Some more postcards

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

The famous dome in the cathedral in Florence, Italy

This postcard speaks for itself. Switzerland was a wonderful place. 

A Musk Ox, or ovibos moskusen to use it's proper name!
I think we were in Norway when I purchased this postcard

Marsascala, Malta

Port de Pollenca, Mallorca

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!

Porto Pollensa in Mallorca

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

Hotel Puerto Palace, Tenerife

The ornate pulpit at the Cathedral in Amalfi, Italy

Postcards of Scenic Sorrento

Found these postcards when I was sorting through a cupboard so I thought I would share them. Scanners are wonderful things!

All the pictures are of Sorrento which, as many of you know, is one of my favourite places. The next picture shows Marina Grande, which is THE most wonderful harbour. Happy hours were spent there watching the fishermen, browsing round the stalls, drinking coffee, having wonderful meals in Italian restaurants, or simply idling the time away.

Marina Grande, the most photographed harbour.

Looking back at the hotel

Hotel swimming pool

The Bel Air - built into the rock. 
Though they are invisible on this photograph, there are steps and steep winding pathways that lead directly to the sea and then to the Marina ... often used by hotel guests.

I often wish I was there, especially now when 
our daughter and her husband are soon to head that way!
