@Gameplan that is beautiful.  I have been to Colorado elk hunting a few times, I love it there.  We had a 4 hour pack-in on horseback up the Piedra mountain range, which had some awesome views.  But my all time favorite vacation was visiting my cousin in the keys.  What a beautiful part of the world as long as it isn’t getting hammered by hurricanes lol

I stumbled upon this thread by accident and almost burst into tears. I am madly in love with traveling and until 2020 I traveled a lot. We flew to other countries, we were in 32 countries and we were not going to stop (how naive we were). I always take my work with me, so it was not a problem for me to travel to other countries. But because of this virus, I had to completely change my lifestyle.

Previously, we could change the country 2 times a month, but in 2020 we bought a van and now we are riding around the country. And you know, that's cool too. We have fully equipped the car. We bought mattresses, pillows, dishes, made a large (relatively) bed and now can sleep wherever we want.

Thanks to the virus, we began to study our country deeper than ever. Previously, we flew outside, but now we are travelling as deep as possible. And it's super cool!

I really enjoyed Colorado. It was scenic and had mystery such as old mines will share photos and stories.

I decided to share with you some information about my RV. If you are suddenly interested in something else, I will be glad to add. For now, briefly.

We were looking for not the largest RV, like a truck trailer, but not quite small either. We found our mobile home for $ 9000, traded a little, and bought it for $ 8500. Bought here.

There were many minor flaws, but we didn't care about them, because we already wanted to leave home as soon as possible.
First of all, we have replaced all mattresses. Chosen and bought here.
Pillows were also found there.
Well, I think it's clear why we did it. Yes, the seller looks like a decent man, but I don't really want to sleep on a bed on which someone else has slept for many years.

We bought more of these little things - bed linen, curtains, a bunch of disposable dishes, changed all filters, a shower curtain, a toilet seat and a lot more (but these are all little things).

We adjusted some of the doors because they were slightly skewed. We wanted to change the sink, but realized that it would be too much trouble with this, and so far we have left it that way.

The most important parameter by which we selected the RV is the good condition of the suspension of the RV itself. And we were very lucky. For the entire period of its operation, we have not yet replaced anything.

  This is what I really enjoy. I have been in Istanbul, in Ankara, in Berlin and my next target is Lissabon and if the mother of all conflicts is solved, Jerusalem will be #1 on the list.

 

Before you go on. If you plan to visit Berlin, definitely go to the Pergamonmuseum in the main building and see the Ishtar Gate and the Market Gate of Miletus, both are mind buggling huge if you put yourself into the shoes of a simple citicen of that time.

The 360° Panorama is in a different building and if you don't have much time, only see the Panorama. If you have time, visit the permanent exhibition first.

Both easily occupy you for a day. On the other side of the isle (you have to leave isle and enter from another bridge) is the Bode Museum with an amazing cafeteria (Not ticket needed) that takes you forward almost two millenia. So enjoy your coffee and cake or sth. solid while pondering what may happened inbedween, the fall of the roman empire and the dark ages, that changed art.

 

Hi,

before the pandemic I was in Berlin and visited the Pergamonmuseum and the 360° exhibition which left me speechless.

This installation changes from day to night in a Iirc 5 minutes time frame and there is sound.

You hear people, animals and birds, the sound of the city when the sun rises, people go after their work and leisure, celebrating in the evening, guards...

The 360 Panorama is just huge and overshadows easily other exhibitions in the same building.

Before you reach the 360° Panorama there is another exhibition.

 

Draped statues in changing light © asisi / Tom Schulze

It is basically some statues and light installations that turn on and off following the suns pattern.

 

For like 20 seconds you get to see the statues in different lighting, like from the sun, and the shadows it creates change the perceived emotions of the statues.

For someone who understands photography this is a no brainer, lighting matters.

But these statues were made and placed like two millenias ago and survived time to show us the greatness of their masters.

 

You see the rectangle holes where the hands, arms or other parts should be?

These statues were not chiseled from a single block.

They were made by different stonemasons, each probably specialised on a few sets of skills.

 

Look at this video embedded on https://www.asisi.de/panorama/pergamon.

It shows some of the pieces and installations, mostly the 360° Panorama.

My perfect vacations were in different countries of South-East Asia. I cannot decide what was the best, maybe Bali thanks to its extraordinary nature. I fell in love with Nha Trang (Vietnam) and almost decided to move to Hong Kong😅 when everything about covid is over, I'll go to spend a few months in Asian countries and choose the best one for me.

For my vacation I always choose polish mountains  

I heartily recommend!

Below some pictures from Tatras
