Scotland II

kam sme isli tou lodkou, prinasame v nasledujucej "reportazi"
Navsteva suostrovia Treshnish Islands. Jeden z ostrovov sa vola Lunga a v lete tam zije kolonia Puffinov. Zdrzia sa iba zopar mesiacov. Vacsinu roka travia v Atlantickom oceane, ziju vraj na vode. Na Lunga ich privadzaju rodicovske povinnosti. Nakolko si chrania mlade, alebo sa neboja (jedna z tychto dvoch moznosti) mozete sa k nim priblizit dost blizko. Tento typek celkom zapozoval:

These pictures were taken in our trip to Treshnish Islands. We visited the Island of Lunga. This Island is special because during the summer there is a colony of Puffins growing up their little babies. You can come really really close to them. The reason will be.. or they are not afraid of human beings... or they feel like they have to protect their babies hidden in the ground.

Opat sme spominali na Fajery :)

It reminded us Faroe Islands :)

Vyhlad z Lunga ocami musle

Beautiful Lunga landscape

Tato lodka nas vylozila a po niekolkych hodinach prisla nalozit. Pristav? Ziadny... teda vlastne pardon, oni povedali, ze je to pristav. Prirodny. Jedna babicka, ktora sa tam tiez vybrala na vylet, ani nevystupila. Ostala v lodke. (vystupovalo sa rovno na take velke sutre)

This is the port... they called it natural port.. but there was nothing but stones :) One poor old lady even didn't force herself to try to leave the boat because the stones didn't seem very friendly for older people..

Dalsi ostrov bol Staffa. Nachadza sa tam taky isty utvar ako na Giant's Causeway. Akorat ze je z takych kamenov zlozeny cely ostrov. Dokonca sa da ist aj do takej jaskyne. Ale dost to tam smrdelo...

The next Island is Stuffa. The whole Island is made of the same kind of stones as Giant's Causeway. But it is bigger and you can also visit a cave... but it was pretty smelly.

Navstivili sme aj hlavne mesto, Edinburgh.. ale nie takymto busom... ten prefrcal okolo nas taaaaaaaaaaaaaaakouto rychlostou (rychlostou Photoshopu :) )

We visited also Edinburgh. This is a turist bus there.

Edinbourgh mi velmi pripominal Prahu. Je nadherny. Viac fotiek vam ukazeme asi az osobne... ved uz vo stvrtok ideme domov! :) velmi sa na vas vsetkych tesime.

Edinburgh ..to me.. is a bit similar to Prague. I loved the city center's atmosphere. You could feel the history.

Do Skotska sme isli na vylet na 4 dni. Zviezli sme sa s Robom a Simonou. Vyrazili sme vo stvrtok, 12 jula v skorych rannych hodinach na trajekt. Na trajekte sme sa dost nudili a cely den sme boli unaveni, lebo sme sa pred tym velmi nevyspali

We went for a short trip to Scotland in July with Simona and Robert. We were a bit tired the first day because we left Northern Ireland by ferry in the early morning hours.

na uvod trochu osobna fotka, aby jaro splnil co slubil. unaveni sme sedeli na kamenoch pri nadhernom vodopade

tired near a waterfall. Scotish nature is wonderful!

Jarino vravi, ze toto je najkrajsia fotka zo Skotska :)

Jaro says this is the best foto he have took in Scotland

V obchode s Kiltmi...

Kilts......

V piatok sme sli na celodenny vylet lodkou. Viac fotiek z vyletu neskor. Vyrazali sme z pekneho mestecka Oban (nachadza sa na zapade)

On Friday we went for a boat trip to Staffa and Treshnish Islands. We departed from a nice city in the west called Oban.

Najprv sme sa plavili trajektom na ostrov Mull. Tie trajekty tam inac brutalne znecistuju vodu. Ked sme sa vecer pred tym sli prejst, na kamennej plazi sa to smykalo... kamienky boli obalene sliznatou hmotou, asi olej, benzin, alebo podobny humac.

At first we took a ferry from Oban to the Isle of Mull.

Cesta trajektom na ostrov Mull trvala cca hodinku, tak sme sa po ceste zabavali tym, ze sme krmili cajky. Tato bola strasne drza, furt "krakala" a zobrala.

