| Although we have been to Germany we didn't buy this postcard there. Looking back we think we got it in Zurich, Switzerland. According to information obtained from Wikipedia the Cap Polonio was built in 1914 and scrapped in 1935. Altogether it seems she was an unsatisfactory ship. You can read more here |

| Jerma Palace is the hotel we stayed in when we were in Marsascala, Malta. I have posted before about our experience here when we discovered the place was owned by Col. Gadaffi. He was in residence at the time and the hotel was patrolled by heavies.... REAL heavies! Scary! |

| Probably bought this in Switzerland along with the other ship postcard. This, like the other, was painted for the German Australian steamship company |

ReplyDeleteValerie, I am so enjoying these postcard posts you're sharing! I love them because they're so vintage and have a really wonderful feel to them. And as Brian shared, I think it's awesome that you've traveled to so many wonderful places.
ReplyDeleteThat first photo of the ship reminded me of the movie, Now Voyager, with Bette Davis because the movie poster has a ship like that on it.
Gorgeous cathedral ceiling. WOW!
Yup...Switzerland is another country I would like visit.
Thanks for sharing, dear lady! Enjoyed!
X to you and Joe!
I love all these postcards Valerie, you have done a lot of traveling.
ReplyDeleteCuban, they do bring back good memories.
ReplyDeleteBrian, fingers crossed that one day you will get to see a few places.
Ron, it took a while to get Joe interested in going abroad but after the first one there was no stopping him. Pity we can't do it all over again. You would love Switzerland, I know you would.
ReplyDeleteWonderful collection, Valerie! Such beauty!!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite post card of the bunch is the Musk Ox. Not sure why but that one really drew me in.
ReplyDeleteYou have travelled so many lands Valerie..the post cards are so lovely..and the dome of the Cathedral is so similar to the arched ceiling of our Victoria Memorial..loved the post..
ReplyDeleteHello cestlavie22. Thank you for visiting my blog. I bought the postcard of the musk ox for me because I liked the picture.
ReplyDeleteHi Ranita. I'm glad you liked the postcards. Yes, cruising made it possible to visit so many countries. It's a wonderful way to see the world, or some of it.
