What to see in Prague: The museum of alchemists

Prague is a city that has much to offer tourists, many things to see, rich in history, known and less known, sometimes even obscure, as evidenced by a visit to the Museum of alchemists and magicians of old Prague, which builds the “work” of those in Prague were devoted to the study of those who once were called the “dark arts”.

As king of much of eastern Europe in the sixteenth century, and even then ruler of the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolph II is not remembered as a particularly powerful ruler or even effective in government, but he is widely remembered for his interest and his patronage of the occult arts. It was during his reign that Prague became the unofficial capital of the dark arts. Continue reading “What to see in Prague: The museum of alchemists”

Inescapable paradise; Tortola, British Virgin Islands

What’s not to love with a paradise whose people start every conversation with warm greetings? Hitchhiking is even possible with a pointy finger, welcome to the splendid tourist destination of Tortola, the capital island of the British Virgin Islands. Remember to say the appropriate greetings of the day every time you ask for directions or if you want to hop on for a free ride. As such, for the well-off travelers, just rent a charter boat to see more of the islands where you can simply anchor on one of the breathtaking islets and lagoons and do some splendid snorkeling. For those on budget, there are plenty of cheaper boat rides that can take to you to the nearby islands that are equally breathtaking.

Once you get to the mainland, safaris are the typical mode of transportation; they’re just modified pickup trucks resembling an open jeep. There are not so much to see in the mainland except some notable original wooden houses taking away about 5 seconds of your interest. Nonetheless, you will find plenty of shops with fantastic souvenir items to bring home. Don’t forget to visit the Main Street to see interesting art galleries and the Cockroach Hall standing on a huge rock. Continue reading “Inescapable paradise; Tortola, British Virgin Islands”

What to see in Wroclaw, Gothic Town Hall of the city

Wroclaw in Poland, is a city of over 600,000 inhabitants in southwestern Poland, towards the borders with the Czech Republic and Germany, just to give a first indication. Crossing the river Oder, the city has always had a troubled history, with lots of invasions of the Tatar, Swedes and Saxons, until after World War II, when the German city since the middle ages, with the whole region of Silesia, was assigned to the Poland as compensation for war.

As the whole of Poland, Wroclaw also is enjoying the economic revival that crosses the country, also because of the low cost of living, and low-cost airlines, which have made it an interest tourist destination in the center of Europe.

Strange Buildings, the Brazilian castle in Scotland

It is certainly not the largest castle in Scotland, but Kelburn Castle, 35 km west of Glasgow, is certainly the most striking and original castle in this part of Britain. Forget the traditional facade gray or brown that can be seen on most of the castles. A range of vivid colors and large in size, bring this XIII century building directly into our modern age.

Graffiti project, so was renamed this operation, started in 2007, when the owner of the castle, The Earl of Glasgow, it was said that it was necessary to remove an entire part of the building constructed in concrete, because it was unsafe: part that was added to the building in 1950. But at this point intervened the sons of the count, which have convinced the ‘Santa Claus’ to ‘graffiti tare’ this part of the castle, before it was removed.

Spectacular natural scenery, Thor’s Well on the Oregon coast in the US

Thor’s Well, almost sitting on the edge of the Oregon Coast, seems a mythological gaping hole over the abyss, which does not fill ever, despite the uninterrupted flow of sea water that disappears into its depths. But Thor’s Well, not to be confused with the wedge of Odin, it is not bottomless, although it still remains very dangerous.

Also known as the exhaust pipe of the Pacific, in its “desecrated” version, the well is actually a hole in the rock deep probably only about 20 meters, nothing to do with the giant open pit mine in Siberia. But even if the well at the end is not as magical as it may seem, it is still a great place for taking pictures, preferably with the backdrop of the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean.

Skiing in Innsbruck city in Austria

Skiers know it; the hardest part is the preparation. The outfit in the morning, the arrival to the systems that lead to what is in altitude, with the car if you are staying away, and then the lift on the slopes, where you wear your skis and, finally, skiing.
