How To Treat Cough In 6 Month Old

Blago one day forever ... Blago

So the ultimate goal of our journey completely stamped approaching. We will finally find our friends, the sun, the aquatic center, beautiful terraces and beer at 75 cents (pint), Bulgarian women (for viewing pleasure of course), the hotel at 5 € night our favorite dishes and of course the legendary parties at the Underground!
But first, there are 70 km to go and my knee told me that it will not be a cakewalk. As usual, the first few miles, I feel nothing, but more importantly, we see that it is much softer than expected. Road Blago through a very mountainous region and we really thought a rough time, but it turns out that ultimately, there was practically but downhill or flat. Add to that the pain did not wake up and it was the very last stage: it was a pure happiness. 42 ° C have changed nothing.
5 km from Blago, we stop at our friend Yordan for a small brunch conditioning before the grand finale. Camcorder in hand, Rado to completion, we were filmed for the final moments bicycle and entered the city to the Place de l'Opera where we expected a cheering crowd (see link). We then took a drink, check into the apartment of Alain, the French friend who introduced us to the area, restaurant with friends and especially evening at the Underground, the box of our favorite friends there. This is the starting point of our holiday
, real ones, not those where we look at the clock in the morning, where we have the toes in a fan, lying on a deck, admiring the view.
But it is also the end of a fantastic adventure. 2320 km across Europe with Tom, it has not always been easy, but what experience, what memories, I gladly renew, but that's another story ...

Expired Vigamox Solution

Alpe d'Huezov!

Unable to leave Montana without you about our encounter with Flipper transdimensional Server. We get up and being ready, go down to breakfast, included in the price. A guy a good sixty years comes to the table to show us the menu in the morning and go for the solo Flipper Server: "Mategledet pledogletapoltov kuglovski
tchuchki bistoufly Grut flakeublak tizuski bistouket OMLET flumach quiputz dazuglaski ... "The guy was speaking in Bulgarian ultrasound. I do not know how Tom has understood" omelette ", so we took two omelets, to simplify life. Then we ordered a hot chocolate and an iced coffee . pinball second spin, we did bring 2 chocos & 2 coffees, it took more pay. Flipper Thanks and see you soon for new adventures, we take the bikes and plot.
25 km long not too steep climbs and short descents, it was the premise of the big climb. It heats up well, one last break and you attack the coca chunk: a coastline of 22km a climb of at least 1000, charged and with a blazing sun above our heads. Indeed they announced between 39 ° and 42 ° c in the region.
We agree with Thomas to tell you, "the trick is the hardest that we have made our lives".
The coast was steep, especially without respite and endless, not a moment of respite: 2H30 non stop effort! HARD CORE! To be honest we stopped 2 times to drink, never leave it too long because HARD CORE!
course to complete the picture, do not forget the cars and trucks that do not always have the distance necessary to avoid us. Arriving at the top
14h : What a relief! Beady uttered a cry of egg between Tarzan and Marcellus Wa llac in the cellar. Sneaky its side, a victim of his only break in the middle of the trip chain mounted it goes without saying, did not have enough juice to say anything soit.Petite lunch break and there were expected to mega raid super relax a 20km least u: and in thy uc bah! 10 minutes later and it climbed back like that for miles. Beady's knee did not like the joke. The last two hours for Sofia it was very difficult. However, the descent on the capital was a great moment. It starts in
les montagnes la surplombant et d'un coup on voit la grande cuvette apparaître avec les premières villes de la périphérie et enfin la capitale bulgare tentaculaire avec ses blocs par centaines, ses espaces verts et ses monuments au loin. Arriver comme ça d'une montagne à plus de 55 km/h au-dessus d'une ville de près de 2M d'habitants, c'est vraiment un
spectacle grandiose.
On prend le traditionnel train de banlieue pour entrer dans la ville sauf que là il s'est transformé en car. Ne prenez le train en Bulgarie que si vous avez beaucoup beaucoup temps devant vous.
Arrivés en centre ville, on fait appel à notre ami Rado chez qui on doit passer la nuit pour nous indiquer le chemin. Rado, c'est the Bulgarian happy. And so it was lost as expected. Re-call and nouv it a little clearer explanation. Here it is we find our Bulgarian friend. His neighborhood "Madlost" (Youth): bars USSR era buildings, facades to pass a squat for a 4 star, but inside is fine. These are the remnants of the communist period. The new regime has given the apartments to people, but the condominium is no or very little. Only the rich in the new residences are entitled to a "Western luxury." That evening we made a small quick meal and a drink we share in the quarter. In a bar trend that contrasts with buildings nearby. According to Rado, the appointment of moutrés ("mouth") on the corner, kind of guys widespread bodybuldés no hit with wicked heads together and bombs (not necessarily better equipped level gray matter). We
let's not go too late. Tomorrow, the last leg of our journey and about 70km bike to join BLAGOEGRAD. Our friends are waiting. The festival will begin.

First Way Station Visual Pathway Eye After There

Bulgariiiiiiiiie !!!!!


