Travelog for: Michel

The weather was very warm today, so we decided to go swimming and borrow a pedalboat.

1) on the pedalboat
2) pedalboat rental
3) a view with the Red Chapel in the Pastviny village
4) a view from the bridge

Hi mum,
I am fine! Today mailianne showed me the Pardubice chateau.  But she had low battery in her camera so we took just these two photos.

Today we were in Pastviny again. This time I saw the dam, the artificial lake and a lot of fishes

When we were coming back home we did a quick stop in Letohrad. Mailianne likes the Golem statues guarding the entrance to the press company called Golempress, so she took a few photos of them with me.

Novy Dvur is mailianne's favorite restaurant, but she has not been here for ages to have dinner. It also includes a museum of crafts.  We did just a quick stop here so we didn't eat anything and didn't see the museum.

Mailianne's TV Rishu arrived today. He will be my companion for following couple of days. 
(I am curiously looking at Rishu's postcard.)

Hi mom,
today our vacation started. First we went to Prague by train and then we used special bus to get to airport.
In the pictures you can see the Art Nouveau Fanta's Café in the Prague Main Train Station. You may know it from the music video of a Belgian group called Lasgo ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJvLDOV7SQM ).

... in the airport I watched aircrafts (the one in the picture is not ours, but looks very similar) and I found a new friend...

.... arrival to Naples and sailing on a ferry boat...

First day in Ischia we visited a botanical garden called La Mortella (it means Myrtle)

1) and 2) view to San Francesco beach from a street above
3) typical Ischian vehicle (it has only 3 wheels)
4) - 6) in the botanical garden
7) I hope I will win the Golden Bear for Best Plant with this photo
8) resting in a garden restaurant (Rishu was very tired)
9) The words in the circle around the fountain say: "This green arbour is dedicated to Susana, who loved tenderly, worked with passion and believed in immortality." (Susana Walton was the founder of the garden.)

Quick stop in Cassamicciola
While the pople were tasting some liqueurs, I was posing with figures and tried to start the three-wheeler.
It was a really bad rainy day, so we didn't take more photos.

Day four and the first big trip out of Ichia

We spent 1,5 h on a ferry and then we saw the archeological area in Pompei and Vesuvius
First two photos are from the ferryboat (the thing that looks like dung is a rope ), the rest from Pompei.
The weather in Pompei was very hot, so I didn't want to pose for many photos there. I wished I didn't have the sweater.

... and these photos are from Vesuvius

(btw. you can see a bit of steam in the first photo and Rishu said he feels like home there.  He thinks there surely must be other dragons in Vesuvius. )

Quick stop in Laco Ameno to see Il Fungo. Il Fungo (The Mushroom) is a 10-metre volcanic rock formation spat out by Monte Epomeo thousands of years ago.

What an amazing trip today! We visited a small beautifull island called Capri. In the first picture you can see the interior of the San Michele Church (another church with my name! ) especially the cool majolica floor depicting the expulsion from Paradise.
Other pictures are views from the Villla San Michele (me again! ) more precisely from its garden. The villa belonged to Dr. Axel Munthe and now it belongs to the Kingdom of Sweden and it's a museum. There is an Egyptian sphinx in the garden and it is said that pat on her ass by right hand will bring you good luck.
