Breve resoconto estivo an avalanche of things have happened and all in August!
June was quiet July was nice as the month and full of things that I got, but beats them all in August, has been overwhelming.
No wait.
but not overwhelming Overwhelming
Oh damn, a lot has happened but I would say .. no.
"Why not?" Oh no. I keep them for me.
say that since 4 am on August 1 I expected a roaring start this month, but I did not expect the avalanche of situations, things, events, people, messes, crying, hysterical, obscene acts in public place (or not) followed each other relentlessly in any order.
I was in Procida in the first weekend of the month and it happened everything is so 'fast that I could carry around for my last breath and sweating purchase a nice Canon SLR (which I played for the Maronites to an endless list of people, but I have to thank Fabio and Clara for their patience and Peter and Carlo for business consulting)
In this first weekend with the sea I squander local walks, the casino field, vehicles (these are crazy with their small bus! but how they run? Death takes a hand on my shoulder all the way), the pizza with the "frame", Terra Murata in his prison, the renowned and famous Corricella, family homes, the kitchen Salvarani blessed, and I took photos pictures (terrible the majority) in the teeth of the wind and the sand lifted. I was told "Now you have the reflex to treat her well and avoids the sand and the beach." Sure. But while taking pictures of the breathtaking views I'm screwed and I have opened the season around with the healthy indifference. I went into the water with her! With Children ran on the shoreline of shit that (occasionally lifting the sand) or water (splashing straight target).
slander.
And I also did try others! And they say they are reluctant to give these things, especially the last shopping .. I have promised for months to get me to ride a scooter, but I first bought it I think. Then maybe try to do it!
I also found the time to peel them because I have not even brought with me to practice sun protection. And because we visited the sites with less shade in the history of the island at times very responsive, like the 12.00 or 14.00 of the afternoon. No but .. compliments.
were (almost) 2 intense days that rivivrei with pleasure.
E 'was great even the outward journey, with trains to change and take the ferry from depending on arrival time, trip that forced me to discover the station Campoleone in a different light: that of 5.30 in the morning!
I expected but 'still a long journey, one in Scotland.
And this was not a trip recently, Scotland has a lot of history, landscapes, cities' and after seeing photos of the trip my brother I thought "Wow, the goal is extraordinary!" We have reluctantly accepted the
'inability' to rent a car, then you have defined the various stages and various means which we found made it possible to organize our long ride.
But not content before flying to the land of the so-called stingy I made a trip to another land populated by equally Popular stingy, as well as my city 'Christmas: Genoa.
Here I spent some time that allowed me to take photos of a roar, and try to take all means of transport provided by the city including trains, buses as well as lifts, funicular, cog railway .. I did not even miss the train to Casella is very charming and very hot!
So, I turned to Genoa well as I've ever done in many years, and I felt really a tourist, even if the time (not meteorological) was a bit 'tyrant!
Special Mention for Genoa, which proved polite, friendly and very helpful. A nice surprise! (I am, that is why the portrait kindness .. but you do not laugh or break your face .. dell'affabilita 'or dell'affamabilita' .. depends on the availability and '..)
and Scotland? All I did not even have time to go home, visit my family, empty the suitcase that I had to do it again soon and this time with a lot of stuff but much more 'heavy, among thousands of indecision about how and whether to give up wearing underwear pants or not the latter, that I ran in Rome waiting to catch the plane.
Although there have been delays and boarding was not one of the best (ho visto calpestare una donna caduta a terra solo perchè eravamo tutti disperati e in cerca di posto a sedere a bordo) la vacanza scozzese è partita a razzo e fin da subito abbiamo capito che il soggiorno nella terra britannica sarebbe stato qualcosa da non sottovalutare..
Il giro in senso orario della Scozia è partito da Glasgow ma a parte una veloce toccata e fuga alla citta' con visita al giardino botanico abbiamo subito raggiunto Stirling, seguita da Oban, Fort William, Kyle of Lochalsh, Inverness, Aberdeen, St.Andrews e infine Edimburgo.
Glasgow is a bit 'monotonous and perhaps did not deserve equal attention, but Stirling is very pretty and holds a small country Scottish culture through architecture, mentality ', traditions and castles!
Apart from the Japanese way.
