Me and some of my colleagues have visited at Whitby Gothic Weekend. One of us said farewell to our job couple of days earlier. We dressed up as well, some of us pretty well, some not at all. Firstly we had a look over the ship from capitan Cook times. Really tiny nut crust if compare with greatness of ocean, but despite of this miserable sail they discovered big number of the new lands. We went into Dracula Experience to feel how to being scared and after that nice experience we found Whitby has someting particular... I like Dracula but I'd rather don't prefer different vampire stories. Plenty people were dressed like blood thirsty vampires and I think some of them quite well. Some different people were clothing from victorian times and some mixed up a ... read more

I visited in this museum twice because it's very interesting place in Manchester. I think the most interested one for tourists... How to get there? Very easy - museum is loceted in city centre in Liverpool Road off Deansgate and almost opposite Bethel House (Hilton hotel) - the highest skyscraper in Manchester. The Museum of Science and Industry consists five apart buildings. In each of these visitors could admire various mulitmedial exhibitions. For museum request were converted former industry buildings and eventually enhanced visitors impression. Firstly we enter into Main Buidling. Inside we can find store and Xperiment for children at the second floor. Moreover we can see some textile machines that were used in Manchester industry. That time I could understand how looked a textile industry in Manchester during its best times. Second building - ... read more

To Trakai (Polish: Troki) we travelled by bus from Vilnius. We paid two lits (less than one Euro) for ticket. The Trakai Island Castle is located at the lake island beyond a town. To get there you must to walk or drive along Gedimino gatvė than Vytauto gatvė and finally Karaimių gatvė street. You have to walk or drive just straight up, do not turn aside main road.

There is a Karaimic restaurant as well - more information about Crimean Karaites The Trakai Island Castle is referred to Malbork Castle in Poland but this one is much smaller than that one. It means sovereigns of medieval Lithuania cou... read more

We came to Riga after 4-5 hours bus trip and immidiately followed to our hostel. Luckily for us that one was located in city centre and we shouldn't had to carry our luggages so far. I must to write the issue whose I forgot to type - in all Baltic states tourist can pay by card. Terminals are widely spreaded especially in Finland and Estonia, but in Latvia we haven't met any significant troubles with payments by card. Some problems we met afterwards in Lithuania and Poland. Riga as like Tallinn, Gdańsk and Turku had belonged to Hansetaic League. Characteristic feature of old town are merchants tenements. These are carefully trimmed and outer facades are various (reconstitud as they had looked in XVI century - Hansa time), at some of these buildings were set sculptures or ... read more
