Bed and breakfast for naturists

Seaside, mountain or lake, every holiday is the same old story: the dreaded luggage!
Am I taking too many clothes? Or are they few? Elegant or casual? Is it gonna be cold or hot?
And this becomes a significant problem if you travel by plane and you have to respect the limits of size and weight per bag.
Not to mention the return journey, full of souvenirs and new purchases that inevitably you never know where to put.

At last the idea of a lovely Swedish lady has worked out all of these problems: she has opened the first bed and breakfast for nudists!
Guests can now leave behind any unnecessary frill such as clothing and enjoy a stay in touch with nature.
Strolls to admire the flowers and animals, sea bathing in the near beach, a greenhouse and even golf: you'll be really spooled for choice in how to spend your days in freedom. Not to mention the SPA and technology with free WiFi access.

These are the characteristics of the B&B "Hylteberga Gàrd Naturist", near Skurup, in southern Sweden, facility operated by a couple, Eva and Steffan, who will welcome you with a fragrant freshly baked cake and… completely naked.

No specific prohibition of wearing clothes, even the "dressed" customers can stay in the quiet of the Gàrd which, with only 4 rooms, also offers the needed privacy and customer care. Beware thought, who knows which manners could rub off on you!
The only recommendation is to schedule your vacation during the summer. Swedish winter is definitely not suitable for naturism.

Verona: a tour of the city. Unusual places

In the last post we mentioned the landmarks which you can not miss during your visit. This time we'll talk about some places a little more unusual and less traveled, though as beautiful as the others.

Out first destination are the so-called "Arche Scaligere", funerary monuments of the greatest rulers of the family that ruled over Verona. They are located next to the church of Santa Maria Antica, near the Piazza dei Signori. The most important (and first in time) to be buried in one of those graves was Cangrande (1291-1329), just the one to whom Dante dedicated the Paradise for the kindness which he received from him during his exile from Florence. Other successors are today in these monumental decorated sarcophagi, impossible to miss them!

Another place to remember is Castelvecchio. Built between 1354 and 1357 by Cangrande II della Scala to protect his court in a tumultuous period of war, over the centuries the castle has undergone several shifts of use, first as an arsenal and barracks, then as a prison, until in 1923 it became the museum that we know today. In our day it's in fact the Civic Museum of the city of Verona, an art gallery and library.

Connected to Castelvecchio by the amazing Ponte Scaligero, there's the Austrian arsenal, built between 1840 and 1861, different from the Habsburg era buildings it resembles a Romanesque Revival medieval castle. It's built on an area of 62,000 square meters, and consists of separate structures for warehouses, stores and workshops, all immersed in lush green vegetation.

Only ten minutes from the Arena, there is a magic place that takes the visitor back to the calm and tranquility forgotten in today's life: Giardino Giusti. The first part goes back to the 15th century and, over the centuries, has been expanded and enriched with fountains, acoustic grottos, a maze of hedges among the most ancient in Europe and an avenue decorated by cypresses, at the end of which a ladder leads you to one of the most breathtaking view of the city.

These are just some of the magical places that are enclosed in this beautiful city. Many others are just waiting to be discovered.

The strangest objects stolen from a hotel.

It happened to all of us, you come back from a stay in a hotel, and while you unpack you find something that should have stayed at the hotel and instead came home with you, more or less "accidentally".
 
Towels, shampoo bottles, ashtrays, tv or air conditioners remotes. Well, it happens, those who work in the hospitality industry resigned theirselves already. A poll reveals that 37% of respondents admit to have taken something from their rooms, but as many as 85% has actually "removed" something.

 
Browsing the web is possible to find several lists of "strange" objects stolen from hotels around the world.

These are the most curious we found: a stuffed boar's head that hung in the billiard room, some spotlight that were embedded in the floor, the entire interior of one room, including curtains and bed, slid carefully out of the window directly into the van of the couple of guests, a piano, for which the thieves disguised as turners sent for repair purpose, a TV complete with DVD player and all their wires and cables, a medieval sword, a marble fireplace, a copy machine from the lobby.

 
But probably the strangest objects ever stolen are the sex toys that a hotel in Bath, UK, makes available to their guests. Needless to say, after yet another robbery the hotel has stopped supplying its rooms with so coveted gadgets.

There is little to do, human beings will never cease to amaze us with their creativity!