Bulgaria Finally! After passing through 6 countries, only 3 steps and we will be there. The Romanian galleys are forgotten. It's crazy the effect of a border. Once past the gargantuan meals based on traditional Bulgarian kachkaval as breaded chopska salata, chuchka burek, fries etc. siren was taped on a mythical dart contest on TV in English. Too hard these English, they managed to excite you for a contest between two piles of fat spiked with Guinness, sending their 3 arrows at lightning speed, causing hours of fun from the crowd gathered around (by eye, about 3000 british pints and sitting in front à la dietetic doubtful). Seen like that is not very sexy, but I swear that in Kiffa!
It was also that we take a little care of us, because even if the next day's stage looks pretty simple, along the Danube again, should not that be our little problems worse, because in less than 48 is a huge hill that awaits us. Last night, sleep was restorative, I have a sore knee and Tom found a parade in his saddle problems.
A small detail anyway, inland along the river on the Bulgarian side, there is no more spoiled than the Romanian side, except that employees work. The road is being built on almost the entire route, they managed to make us climb the hills that 3 poor There was the path and best of the best, seen nowhere else, even in Romania: the portion of 3 km with optional super venerated Paris-Dakar. Thick sand alternated with large loose stones, all at the entrance to a major city, Lom ... good job 100% Bulgarian.
breakfast and break the mountain towards the south. We finally left the Danube, which will be accompanied on the trip hundreds of kilometers from Germany. To leave Lom, he had to borrow a hill very steep and mostly paved road, very boring bike. And hop back of knee pain. For the rest of the stage, not much to say except that Because of that, we had to stop in Montana, 25 km earlier that e expected.
Montana, not bad at all. It looks a little less cute, in Blagoevgrad, the city where it goes: a nice pedestrian town center with shops, beautiful outdoor cafes, fountains, greenery, university and a large hotel with Hilton alllures the façade a little tired. That's where we decided to put our suitcases. Lobby concrete, cardboard room, but it does not matter. Considering the price, it does not cry too late for a mattress or a TV that works poorly. A special pillow for steel, you're doing a battle of duffel with, you can kill someone.
It must again be well rested and eat, because tomorrow is THE MONTAGNOUZE!

Scholl Outlets In Singapore

Romania, shall we say? ..... Ahooiiiiii heeeuuuuuuu!!

Get Up & Go! Beady sneaky and not via ADSL this morning. And because of this, or rather thanks to our Serbian friends. The beers were good and great conversations. We head into the "ua". And what awaits us outside the tent of our new friends? A hot coffee. Allez hop, my breakfast with friends!

We're going to 10h/10h30, not in Olympic form but happy. Directorate Romania, 15/20 km de là. Après un arrêt express à la frontière, où les douaniers nous ont gentillement épargné la file d'attente, on se retrouve au pied d'une magnifique côtelette de marque Peugeot : 12 km de mo ntée plus ou moins difficile selon les portions, en plus du soleil, ça nous a fait un peu mal après le p'tit déj. Plus d'une heure de grimpette sous 35°C et un genou en compote à l'arrivée pour moi : "HARDCORE" !!
Notre 1er contact dans le pays fût un type chelou dans un rade à Moldova Veche, parlant pas mal français. Pas méchant le gars, mais vouloir gratter 3€ pour nous avoir montré un resto, faut pas abuser. La couleur was announced ... It was going to be easy in this country. Was cleared quickly from the city rotten, because we had already fallen far behind on the timing. It was speeder without depriving themselves to admire the Danube. At this point, the river is bordered by mountains very steep, wooded and rocky between parties: an aggressive and imposing terrain contrasts with the calm water.
On the journey, not much to say except that we quickly regretted not having traveled Serbian side. Indeed, the Romanians decided to rehabilitate the entire road along the Danube, with the help of Europe ... great idea. But should s'mettre to work guys! Bitumen torn for miles (we started in "ATV") and workers in permanent break we lost a lot of time. You add the strays reverence and total lack of bars or any body of water over 60 km, nice ride quickly turned into a big mess.
Apparently, Romanians voted "no" referendum on tunnels. When the mountain fell down into the river, rather than making a hole in it, as the Serb side, they are a diversion with option "Alpe d'Huez. After yet another side to dodge a blank rock a little too steep, you meet in a village coffee (finally) and a "penciune" (sort of hotel) where we decide to stop. It is important to rest because the day was over 160 km to go to finally reach Bulgaria. We pass on the cake Tronches spotted in the bar because the owner was nice and comfortable: that's the key.
The banks of the Danube were a foretaste of the galleys we met in Romania. Today, hello hell, true! The Hungarian desert, next was a joke, because there, in addition to the heatwave, we were treated to all options: hyper aggressive drivers, insults villagers, always super highways rotten kids that we throw pebbles, hordes of angry dogs, no bank, no bars, not a cool person encountered in more than 300 km. In Romania, even the sunflowers do not want to push! Both say they gave everything to reach Vidin, Bulgaria our first step. My knee hurts when the day came the big climb and fatigue Tom that I could relay did not help. The only positive is we did not spend a Lei more than we gave Octavian on the boat. A
Carafate, we take the barge that brings us to the shore of the last country on our journey. Just avant d'embarquer, à bout de force, on a pu s'acheter 1 bouteille de Pepsi et 1 tablette de Milka : quel bonheur !! Je n'sais pas si c'était la délivrance ou le contenu de ces produits (dans ce cas-là, ça fait vraiment flipper) mais ça nous a fait l'effet de 8 Red Bull cul-sec !! On avait une patate de folie pour les 5 derniers kilomètres.
A Vidin, incroyable : des douaniers marrants, des habitants sympas, des boutiques, des bars, un bel hôtel pas cher qui faisait également restaurant, le paradis !! De quoi récupérer un peu de force pour les jours à venir, car le voyage n'est pas terminé. Nous sommes le mercredi 22 Juillet et l'objectif est d'atteindre Blagoevgrad Saturday to do the chug with our friends.
Before discussing the result, it seems important to conclude on Romania. Of course, by reading to us, it does not want to spend your next vacation. But we certainly have crossed one of the most idle parts of the country in a period of drought at that. People we have spoken of Bucharest, the capital, Costanza on the Black Sea, North and East, as being very nice and places to discover. So it was a stroke of bad luck and we'll see if curiosity prompts us to return.
Tomorrow is pushed to the foot of the Bulgarian mountains.

