VACKER STAD

Lucca är verkligen en vacker stad, med sina gamla hus och torn och murar.

LUCKY SHOT

Sometimes you got to be at the right place in the right moment to get a shot like that.

Nodoby else was there, just she, me and the Mediterranean Sea.

POESI

Jag fick denna poesi av en kund för inte länge sedan som jag vill gärna dela med er.
Vi diskuterade om hur viktig det är att ha självkänsla och ofta möter jag människor som avskyr kameran men ändå vågar på något sett att stå framför kameran. Då gäller att använda psikologie för att få inse människorna att de är vackra (även om de inte tror det).


Att älska mig själv

När jag älskar dig mer
än jag älskar mig själv
i själva verket älskar jag dig mindre.
Att älska mig själv mindre än dig
gör jag det svårare
för dig att älska mig.
Din kärlek för mig
beror så mycket
på den kärlek jag har för mig själv
Och min kärlek för dig
kommer bli starkare
om du älskar dig själv på samma sätt som du älskar mig.

Av Ulrich Schaffer

PIAZZA ANFITEATRO

If you ever come to Tuscany and the little mediaval town of Lucca which is gorgeous, don't miss the famous Piazza Anfiteatro, round and colourful, with outside cafés and restaurants, souvenir shops and lot of tourist just hanging around there.

EAGLE

Isn't he marvellous!

One of my secret wishes is to have an eagle. On our road trip in Ireland we came across a sign that said: AILLWEE CAVE, we thought this was a perfect stop for the day. What we didn't know was that there was an educational centre called BURREN BIRDS OF PREY with a lovely bird display and in the middle of THE BURREN.

Here a trio of pictures of one of the marvellous eagles that we had the chance to see flying.

GAP OF DUNLOE

Patrick and Queeny

We just arrived in Killarney and check in at Elyod B&B for the night. Mary the owner explains that she won't be there the next day, coz. she invited her friend for the GAP OF DUNLOE TOUR. We listen carefully and during the evening we decided that that would be a great thing to do, even though touristic and not really a bakpacker solution.

The next morning a small bus comes to pick us up and in Killarney centre we change to a bigger bus until we reach the Kate Kearneys Cottage. Here we change once more to a jaunting car that has place for 4 sitting person and our driver Patrick, a real irish farmer. The jaunting car is led by a lovely irish pony, Queeny. A 1 1,5 hour ride through valleys and mountain, lakes and rivers, an amazing landscape that reminds me a little bit of my home country Switzerland.

The ride stops at the Lord Brandons Cottage where we eat a warm soup and enjoy the company of the others sitting in the sunshine. To go back to Killarney a small boat waits and we drive slowly but surely among the zig-zag lakes of Killarney. Our driver is a well preserved man in his 60ies that jokes all along the trip. The sun is high in the sky and a few of us for sure gets a sunburn while back on land. Who would have thought that one can get a sunburn in Ireland!

The journey of 6 hours is worth all the investment done in the early morning. It's something special and it's a MUST while staying in Killarney. We arrive at Ross Castle where a bus is ready to bring us back to our B&B.

BICICLETTE

Biciclette ovunque nella bellissima città di Lucca.

I would like to share with you some pictures taken this year in January while having a pretty cold week in Tuscany and specifically in Lucca a wonderful little medieval town.

Theme today: bycicle, which is perfect to ride through the small streets of the old town inside the walls.
