Biserica Sfinții Apostoli Petru și Pavel, aka Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul - Ghimbav, Romania near Brasov and Bran. You could visit from Bucharest if doing a day trip to Brasov or Bran.
Below info is from the Brasov Deanery website

The idea of a new church in the town of Ghimbav was born when priest Comsa Dumitru came to the town in 1995.
After several years of trials, with the help of God, in 2006, the foundation stone of the new church was laid, which will be built across the street from the old church, next to the new city cemetery opened in 1995.

Bosphorus Dinner Cruise - Istanbul, Turkiye (Turkey)

A Bosphorus (Bosporus) dinner cruise is a must do if visiting Istanbul. We did it in 2021 and again in 2024. However, it is a very touristy thing to do as locals don't typically go on these. We did it as part of the Istanbul E-pass, unlimited drinks were about $10 more. The views are amazing with the palaces and mansions along the water. You are on the Bosphorus between Europe and Asia, which i...

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 RUclips 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. ......
thanks for watching
That's wonderful my dear friend!!!
Thanks for watching!

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.
You might like this video as well.. The joys of a Merc ruclips.net/video/zDvszfycCZg/видео.html
I can only get about 32mpg in mine.
I have hit about 39 mpg
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!
Hi! bravo- you uploaded stunning video-work! see ya!~ =))
Thank you very much!
This was a great location for spotting whales and dolphins.
GeezerAbroad,how ggreat - :)
Thanks for watching
Omg,so pro upload-talk yo ulater,amigo.=)
Thanks 😅
I noticed you have the pano roof. Does yours still work? I don't use mine because the passenger side has an issue that I cannot figure out on my own. It's off the track or something. Difficult to find an independent that will work on a roof. It whistles a little bit, but I've gotten used to it. My favorite car ever!
Mine just clicks when you push the button. I also don't use mine. It is an awesome car though!
Looks great! Now get cold one out the fridge, light the braai and take a break on your deck - you deserve it! PS - that is a lot of weight you lost - wd - and no, I am not going to building a deck... ;P
Sounds like a great plan!
Great Video. I'm Your Fan
Thanks for watching
What a stunning area.
It is an amazing area!
can the e320 cdi handle short trips to work 7 days a week. like 6 miles to work.
Yes, absolutely. I used to drive about 6 miles and got around 26-28 mpg. It will depend on the amount of traffic of course, can drop a bit if you are stuck in bumper to bumper traffic.
@@GeezerAbroad i dont mean mpg. I mean its a diesel and alot of new diesel cant handle short trips to work.
@@gittejakobsen177 I haven't had any issues. My commute has been 6-10 miles since buying it and has been fine so far in 5 years. Since 2020 many of my trips have been under 5 miles to the store, etc.
E320 CDI's don't have a DPF system, so the only real concern is water concentration in the oil. Just change your oil more often than factory spec and you'll be fine
Moving there 😊
It is a nice beach area and some great food options along beach road.
I lived a total of 40 years in Atlanta and never heard of the circus train wrecking until just before I moved away. I think this weird nature center opened around 1990. A colleague of mine visited the place and showed me photographs. I did not feel inspired to go visit the center myself, and I was horrified that they had such ugly statues of little Atlanta-area children. Now I find out those were supposed to be in honor of dead monkeys. I still do not wish to visit.
I live not far from the nature center so I decided to check out the statues. It was a bit strange. My family has been in the area for over 130 years and never heard about this massacre before. The house at the nature center was my late neighbor's birth home that was relocated there.
I"ve been in Albufeira last Week and Honestly since i was alone there i just visit Old Town at Night just walk for 20min see whats in there and whats going on but didn't seen Much. Definitely up 10pm the Party is on..
I agree, a littel further down the road from the last scene of the video there were several much louder clubs. Thanks for watching
Most of the jews there were deported to Belzec throughout the summer and fall of 1942.
Thank you for that info and watching!
Beautiful coastline in that area. It can be a party area during busy months.
Yes I agree. Thanks for watching!
You either love or hate Albufeira. As a vacation spot it might be ok, but not sure it would be a great place to live due to the number of tourists. What are your thoughts?
Good luck on growing your channel.
Thank you
