These are the most beautyful fountains in the world.
The video doesn't do them justice. The lights, sounds, and ambiance are amazing.

We loved our time there and would go back in a heartbeat. Thanks for watching!!

This fortified church will take you back in time to the 13th century. It is a short drive from Brasov in Transylvania.
Your video is very interesting and informative! I wish you good luck!
Thank you, I am still working on my skills (filming and editing). Thanks for watching!!

This Gothic church is located in the heart of Brasov, Romania. It is worth a visit if you are in Brasov.

A tip. Add some music and text. It feels like I am watching Google Earth.
Thank you for your feedback and for watching. I normally add music. The program I use has changed their usage rights and several videos were flagged. I am trying to figure out a workaround. I have updated the video but it will take several hours for UA-cam to complete the changes.
I know I have a typo in the video, it should have been Aquila, not Aquilla.
Is the hotel located near to the center of Trabzon and Trabzon Meydan?
It is located near Hagia Sophia Mosque (Trabzon Ayasofya Camii). Thanks for watching

I've been driving diesels (BMW and Benz) for 15 years. My current ride is an '18 BMW 540d (one of only about 100 imported into the US). In "eco" mode...light traffic...dry roads...perfect driving conditions...I get 48 mpg at 65mph and have done 810 miles on a trip from Boston-Montreal-Boston on one tankful.
Wow, that is impressive. Thanks for watching
At that time you were in Mongolia (centeal asia). You came in asia minor 2.200 years later... Around 1100 A.D. ......

There is so much history in this area from WW1 with the Gallipoli campaign, the Dardanelles campaign, the Defence of Gallipoli or the Battle of Gallipoli. Prior to the bridge being built you had to take a ferry. It is one of only 6 options to cross the Bosphorus/Dardanelles from the Aegean to the Black Sea.
I have an 05 E320 CDI, same color, and did a very similar road trip last June from VA to Colorado. I had the exact same steering issue, heavy right turns, and had replaced the rack right before the trip. While out in CO I was reversing out of a parking spot and POP went my new rack and the exact same issue was back. Drove it home and put another (used) rack in, lasted another 6 months or so, and now its done the same thing. I have replaced almost the entire front suspension as well as inner and outer tie rods, and while trying to diagnose this issue I have been through 4 PS pumps (reman), 5 racks (2 reman, 3 used), 3 SPS valves (new), and a new set of high and low pressure lines including the cooler. I am at my whits end! Have you had any more issues since? I found this video through the forums, and was sort of amazed at the number of similarities.
I haven't had any issues since the replacement last June or July. I have been overseas for the last 3.5 months traveling. I will be back soon, and hopefully, it is still working as it should. There is a cv like joint between the steering column and rack (or just above rack) that can cause similar issues. I almost swapped it out as well. Thanks for watching
I just returned home and have been driving it for over a week. It is still working as it should. It was a little stiff when I got in, but it had been sitting for almost 4 months and only driven a few miles during that time.
This was a pleasant surprise stop between Bodrum and Ayvalik. Due to the call to prayer, I decided to not have any music.
There's almost always a few gallons left in the tank does the unit account for that if it does not that means you're getting way better mileage than what you are mathematically typing in
I have driven it down to 0 miles left when I left my wallet at home. I drove for about 5 miles before I could meet my son with my wallet. So there was probably a little left.
900 mi per tank?
Probably between 800 and 900 is possible.
Fethiye is one of my favorite places in Turkey. The Tuesday market is one of the reasons. So much to explore, the fruit and veg are fresh and delicious.
That's great my dear friend!!
Thanks for watching!!
❤❤
Fethiye is probably my favorite place in Turkey. A great mix of seaside, small town, very walkable, and extremely friendly locals. #travel #turkey #fethiye #marina #oldtown
The area between Trabzon and Rize on the Black Sea has so much to see.
Miniature park looks interesting! We are heading to Batumi very soon - thanks for the info!
Hope you enjoy it! It was pretty cool. The Musician's Park is a few minutes up the road, so you might as well check it out and it is free.

Hi, my 2002 E320 CDI estate car managed 43.5 mpg (UK gallons) overall on a trip from London to Glasgow and the last 100 miles of that was through a snowstorm where speed was reduced to 25mph in places because of reduced visibility. Cheers.
These have to be one of the best used cars out there that is not an EV or Hybrid. Comfort, style, mpg, and used price. My previous car was a 1993 Honda Civic hatchback I bought new. It would get 35-45MPG (US), but the comfort was not close to this car. My wife has a 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid, it is a little larger interior, has better MPG 45+ (shorter range due to tank size). The ride is not as comfy as my CDI though.

Would you do a road trip with a car having steering issues? Was this a bad idea and too risky?
Rent plz
I think I paid about $60 a night for the apartment.
Memories😢😢 I was there in 2018.
I can't want to go back at some point. We only had 10 days in Ukraine and spent time in Kyiv, Lviv and Odessa.
Awesome footage! Hotel looks great
It was and awesome hotel and great venue for wedding!!
Dang. I feel like I need to call and check on you after that drive.
We survived. It was much worse than the video shows, the stabilization kicked in to make it look better.
How was the process for renting a car?
I was quite simple, just needed a credit card, passport, and driver's license.
Wow! Tremendous video my friend. LIke😀👍👍 and sub! New friend.
Thank you so much 👍
nice. is there more of the feasting monkey, please ?
I will see if my wife got any video of the monkeys. I was trying to get pictures up close ;-) Thanks for watching
@@GeezerAbroad Thanks Geezer. I think everyone is likely to enjoy seeing more of that monkey.... but please don't consider it a priority. :)
I'd be afraid to drive on roads like that
There were some that were worse, but didn't get any video. Several had creeks that we had to drive through. Thanks for watching!
