the world isn't free, so unless you're rich regardless, you'll need to shell out a penny or two on those trips abroad. But you have a tool that Kerouac never dreamed of: your mobile device. Whether it's a smartphone or tablet, connecting with friends, family, and apps can save you a lot of money. Let's take a look at five budget-stretching apps you should always take with you when you travel.Few things can make you feel more helpless in a foreign country than the inability to communicate. Improvised sign language only for you. Most language translation apps are much cheaper than printed phrasebooks and usually contain much more information. Each Lonely Planet phrasebook app is for one language and only costs $6. These handy tools draw on Lonely Planet's rich experience in the global travel market. Taking the time to memorize a few phrases will likely earn you points among the locals.For a cheaper app that translates voice to voice (you speak one language and it repeats itself in another), iTranslate is your best bet. If you don't mind seeing ads, iTranslate language titles are free, or you can upgrade to an ad-free version for $1-$2. Jibbigo is another very highly rated translator, but it will cost you around $30 per language - not exactly budget-friendly, especially if you need multiple languages.Even if you use translators on the fly, you will still be good at remembering some important phrases. Considering how unstable some of the translation apps are, we know how to say "Sorry, I didn't mean to say that!" It can be useful.

There are strong relationships between local producers and chefs. In addition, the country's Tourism Board began to develop the Slovenian Green Cuisine brand. This culinary program is part of the country's overall tourism vision of sustainable travel.I have never been to wine and gastronomic tours before. Although some hints in our travels on them were constantly. If Anton and I found ourselves in any wine region, we always tried local wines, and when we had the opportunity, we would definitely visit wine cellars. So it was with us in Italy, Moldova, Hungary, Romania, Georgia, in Odessa, after all. When we got to Argentina, we even made a special trip to the famous Cuyo wine region to drive around its wineries, look at the vineyards and learn how the wine that is so popular in our country is made.
