END =)

well, i'll start from the begining, after other great Polish diner we decided to depart to the beach in the south of France. By the way, before Jorge's departure we painted the car, I attach some pictures. During our trip by France something sounded like pummmmmmmmmmmm
Fer: I don't have oil pressure.
oooo ooo...so we stopped and the car did not run anymore. The oil bomb did not turn, neither the fuel bomb and the delco, so the engine was death =(
we were in a private highway in France and we had to put the car out of there, at the beginning I though about runing but maybe Marius could have some problems, so we paid a wrecker and we left our lovely car in a scrapyard =(
Then we toke a train to Avignon where we slept in a park...again...jajajaja
It was interesting night, but by the time we were quite tired and the people there were a little strange. Next day by bus to Barcelona (my first time in that city) and then we rented a car to come back home. Yesterday I arrived home, this morning normal life, talk with my project director, look for a job, talk about phd (yes, I am thinking about studying phd) and come back to old things.
Now I feel that my Erasmus finished, I just want to say thank you to everyone who shared with me this year. I do not like to say names because for sure I'll forget someone, but I have to so thanks to all my neighbours, to my Czech and Slovak friends (guys, I became a little Czech after this year), to Krisi, to Elena, Natalia and Cristina, to Marcos and Sarita, to Faik (finally we did not meet in Krakow fucker :P), to all Spanish and Portugues friends, to waterparties (porque me encanta radiohead :P), of course to Tomas, Marius, Asta and all mentors, to all of you friends, thank you one thousand times =) (and sorry because I did not put all names of really good friends I did this year)
See you soon, without Lada but see you =)

near France!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello again =)
Right now we are in a McDonalds in Bern, it means really close to our goal :P
Bern is a really nice city, one of the best in my opinion. I was in love with Tallin but now I decided to cheat with Bern :P
Last night I got totally drunk because a Polish guy asked me if I wanted to drink Vodka in the old comunsit way, we all did it; well this way means to drink Vodka in the waterr glass
This days we are sleeping in Bern in Piotr's uncle place, we have Sauna, free Vodka and nice company =)
Jorge already left the expedition, because he had to take a plane to Spain to spend some days in the beach with his girlfriend. it was a pleasure to be with you in this trip Jorge.
The night before we slept in our friend's place, Miguel Gasca. This guy gave me a lot of Vodka ahoj (regards to German girls :P) and I got drunk again (I start to think that I have a problem)
The night before was one of te best, we stopped in Germany near a Motel, and the price was only 190€ for four people!!!!!!!!Awesome!!!!!!!!So, we decided to sleep in the parking of the motel, the guys slept in the car and I slept on the floor with the sleeping bag (thanks Marcos, the sleeping bag was really usefull)
I attach pictures of everything...I really wanted to write more, but everything is too fast and I don't have internete conexion so often =)
Tomorrow we go to France and in a couple of days we'll be in Madrid!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way, we have a Bearing fucked up and now it is really hard to hear each other speaking (the bearing sounds more than us :P)
Lots of kisses and regards to everyone

Virtual Showers in Československo

After one night in Československo (Checoslovaquia, Czechoslovakia) (Actually Slovakia) we have found several things that were surprisingly strange.
First of all, things are extremelly cheap! we ate yesterday in a roadside-bar for 7 euros each and we finished completelly full. Halft litre of beer cost 75 cents and a Student menu in McDonnals are for 3 tiny euros! That means that Československo has passed to be one of the desired countries to live!
Secondly, the hostel woke up this morning playing a strange noice remembering wall drilling. This disgusting noice made us to wake up 30 minutes before the expected time. Once we woke up, we tried to have a shower but we found the VIRTUAL SHOWER. we dont really know how to deal with them (we will post a photo later on). Those curious showers sound like if they work but there is no way to understand where the water is going to! If we discover where the water is gone we will write it!
Now it is time to walk around Bratislava and continue to Wien!
See you!

Red light :P

Well, since first day in Warsaw we can see in the car one big red light. We decided to call it the light of everything is right (la luz de todo va bien), this light is helping us everytime we have some doubts about the car, even about the way to follow...if the light of everything is right is switched on it means that everything is right.
I upload a picture of that light which is helping us so much.
From Krakow, Jaimito

Poland almost over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hello once again =)))))
I am glad to say that we are in Krakow and we are departing to Bratislava in few hours.
This is my second time in Krakow, and the more I know the city the more I like it.
Yesterday we went on party and it was really fun!!!!!!!!! I was dancing with Polish girl, and I don't know why I told her I am Lithuanian. Yes, I am stupid, and drunk, but not Lithuanian!!!!!! The girls was quite surprised, because my pronunciation is not Lithuanian at all. Anyway it was funny. In the morning I almost die, because we forgot the papers of the car, so I decided to come back and I parked in a forbiden place near hostel, it was in front of the town hall. In 10 seconds I had one policeman telling me things in Polish. Piotr was with me and the others were going to the hostel to take the papers, Piotr pretended he does not speak Polish and I was trying to tell to the guy in my Czech that the guys will come with papers. Stirri kamarada, dva here, dva papers...hahahaha...and then, prosim nie zloti, student, nie penalty prosim...Finally he saw that I was not going to give him money in hand and he also saw my surname and started to laugh and said...hahahaha...speedy gonzalez. Come on, go away. So everything fine. We already fixed the brakes, so now it is possible to brake without spinning. We also broke a wheel in the way between Warzsaw and Krakow, we put the extra wheel and yesterday we bought a wheel for 50 Zloti (around 12 euro), so I think everything is all right.
Much more funny things happened during the way, but I don't have space, neither time to tell everything, furthermore i don't remember everything :P
Sumarizing, Poland was great and we really enjoyed a lot, the car is still working and now we will not stop so much time in everyplace, so maybe next time will be from Austria or from Germany or even from Switzerland...who nows =)
I'm gonna upload the pictures tonight, now I don't have time =)
See you everybody, kind regards...hugs for guys and million Kisses for girls ;)

