Aurora Borealis In Photos

«Северное сияние» на Яндекс.Фотках

About 2 or 3 years ago one of the most loved anchormen of the Italian TV, Mike Bongiorno (dead a month ago), wanted to partecipate on an expedition to the North Pole. He was more than 70 years old. So, I think, if one wants to see the Aurora Borealis, there have to be special tours and there are possibilities to visit one of the cities like that where the author took his photos.

The author of these photos lives in Norilsk. I've seen many photos of Aurora Borealis. I wrote about a special site and the "championships" for the best photo of it. They were beautiful, the photos, but "photoshopped". And they had no landscaft there. It seemed not natural. That is why I like these photos.

Soaring In The Clouds

I read many romantic books about Greece when I was a student. No, not about the antient times. About modern life. To be more precise, about the places of incredible beauty. And about orthodox monasteries where the life is so as it was centuries ago when the founders come here. In those cases when the women can enter the territory of the monastery, they have to wear covering clothes, the trousers are forbidden too.

Places like this, Meteora. The name means "soaring in the clouds".

Is It Posible To Plan A Trip With Iberia?

First of all I can answer the question: NEVER plan a trip with Iberia!!!!

About 3 months ago my husband asked me to see how much cost flights to Buenos Aires. He was born there and wants to visit his relatives. I opened some sites of low cost flights agencies and than companies and suddenly found a possibility to go in Argentine and to return with only 600 euros. If you know the prices, you understand that it was a great fortune for us.

One month later began something incredble: every 1-2 weeks we receive mails that the flight was cancelled and we have to contact Iberia to change the date of the flight. Today we received an other mail and it is the 4 (fourth!!!) change of the flight:

	Stimato Cliente: Le informiamo que per cause operative,il suo volo IB6845, MADRID EZEIZA del giorno ... ha modificado l'orario. La preghiamo di mettersi in contatto con noi. Grazie.

The most interesting in this story of changes is that we have to contact every time a paid number of telephon and to speak with a representative about 30 minutes-an hour to find the best solution of change.

Now the question is:

HOW MUCH will cost this flight if there are 2 month till the vacation else and if Iberia will change the flights every 2 weeks, for example?

PS.

I called Iberia paid Client service (14,26+20% per minute). Could you imagine what was the reason to obbligue me to call them? Sit hard on your chair. 

I had to call that PAID client service to know that they've changed

THE NUMBER OF THE FLIGHT!!!!!!!

Following The Path Of Piligrimage

I wrote many times about the castels in this my blog.

About the castels of our zone (Castles of Campania, Castles (2)),

about the different types of castles ( The Types Of Castels)

and I began to "visit" castels on the path of the piligrimage in the Holy Earth, from the North of the Europe to Jerusalem.

I did not know about it till some months ago when one of the girls of our Archeological Group, student of the history of art told me it. If you notice on a map all the most important gothic cathedrals and monasteries, she said, you will discover the Path of the Piligrimage used by medieval believers to reach Jerusalem.

Every later cathedral was built higher and bigger than the previous. To attract piligrims. You see, the world is not changed from that times. Every more or less interesting place lives and lived only to attract visitors. :0)))

The abbeys were very important healing centers too.

Now I want to post here the list of the gotic cathedrals. This list I wanted to study in the next week and want to make the map to see if the girl told me the truth.

Cathedral de Burgos, Amiens, Chartres, Notre-Dame, Siena, Salisbury, Canterbury, Milan, Salamanca, Barcelona, Sevilla, Toledo, Gerona, Estrasburgo, Colonia, Leon, Mallorca, Reims, Vienna, Segovia, Florencia, Lincoln, Oviedo.

Vacation In A Hotel In The Mill

My friend from Czech Republic turned back from the 2-week vacation they passed in a mill. She sent me these photos and told with great delight about it. A young couple of owners decided to live in the way the millers lived some centuries ago.



Probably they found the only right possibility to manage the property and are young enough to have great wish to play else.
Somebody said that the best teacher etc is that who is younger than 40 years because has the desire to play. Maybe it is not completely right, I think. But...





This couple offers not only many things to do to their guests. They live in a splendid place as you see.
They offer great in all senses plates to eat too.



They, the owners, wear their "special" clothes not only to work with the guests during the day. Even in the morning they had clothes of the epoque.



My friend has a 10 years old son and they were very happy when the owners offered a "strange" game to the children. They,children, had to look for a treasure in the night and found a "water spirit" under the bridge that asked them to give him a piece of cake.



If you want to look at their site search for "Martinský mlýn". I could not open the site unfortunatelly. Maybe I'll add the address next days when my PC has more wish to collaborate.

St. Andrew In Amalfi

The Cathedral of Amalfi is built over the crypt with the relics of St.Andrew. I don't want to tell you the story of this Apostel, you can read it in Wikipedia. The only thing I want write here:

Cardinal Pedro born in Amalfi took the relics there in 1208 from Constantinople. They ar in this crypt behind the grating you see on the photo.
