      Parco Archeologico di Selinunte

      March 15, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Einer der grössten archäologischen Stätten in Europa, heisst es. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selinunt
      Sicher nicht die Einzige. Ca. 400 BC. Eine 2500 Jahre alte Wehranlage. Really impressiv.
      Die alten, erhaltenen griechischen und römischen Städte in Sizilien gibt es wie Sand am Meer. Die Schönheit dieser Stadt ist die Landschaft darum.
      Sehr schön finde ich den Blick auf die Akropolis von weitem.
      Das Becken in welches Thomas Wasser schüttet war wahrscheinlich das Waschbecken. Es steht an einer der Zugänge zur Akropolis.
      Auf einem Bild sieht man Wagenspuren. Die Räder waren damals aus Holz mit Eisen beschlagen auf der Seite. Damals, hatten die Strassen im ganzen römische Reich die gleiche Breite und die Abstände zwischen zwei Rädern war überall geich. Damit die wagen im ganzen Reich zirkulieren können.
      Das nenn ich mal eine sinnvolle EU Anordnung! Ich glaube nicht, dass die Zugschienen alle die gleiche Breite haben in der EU.....
      Das Symbol ist Teil eines erhaltenen Mosaik und stellt die phönizischenGöttin Tanit dar. Es soll ein Caducues (ein römischer Herald) die Sonne, eine Krone und ein Rinderkopf darstellen????
      Also mich erinnert es an das Frauenzeichen.      Read more

      Sandparking - automatische Waschanlage

      March 15, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Erst habe das Ding im Wasser bestaunt und dachte dass muss die sizilianische Version der automatischen Autowaschanlage sein.
      Dann sah ich den Traktor und dachte; Typisch, die Sizilianer brauche den leeren Strand als Parking.
      Erst als ich die Zwei Vehikel in einem Bild betrachtet habe wurde mir klar was sie sind und welche Funktion sie erfüllen.
      Wer weiss es?      Read more

      Tre fontane - Sandsurfen mit dem Auto

      March 15, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Als ich das Erste Mal über die Sanddüne auf der Strasse gefahren bin, bin och fast stecken geblieben. Die weiteren Male habe ich dann Dünensurfen mit dem Auto gelernt. Wirklich cool. Mit einem bisschen Übung kann man das Auto zum schlittern bringen!
      Allerdings glaube ich nicht, dass die Bewohner der Strasse in welche sich die Düne hinstreckt, da noch reinfahren können. Keine Platz um vorher zu beschleunigen und die Sanddüne ist sehr hoch. Sizilianische Verhältnisse halt:-)      Read more

      Tre Fontane

      March 12, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      Angekommen im Haus meines Bekannten. Ein wunderbarer Garten! ich fotografiere ihn wenn es nicht mehr windet.
      Freitag/Samstag/Sonntag es gestürmt wie verrückt. Die leeren Mülltonnen wurden im Garten herumgeschleudert. Eine Sturmböe hat einen grossen Tisch aus Eisen erfasst und 5 Meter weiter getragen.
      Fenster und dicke Holzläden mussten gesichert werden sowie alles was nicht niet- und nagelfest ist.
      Was bleibt zu tun? Essen, schlafen, lesen, netflixen und einen kurzen Strandspaziergang wagen. Nicht das schlimmste Leben:-)      Read more

      Palermo

      Mar 7–8, 2024 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

      Ich finde der Abfall ist weniger geworden, die Gastfreundschaft gleich toll und das sizilianische Licht so wunderbar wie ehe und je😍.
      Das Foto mir der Kreuzung: Die Ampel setzte auf grün, alle starteten die Strasse zu überqueren. Gleichzeitig winkte eine Verkehrspolizistin die Autos welche rot hatten durch, also zu uns welche überquerten?? So entstand eine Situation wo ALLE Verkehrsteilnehmer wie angewurzelt stehen blieben... lol. Woran die Verkehrspolizistin wohl gerade gedacht hatte?
      Die berittene Polizei, sehr adrett! Ich denke die sind ein Marketing Gag. Oder kann ich mir vorstellen wie die berittene Polizei Verbrecher in schnellen Autos jagt? Aber vielleicht per Pede oder Velo fahrende Verbrecher?      Read more

      Friday - it's the weekend!

