1200 Km on three wheels

 

Yesterday I saw  a man who was parking his three wheeled vehicle close to the supermarket. He came from Switzerland and he had been driving his three wheled vehicle for 1200 km. 

On the environment front, the weather is still too hot here in Central Italy. Many tourists from North Europe and Canada say they would have never thought of such extreme terperature in South Europe. 

Speaking of tourists, I've noticed that foreign visitors don't like to have lunch or dinner at restaurants specifically made for them. They would like to meet both locals and tourist while they are at restaurants of coffee shops. I agree with them. Actually, tourists who visit my town always ask me for a place where they can have pizza or other typical Italian food. I don't recommend tourist-oriented restaurants  🍷 🍕🥣

Do you like to have breakfast or dinner in a restaurant mainly visited by tourists when you are abroad ❓

Have a lovely weekend ☀

Unrestricted smartphone

I took the photo below in Naples' metro (subway) last month. It reminds me that  leaving children with smartphone can negatively impact emotional regulation, sleep cycle, and mental health. Not to mention of harmful contents or predators. 

                   

In the next photo I share the image of three collared doves while they were sharing information on the highway. 

      

Have a great first week of the summer ☀

Writing on trains without permission

Writing on buildings or trains without permission is illegal. That's vandalism. 

Unfortunately, penal law doesn't prescribe the vandals' punishment as it should.

I would like to force the vandals to pay for all repair and cleaning. 

Have a lovely weekend 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃 ☀

A sign in Santa Maria's beach

While I was walking towards Santa Maria's beach, on the island of Sal, Cabo Verde, I saw some colourful signs written on the wood.

I wish you a lovely weekend  🌷☀🌼

Goats in Cabo Verde

 

As requested by Alexandra, I share more photos of Sal, which is one of the islands of Cabo Verde in the Central Atlantic Ocean. It's the first time I publish an Instagram-style post on my humble blog. Thank you for asking me, Alexandra. 

While I was watching goats in the Island of Sal, I was amazed by their ability to survive and thrive in hersh environment. I noticed that goats can withstand prolonged drought in arid zone or areas with poor vegetation, such as sub-saharian regions.                               

I also saw many black crows on that arid island.

Sal Island has on average 350 days of sunshine per year, and the "rainy" season is from late July to October.

I found a huge variety of street art on different corners of the islands, which perfectly matches the already colourful houses.

Cabo Verde is now the world's largest nesting aggregation for Caretta turtles. Hunting and harvesting such vulnerable species and their eggs is illegal under Cabo Verde's law. In addition, sea turtles' protections are heavily enforced by international treaties.

Have a nice weekend ☀

Back blogging

 Hello everyone. Just to say I'm back blogging.

I was pleased to meet this marvelous peacock in Sal Island, Cabo Verde. I saw it at Pachamama EcoPark, which is a magical botanical garden surrounded by desert on the island of Sal 🇨🇻

There were many crows despite the scarcity of  water in that African country.

Have a lovely weekend :-)

Wild Iberian goats

 

I've just got those three photos that were taken in the Cantabrian Mountains, in Northern Spain. My daughter encountered those creatures while she visiting that beautiful corner of Spain last week. It seems the goat disagrees with tourists :-) 🐐 

I hope I'll visit that beautiful corner of Spain. The good news is that there is now 2 hours and 45 minutes direct flight from Rome to Santiago del Monte, where Asturias airport is located.

I am stepping out back from posting for a little while.

Have a lovely new week.