The ferry took us about one hour so we passed the time feeding the seagulls. They were a bit cheeky. This one, for example, was very noisy asking for some food.

Zavrela hubu len ked sa sustredila na chlieb letiaci k nej

It only shut up when it saw a peace of breat flying towards it's mouth

No a dokonca bola tak smela, ze si vzala aj z ruky. Tak sme sa skamaratili. Ked sme prestali hadzat chleba, kruzila nam nad hlavami a vsetci sme dufali, ze po jedle nebude vykonavat potrebu :)

Finaly it trusted me so much that it eat from hand

Vyhlad na ostrov Mull

The Isle of Mull

Po ostrove sme sa viezli autobusom a celu cestu nam sofer rozpraval zaujimavosti. Priviezol nas do pristavu, kde nas cakali male lodky. V pristave lovili kraby a toto tu na fotke su odpadky. Ked lovci pridu z lovu na kraby, pretriedia ich. Skapate by sa asi tazko predavali.

This is the crab garbage. I think that when the "crab hunters" catch some dead pieces they have to throw them away because thay wouldn't be able to sell them

Posledna fotka je z lodky. To, kam sme sa tou lodkou doplavili, bude nabuduce....

The last foto is from the boat. And where the boat was heading to? You will see it in the next post...

Salvador Dali, dom v Port Lligat
Salvador Dali, the house in Port Lligat

po stopach tohto jedinecneho umelca sme sa mali moznost vydat dvakrat. Prvy vylet bol nedaleko mestecka Cadaques, kde Dali byval so svojou zenou Galou (jeho zena sa casto objavuje na jeho obrazoch). Od jej smrti v roku 1982 (si to pamatam, lebo vtedy som sa narodila ja) sa do domu nevratil. Vsetko tam ostalo v povodnom stave a dnes sluzi ako atrakcia pre turistov.

The city we were staying in Spain was close to the house where Salvador Dali and his wife Gala lived. Dali abandoned this house when his wife died (she died in the house)

foto Daliho domu. Na streche je vidiet vajce, jeden z casto sa vyskitujucich motivov v jeho tvorbe
There were some eggs on the roof of the house. An egg appears often in his art.


Daliho sused mal stolicku na komine
Dali's neighbour's chair near the chimney

Lodky pred Daliho domom. Dodavali romanticku atmosfetu

Some boats in front of Dali's house. Romantic, isn't it?

Dekoracie tak, ako ich Dali doma nechal. Sviecky, musle, kamene, morske koniky... vselico tam mal. Jarovi sa pacil tento "krb v krbe"

The house's decoration was as they left it in 1982 when his wife died. Jaro liked this "fireplace within another fireplace"

Daliho atelier. Na specialnej konstrukcii je nedokonceny obraz. Dali pri malovani sedel a tuto konstrukciu vyuzival na posuvanie obrazu tak, ako mu to vyhovovalo, aby mohol pri malovani sediet.
The studio of Dali as he left it... some not finished paintings

Salvador a Gala spavali oddelene a dokonca mali aj oddelene kupelne. Z postele mali vyhlad na zrkadlo, ktore bolo nasmerovane na okno a preto Dali mohol vidiet prve luce slnka rovno z postele.

Dali and Gala slept separately and they had separate bathrooms.

V tejto obyvacke, ktora nemala rohy :) bola velmi, veeelmi zvlastna akustika. Neda sa to popisat, tak sa tam chodte kuknut. Bola to haluz.

The livingroom had a nice shape... no corners. The acustic there is particular. I can't describe it. You have to visit it!

Vsadepritomne vajcia... z jedneho sa vyliahol tento uteseny paaarik. (v pozadi zas vsadepritomny olivovnik)

A pair of chickens?

A tohto co sa vyliahne?

Who is inside of this one?

Na zahrade mali tuto zvlastnu sochu Cristo de la Basura sa to tusim volalo (Kristus vyrobeny z odpadkov)

Garbage Christ. A particular decoration of Dali's garden

Sucast dekoracie Daliho zahrady je Fontana Pirelli (fontana sa do obrazku uz nezmestila)

Pirelli fountain. Dali loved strange decorations

Posledny pohlad na Daliho dom a adios... ideme na iny vylet. O tom zase na buduce.

Adieu....
