Road trips have become a modern way of traveling, which offers freedom, independence and experiences that you will not find in travel catalogs. While many still go to well -known destinations, Young travelers are not afraid to go to countries that others would not even think.
The reader Gabriel, who decided to go by car to Turkey, specifically to Istanbul. But you did not choose a regular route. Gabriel from the west of Slovakia went east, where he went to Ukraine, where he went further to Romania.
Gabriel stopped in Uzhgorod, which is about 20 minutes by car from the Slovak border. He described how the entrance to the territory of the country where war was raging. “On the Slovak side it was okay, there it passed quite fast. They checked my car on the Ukrainian side, then a inspector was supposed to come, so I was waiting for some 20 minutes. I gave him a passport“he described the crossing across the border.
But the check continued. “Then another gentleman came, also checked the car, everything open, but Then they called me in and asked me why I was going there and that what I was doing in Serbia, since I was there in the past. They found them strange that I was going to watch the city. Then they were still interested in taking some drugs in the car and Why am I going alone“Gabriel said, adding that this wasn’t the first time he travels alone.
He spent several hours in Uzhhorod and sent the prizes of some food to the editorial office of Koktejl.sk when visiting local stores. Classic packaging of sausages costs 0.83 euros, for a larger package you pay 2.89 euros, the price of wheel drinks is around 1 euro and a can beer costs an average of 0.52 euros. However, our reader recalled that it was a shop in the city center, so it is possible that prices are lower in ordinary stores.
