While preparing for his last journey – he has no intention to come back to his flat in Lemberg (Lviv) – we get to know this remarkable person better. Levadski, son of two bird lovers had not an easy but an interesting life: born on the eve of the outbreak of WWI and on the sam...
The Rosetta Stone(which the Egyptians are not too happy about that it’s not in Egypt). Prepare around 3 hours for your visit if you’re not a history buff. But, if you are… well, you better scratch off some of the next stops of your itinerary cause you’re about to spend half ...