      January 15, 2022 in Egypt ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      It's Friday and it's the weekend here so Kamal, Umna's husband, came out with us.
      We went to old Cairo and the markets.
      Very colorful markets with spices, fabrics, jewelry and more. Men praising their goods, loud music, all very busy. People enjoy their off day with a stroll through the old town and an outing into restaurants.

      Clothing-wise there is everything from whole covered women (burka) and man in their traditional galabeya to western clothing in jeans and t-shirts for both men and women.
      Also not all women cover their hair.

      Besides old Cairo we visited, a Derwish tempel (Sufi religion, a branch of the Islam) and two mosques. I love the outlay, the artwork, the lightening in the mosques. Stunning. The energy is very good, soothing. I find that in places where there have been prayers for many centuries the energy usually is very soothing and peaceful.

      I'm very fortunate because Kamal is a famous Egyptian director of photography and documentary films. You will notice the pictures are very good. Credit goes to Kamal!

      I bought a amethyst and had it made into a ring. The amethyst was six dollars, the silver and the making 45 dollars. I love the ring.      Read more

      Cairo - 21'000'000 humans beings!

      January 14, 2022 in Egypt ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Cairo is the second largest urban agglomeration in Africa (behind Lagos). The largest in the Arab world and the Middle East.
      The he sixth-largest in the world.. 21.3 Million inhabitant. WOW.

      When Umna picked me up at the airport I asked how long the commute would be. She said two hours. I thought she joked. She did not!

      Umna lives with her husband. The second of her daughters just got married and moved out. Children live with their parents until they marry, no matter the age or gender.

      When a man and a woman marry the who pays what is set.
      The parents of the bride pays for the engagement party, the parents of the groom pay for the wedding.
      If the bride to be does not have a engagement party, the cost for the wedding are split.
      The apartment/house is paid by the parents of the groom. Furniture, electrical appliances and everything else one needs down to the teaspoon are split.
      In Cairo, everything has with a wire (electrical appliances) is usually provided by the parents of the groom. In the countryside its the parents of the bride:-).

      In 1998 a genius business man with visions sold sand in the desert to interested parties. He decided to build homes in the desert. It was the first big gated community built in the desert. The plans existed only on paper, it was a dream, hence the name.
      It was a crazy idea back then. Umna and her family moved in in 2005. Coming and going they drove through the desert.
      It's very cold here. Although it's 10-15 degree, it feels like below zero. A cold which possesses your whole body down to the very last cell.

      I had a long day, so going to bed early.

      When again is the flight?

      January 12, 2022 in Switzerland ⋅ ⛅ 0 °C

      I've been to Egypt and Cairo in 2006 and the experience was not at all pleasant. Telling this Umna, a cousin of my friend Nadja I met in Switzerland, she commanded that she must correct  this experience and invited me to come see her.
      We also had one of these immediate connections.

      I've been wanting to learn Arabic since I was 20 years old.

      1. Attempt in 1982 in Jerusalem. At the time the best University to learn Arabic. Could not go - my father who had to fund me did not think of this Idea as the brilliant Idea I thought it was.

      2. Attempt 2005 in Damascus. Had everything ready. VISA, school, Family stay - then the situation became difficult in Syria. Did let it go.

      3. Attempt will be October 2022

      So I'm going to see my new friend Umna and her family. Immerse in local culture and make plans for October.

      Who knows me, knows that on all my travels several mishaps happen - mostly me being clumsy, unaware, forgetful... Missing flights, showing up with ID instead of passport at the airport, loosing important stuff like passport, ending up in Hospital and more of it.

      I am also very bad at orientation - a friend of mine always wonders how I can travel the world with such a bad sense of orientation, even google maps can't help me... yeah, but I get to talk to a lot of people because asking direction and obviously also get into a lot of adventures because their direction is approximately or just wrong to save face.

      This time it almost happened before I even left. I thought of my travel date Wednesday the 13.1.2022. Knowing me I took a good look at my ticket... what???
      The 13. is on Thursday? Why???

      Pffff.

      I'm very excited to go. Also, it has been 6 month I came back from my last travel. Torture for my soul and spirit.

      Talk soon!
