Spirits?

 

The Hotel Spirit located in Bratislava, Slovakia is just a strange little hotel I found online.   There's not much online except that the builder in "unknown".   Odd as it doesn't appear to be that old.

It's website states.... "The uniqueness of this place is easy to spot mainly due to the complex services that we offer . Each guest gets a free nutritional supplement . We find the best supplement for you according to your current health conditions and also to your life and fitness goals you hope to achieve in the future. There is one meal a day included in the room price." Again, odd as I thought maybe it's design is what makes it so unique.  It was certainly a surprise to find it's focus is on health.. hmmm.

 

Arches

 

Arches National Park is home to over 2000 natural arches!  It certainly has earned it's name!  It's located in on the eastern side of Utah near the town of Moab (USA).  The park is about 76,359 acres and has more than just arches.  It has a variety natural and unique geological resources and formations.  Unfortately, now and again,  a arch will collapse.  A total of 43 have collapsed since 1970.   Rock climbing on the arches is strictly prohibited but hiking, camping, star gazing, auto tours and more are still permitted.  Well,  that's about it for this evening.  I say.. GO! :)

 

 

The Good Volcano!

 

Looking for a unique shopping experience :)? On the outskirts of Naples, Italy very close to the Mt. Vesuvius near the city of Nola, you will find 'Vulcano Buono' (The Good Volcano).  It is a commercial complex that was built to resemble the Mt. Vesuvius volcano (aka The Bad Volcano) which destroyed Pompeii in 79 AD and continues to be quite active and considered one of the most dangerous in the world. The Vulcano Buono is quite safe and hosts markets, movie theaters, a hotel, a mall full of shops and various bars and restaurants.  The center area is used for open air concerts.  The exterior grassy green slopes is covered with thousand of plants providing natural insulation.   The parking lots has enough spots for 7000 cars.  I'm not a big shopping mall girl,  but it's nice to see something 'different' out there!
