In Lithuania, for its almost thousand years, history will not find interesting city of Kaunas. It is interesting not only for its history and architecture, but also the legends of its origin. But the legends better should start from a distance. Naturally, like any city, Kaunas is unthinkable without his country, and every country – not its people. About the emergence of the people themselves have the Lithuanians there is a legend. In ancient Rome, where, at that time, the rules of the emperor and tyrant Nero, lived a noble man named Palemon. Nero differed bad temper and once burned Rome, but in order to see how the fire burns.
Nobody could guarantee that he was not at the whim of the tyrant, to go today jail or be thrown to be devoured by dogs (a favorite amusement of Nero), it is not his wife will be brutally murdered and burned property, together with relatives. Whatever you say, the situation is not so. And, of course, not everyone decided to stay in city. One such person was Palemon. He and a few very wealthy Romans fled: went on a ship in the Mediterranean. They sailed a long time, and, finally, left the Baltic Sea. They continued their swimming up the river Neman, and where it flowed into the river Dubas, they went ashore. Located between two rivers was very convenient: all around there were beautiful forest. The rivers were many fish, but in the hearts were full of animals.
Vacationing in Egypt at the hotel Serenity Makadi Heights ***** from 13 to 20 May. Two adults and two children. I liked very much, but first things first. We bought a tour agency "All Year". With them, we knew before, because from them in November 2007 has already gone to Egypt. Of course, living in a market society, we inquired about the prices in other agencies, but there still was cheaper, and, taking into account the experience of previous trips, "All Year" has won us some confidence. Ping Fu takes a slightly different approach. And we're glad they were not mistaken.
This time we went with two daughters (8 and 11 years), and so were a bit worried about how to avoid any "puncturing" with the flight and accommodation. Having read on the Internet all the negative reviews, we have written in the "All Year" numerous letters to various questions. And each of them received a clear and comprehensive answer. Thank you for your patience and attention! So, we flew through the Anex Tour and honest, the guys worked on the "excellent". All well and at the time.
In Borispol got tickets and insurance. True, at the airport in Hurghada Anex themselves arranged the sale of visas for $ 16 instead of $ 15, as usual, if we buy without them. But we are not too upset. All the same trip through the Anex Tour is is lower than other operators, and service is absolutely on the same level. Besides, who wanted to buy a visa without Anex, do it yourself, we are just like most of our traveling companions, decided to be faithful to our operator.
