Benefits of a campsite and the Alpla meeting

15 Sep 201212 Feb 2019 PP-Admin 3080 Views 2 min read

Actually, the roadway on the campsite was not so noisy during the night. Since we are the only ones on the site the showers aren’t open and we have to make use of the facilities in the adjacent hotel. So I let the hot shower run for a full 5 minutes

Meeting Zdroji Zywiec

12 Sep 2012 PP-Admin 2747 Views 0 min read

Sunshine greets us this morning. We still have another 2 hours driving to Krakow. En route we pick up a satnav, which leads us safely in the afternoon to mineral water bottlers Zdroji Zywiec. Our contact can see us only at 6pm, so we kill time by looking for a parking

From Ukraine to Poland

Sunday morning and it’s an 8 clock start taking the the Editourmobil in a westerly direction through Kiev. On the way, we have come to know all about the conditions of the road in the Ukraine. In the east, dire. The more west we go, the better the roads become. Our

Free time in Kiev

10 Sep 201212 Feb 2019 PP-Admin 2777 Views 0 min read

We allowed ourselves the luxury of a day in Kiev. Waldemar wrote his first articles. In the city itself, we marvel at the many, many churches, whose golden domes gleam in the afternoon and evening sun. Then it’s time for dinner and time to start thinking about tomorrow. We are aiming

PET Technologies and our first campsite

9 Sep 201212 Feb 2019 PP-Admin 2776 Views 1 min read

All our hard work into the wee small hours of the morning has undoubtedly taken its toll. Getting up is a real struggle and even a solid dose of caffeine fails to get us going. Nonetheless we arrive bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at our appointment with PET Technologies. This machine manufacturer was

Meeting Sandora

8 Sep 201212 Feb 2019 PP-Admin 2816 Views 1 min read

Rarely do I come across an interview partner who, without any prompting, provides me with print-ready copy describing his company. Volodymyr Yehorenko, Manufacturing Director, is one of that rare breed. Within the space of a couple of questions we know all we need to know about the juice market in the

Inter-PET, language barriers and helpful policemen

7 Sep 2012 PP-Admin 2755 Views 1 min read

We still need to find Interpet, and hopefully Anastasia has instructed the satnav on where to take us. We end up on an industrial estate and the satnav duly informs us that we have arrived at our destination. There is no name plate anywhere but peering over the wall we notice

Repairs again and Slavutich Brewery

6 Sep 201212 Feb 2019 PP-Admin 3172 Views 2 min read

Our overnight resting place was the premises of Retal where we enjoyed an excellent night’s sleep. As we emerge blinking into the daylight, an alarming thought slowly dawns on us. Our water tank contains water from the engine cooling system. Dare we take a shower in it? Normally cooling water consists

The second team, under the capable leadership of Michael Maruschke and Torsten Strauss, has successfully completed the section of the tour from Ekaterinburg and both Michael and Torsten have now returned safely to their home turf. Our assessment so far is very positive: true, there were one or two technical glitches