Warsaw, breaks fucked up, awesome food, awesome girls =)




Hi again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fernando is brushing his teeth next to me, maybe I should do the same....turururururu...
We spent two awesome days in Piotr's granpas place. Awesome food and from the very first moment we all felt like at home. I am thinking about living here forever :)
Warzsawa...mmmmmmm. It was a surprise for me, because many people told me that this city is worse than Krakow, even some people told me that it does not have anything interesting. Well, my opinion is completely diferent, I like the city, I like its historical center, I like how big it looks, so nice city.
The car trip was good, quite long but really good. Our departure from Vilnius was around 6:00 am, and we were in Warzsawa at lunch time.
During the trip we stopped in many villages, but my Lithuanian is not enoughgood to find a place where we could drink a coffe.
Labas, prasome kavine...
The weather so so, first day was perfect, really sunny day and much warmer than my whole year in Vilnius but today rain came back. I think I am carrying the bad weather with m
e, so be prepared in Spain because in 2 weeks you will have snow.
We also havfe a problem. Only one of the front wheels is breaking properly, we tryed to fix it here but it is not possible. Tomorrow we'll try to repair it in mechanic if the price is cheap, otherwise we'll try not to break so much :P
If it is possible we'll go to Krakow tomorrow.
So far that's all. I hope you all are enjoying whenever you are the same than me.
See you soon. I'll try to write from Krakow.


ps: we are going to do a fan site of calcedonia adverticement in facebook, Fernando has some kind of animal behavior and in Poland if you are a little, lets say strange, you can have in your car something like "wo super" =)

here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

uuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!
here we are!!!!
we already did the first trip km and I already have a lot of histories!!!!!!!!
Water and I departed from Vilnius after going to airport with Nata and Crispi =)
During this journey I drove between 80 and 100 km/h; problems started because how I am, I mean. If you know me, you know that I am this kind of guy who is worried about everything, and when i say worried I mean really worried =) I started to hear strange sounds all the time, so I started to have blood in my nouse, and also when I say blood I mean a lot of blood =(
When we arrived to Riga there was trafic jam, and the car started to overheat a little, that was the moment when I found out that the fan is not working. Problem number 1. It was kind of funny, because the warmer the car, the whiter my face.
Then we planned to pick them up in the airport, and guess......................again traffic jam!!!!!!!!! In the highway!!!!!!!!No way, Sara says that I was white, then purpure, then yellow, then red...and then I decided to switch off the car and wait there. People were starring at us like...poor guys, they broke this piece of shit...Damn them!!!!!!!!!
When I was able to restart the car, I went as soon as possible to the firs outway...ok, not out but in...yes, I drove in counter-direction 50m!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then I met them in the center and they had a surprise, well, more than one!!!!!!!!!
1. the diode dance (I attach video)
2. we have a rubbick cube
3. we have a notebook trip
Next day, we came back and Piotr drove. Quite faster, between 90 and 110km/h but still ok.
We went to trakai because Sara was in love with these Vistiena Kibinai and she wanted to eat one, it was matter of life for her =)
Then Limoo party, I got totally drunk, Jorge too ;) and we enjoy a lot. Today Vilnius with trolleybus penalty included (funny history, maybe I'll write it all in next days) and in few hours we are leaving to Warsaw.
We are trying to fix the fan right now.
I am happy with the car, but people are planning to drug me in order to shut me up because I am fucking pain in the ass to everybody. I am allways afraid :P
I hope I'll not have bloody nouse anymore in this trip and we'll enjoy a lot =)
Next stop Warsaw, see you there and I hope with the rubbik cube already solved!!!!!!!!!!!

Волжский автомобильный завод


Here we start.
Friday 12th, in the morning Sara and I are planning to go to Riga to pick up Fernando, Piotr and Jorge. We gotta check many things, oil level, antifreezer level, tires pressure...etc. I am so excited!!!!
I hope everything will be great.
The idea is arriving to riga around 8:00 pm and spend there the night, then we'll come back in the next morning to Vilnius, where we'll spend the last erasmus days.
I think that if I don't break the car in this first trip, I'll be more confident about our chances of succes.
The way from Vilnius to riga takes around 300 km, lets say 600 the roundtrip, I'll take some picture in Riga and I'll upload here, so that I can have a picture in every city I visit with the Lada.

Now I have to tell you something. My Lada is not Lada anymore, actually it never was. The real name of the car is VAZ.
Ok, this name can be familiar if you are from east of Europe or if you really have some information about this Russian cars, otherwise it will seem like I was lying three weeks.
Lada comes from the group AUTOVAZ (in Russian «АвтоВАЗ»), which before was only VAZ (ВАЗ, Волжский автомобильный завод, Volzhski Automobillni Zavod); so, if you take a look in the papers of the car you will see that the real name of the car is VAZ 2103 =)
VAZ is still building their cars, the factory is a big complex in the Volga centras region, maybe you knew them because their most famous model, it is the well known Lada Niva, this car is quite spread around the world and its new models are still being built, anyway you can easily see in the road a Lada Niva from 80's because this car has two things. The first is a huge gas consumption and the second is that it is strong like hell.
See you soon friends, and I hope see you with my car still working after first real trip Km =)
