Gumball 3000 letos spet po naših tleh

Znameniti reli super luksuznih, športnih in pregrešno dragih avtomobilov bo ponovno zapeljal po slovenskih tleh.
Start bo 26. maja v Londonu, cilj pa 1. junija v Istanbulu. Za nas bo predvsem zanimiv datum 31.05., ko se bodo iz Benetk odpravili proti Zagrebu.

Res da danes Gumball ni niti senca relija iz leta 2004, ko so sodelovali vsi veterani podobnih relijev (Lonman, Alex Roy, Kim Schmitz, idr.) a še vedno dviguje veliko prahu, predvsem ko se gre za varnost.

Terme Banovci

Po dolgem času sva si s Suzano spet privoščila oddih v termah. Tokrat na račun nagrade na video natečaju Sava Hotels & Resort.

Sobota, 23.04.2011

Najprej sva se dobro naspala, v miru pojedla zajtrk in nato odpeljala proti Banovcem. Ker je bila cesta "osvobojena" tovornjakov sva na destinacijo prispela v dveh urah in petnajstih minutah. Pozdravilo nas je lepo, sončno in toplo vreme. Ko sva v sobo zvlekla prtljago sva takoj zaplavala v bazene. Prvi dan je bil torej namenjen kopanju in spoznavanju term.



Nedelja, 24.04.2011

Po dolgem spancu sva se zbudila v še en sončen dan. Najprej sva pozajtrkovala, nato pa se odločila, da se malo zapeljeva okoli. Pot naju je vodila proti Bukovniškem jezeru, kjer sva imela prvi postanek. Sprehodila sva se okrog jezera, ogledala del gozda, ki ga obdaja, pila vodo na Vidovem izviru in si ogledala kapelo Sv. Vida. Nato sva se ob poljih cvetoče oljčne repice zapeljala proti Lendavi, kjer sva kosila. Odličen piščančji kebab naju je dovolj nasitil do večerje.

Ponedeljek, 25.04.2011

Velikonočni ponedeljek sva začela z ogledom mlina na Muri v Veržeju, kjer je tudi več kot 150 let stara vrba. Kasneje sva se odpeljala v bližnji Zavod Marianum, kjer so bili razstavljeni pirhi ki so jih izdelale bližnje šole ter lokalni mojstri. Nato naju je pot vodila v kraj Krapje na ogled čebelarskega muzeja, kjer sva si ogledala točila za med, ročne kadilnike, stiskalnico za vosek, preko 300 let star panj, ralično literaturo o čebelarstvu in prekrasen vrtiček ki vse to obdaja. Zelo zanimiv je osmerokotni čebelnjak, ki izvira iz 19. stoletja. Po ogledu in predstavitvi aktivnosti čebelarstva sva poskusila med domače proizvodnje, ki naju je prepričal v nakup.
Popoldne sva preživela ob bazenih.

Torek, 26.04.2011
Prebudila sva se v deževno jutro, zato sva se po zajtrku odpeljala po nakupih v Mursko Soboto. Ker dež ni pojenjal sva se kmalu vrnila nazaj v terme in se raje razvajala v savnah ter toplih whirpoolih. Dan se je hitro prevesil v večer in čas je bil za zadnjo večerjo. Dež je pa še kar vztrajal.

Sreda, 27.04.2011
Po zajtrku sva počasi spakirala potovalke in se pripravila na odhod domov. Zjutraj je bilo vreme sicer jasno a zelo sveže. Pot proti domu je potekala brez ovir, prometa je bilo zelo malo, kljub prazniku.

MAXX Fit izziv tudi uradno sprejet

Od včeraj sem tudi sam vključen v izziv, ki ga pripravlja Maxximum d.o.o. Vsak kandidat si zastavi cilj, ki ga želi doseči, ažurno piše dnevnik treningov, prehrane in sproti ocenjuje napredek. Med kandidati smo taki, ki bi radi zmanjšali odstotek maščobe, pridobili mišično maso ali samo malo boljše oblikovali naše telo. Vsak od nas mora objaviti telesne mere ter sliko z začetka izziva, 15.06. pa sliko ter rezultate po končanem izzivu.

Moj dnevnik lahko spremlajte na sledeči povezavi: Moj Maxx dnevnik
Na tem naslovu mi lahko postavljate vprašanja na katera bom z veseljem odgovarjal. Pa tudi kakršnikoli komentarji so zaželjeni.

Čakajo me trije meseci trdega dela, pod budnim očesom javnosti in profesionalnih trenerjev ter tekmovalcev iz sveta bodybuildinga in fitnesa ;-)

Zanimivosti na cestah

Kamionista sta ustavila sredi ceste. Nato je eden od njiju kar v spodnjih gatah skočil na prikolico. Danes, 07.04.2011 v Srminu

Srečanje Peugeotov v Kopru

Po dveh letih se je v Kopru končno spet zgodilo srečanje kluba Pugi.si. Zbralo se je 7 avtomobilov in 13 oseb. Zelo smo bili veseli obiska ljudi, ki so prevozili kar nekaj kilometrov, da so nas obiskali in delali družbo. V zelo lepem, sončnem in toplem vremenu smo se zbrali pred Mercator centrom 2 v lokalu Caffettino.
Ko smo imeli sence dovolj, smo se po koprski promenadi odpeljali do potniškega terminala in nato peš do Kroštole, kjer smo ob morju in lepem sončnem zahodu uživali v kavi, sladicah in seveda odlični družbi.
Vsem prisotnim se lepo zahvaljujem za udeležbo in dobro družbo.
Se vidimo naslednjič!