Football Players Showing Jockstrap

SRBI



Szeged Aaaah! We leave you with regret ...

Considering the price of the bedroom to shit it was, it was dropped on my breakfast. It took four days to eat.

Szeged is 15 km from Serbia, then we forget everything and start again on something else. Here we enter a country that knows very little and has fairly bad reputation, it's the least we can say. Even during our trip, people who spoke of Serbia discussed in the evil zealous police, corruption, racism, not very encouraging before you go. The episode

crossing the border should be detailed. Indeed, our Hungarian friends have built a brand new highway to rally neighboring Serbia. But we cyclists small, can not travel on highways. It is forbidden and very dangerous. So we continued on the old road. After the customs office was closed: roasting, barbed wire, signs "No Entry" visible goods, 2 hulains beings normally would have made half round ... not us!

We pass through a portion of fence that was pierced and it goes to the Hungarian border post at Hwy. Here, we explain that veut entrer en Serbie : imbroglio !! Ils ne comprennent pas comment on peut vouloir entrer en Serbie alors qu'on y est déjà. Le mec a du mal à communiquer avec nous et appelle ses collègues, puis vient le chef et enfin le chef du chef. Bref, on se retrouve rapidement entourés de 5 ou 6 douaniers hongrois plus ou moins énervés et des automobilistes qui se foutent de notre gueule en nous disant qu'on s'est trompé de route pour le Tour de France.

En les noyant sous un flot de conneries, dans un mélange incompréhensible d'allemand et d'anglais, en faisant la plus belle tête d'innocent possible, on réussit à avoir raison de leur patience et ils nous laissent aller vers le poste frontalier Serbian bbrrrrrrrr ......... Serbian Big Bad! We arrive before the official passport, stamp, thank you, hello! That good start ...

Rather than give you a chronological summary, I'll give you some overall impressions. Serbia is a beautiful country. The roads are good, nice, well marked and traverse beautiful villages where the inhabitants, very curious, did not stop to greet us. We can judge the atmosphere of a country in the first contact. It was called Jovan, selling a small grocery just across the border. Speaking excellent English, asking lots of questions about our trip, we left his number in case you encounter an episode with premises. That's what I call hospitality!

In Serbia, these are the people we have attracted. As the extraordinary Doucha: you drive in a small town, Tom is approached by a guy in a utility, he lives and works in France, in the Sentier, and invites us to a drink. He is 11, he still has work, he said we're going to Vrsac, the great city of the corner for lunch. It gives us appointment there in a typical restaurant. It is in the meeting, order fast, talks fast, laughs a lot, lots of jokes, talking business, he has no time, he has to leave, he takes notes, tells us review and he soon disappears: it was the tornado Doucha! After

Vrsac, it goes to Bela Crkva, a cute little pond where it was decided to pitch our tent before moving to Romania. The campsite reception is closed, keeper speaks nothing but the Serb: practice. A guy comes to our rescue: Milos is the other pleasant surprise of our stay there. He speaks English and quickly adjusted our installation problem. Later, we find ourselves with friends to drink a few beers and talk about lots of subjects. They all speak English, the discussion revolves around travel, people, politics, foosball, Serbia, on our journey ... They have a great interest in Europe and that Serbia out of its isolation.

This blog is not a political forum, but with Tom, we will still give a little advice on the matter. From what we saw, Serbia deserves at least as much or more, to join the European Union that some countries that are already here and we've been through, as Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria and especially Romania.

This country will be the subject of the next section, if you plan to go soon, read it before, it can serve ...