Oban was a wonderful surprise, this lovely seaside town is very picturesque and apart from a visit to the distillery, having photographed the tide and having eaten a great fish and chips, do not forget me 'ever hour on the boat around to see the islands, seals, salmon farming and sea. The experience I have found it wonderful and liberating. I like to go boating!
Fort William non mi ha entusiasmato molto se non per la stradina commerciale con le sue facciate tipiche, i pub, i negozi, il fiordo con pontile in teoria non accessibile ai non addetti, che comunque non rendevano speciale una localita' prevalentemente invernale vista la vicinanza con il Ben Nevis, una zona montuosa molto rinomata. Qui abbiamo potuto assistere alla partenza del trenino a vapore che si fa un percorso molto affascinante for the Scottish moors, both used in the filming of the various Harry Potter. The Glenfinnan Viaduct is seen in the second chapter of the saga is by train (no steam) we passed on it!
Kyle of Lochalsh has been sent. We went from Fort William to Mallaig to catch the ferry, go to the island of Skye, Kyle of Lochalsh to go and reach the hostel Ratagan. Apart from that it was really out of the civilizations', the trouble is that this place did not offer anything.
If the beautiful castle of Eilean Donan where we have made a (nearly) the evergreen Highlander!
In Inverness we were greeted by a beautiful sun and .. 2 police officers! One was so 'nice (and pedantic) to accompany the hostel, which has made us special for 10 minutes.
Oh I can not say if the impression I had was to have an escort or being under arrest! It is a fact that makes laugh.
This beautiful town has fascinated us all, perhaps returning in the middle of Tesco has reassured us more 'than anything else! Beautiful river, beautiful hostel, beautiful city '!
train we eventually reached Aberdeen on a rainy and chilly. And 'this picturesque destination but gray in the architecture and the time has certainly not helped to saturate a bit' more 'colors.
St. Andrews been a goal a bit 'painful at first, it was not clear how it was possible reach down to Edinburgh.
E 'was more' easy to get to Dundee and St. Andrews to take half and then go back and point to the capital.
and wonderful postcard place, young people are a bit 'stoned at first glance, fish & chips also good because it is a fishing village as Oban here fishing is great! We have yourself a nice walk to the cathedral that is nothing but a collection of ruins of a building existed centuries ago and now at the mercy of the weather. Some have upright tombstones from temporary visa that we could not help but take them!
The last stop was Ediburgo but I experienced a bit 'evil and the City' has failed to please me. I give 'another chance for sure. The castle is
costosetto and celebrates a bit 'too much military life of the Scottish troops the greatest moments in 85,674 battles. The only thing that struck me is a pet (dog laws) stuffed! Photos and video of the cannon that fires every day at one o'clock! Cute
the festival but that 'if you do not follow and you do not catch him alive and I feel very poor, cute pictures of Bobby and Greyfiars rite around the shopping centers, including a Worcester sauce and a Rose Street where all the local called "Rose's something" or "Something's Rose!
But the Canon has abandoned me halfway 'day, making nice externalize religious epithets.
Poi all'improvviso tutto è finito. Mi sono ritrovato a provare ansia per il trolley troppo pieno, a non respirare nel lounge in attesa del volo per Ciampino che li mortacci vostri annunciate coi cartelli di carta scritta a penna, a scappare dal gate perchè in teoria dovrei provare a ficcare la mia borsa in un vano misuratore fallendo miseramente, correndo per riuscire prendere i posti migliori a bordo.
Felice e soddisfatto della vacanza, ma anche della compagnia che mi ha circondato per tutto questo interminabile tempo e che, volente e nolente, ha assistito ad autentici momenti di scazzo da parte mia.
Quelli ci sono sempre. E ci vuole tanta pazienza!
E poi eccomi a casa.
Qui ho salutato i miei, raccontato di tutto a mia madre, undone, however, that the trolley 'was full of stuff washed and arranged before returning home. I downloaded the photos but I have not seen anything now. Time to see a little 'mail, look Facebook (there was time to do so on the go) and listen to their favorite music.
After 22 days I sat a moment on the couch in the living room, having just finished talking on the phone with a friend, and them 'I made a small thing that I have no home at all.
It is no small thing. For me.
"In the face .. I thought you said you would not say anything? All we need is your boarding pass places and documents of all present! " Actually ' There are still many things to say. But no, those are mine alone.
I like to create suspense ..
Nothing is over.
For now.
the next trip!
