CRUISE SHIP TOWEL MONKEY 🐒

Towel art is practiced by cruise ship cabin stewards all over the world. We liked this one so much; we left it hanging for the entire trip. 😄 There was a different animal every day. Read more: (right-click to open in new tab)

STRANGE VIEWS IN ARMS SQUARE, KOTOR, Montenegro 🇲🇪

One of these years days, I’ll get around to writing the travelogue!
In the meantime:

There’s a giant lamp for shade! 😆 In front of the clock tower (below) sits the “Pillar of Shame”, a place of punishment in the Middle Ages. Offenders were chained to it and humiliated by the public. And what the heck is THAT on the bottom, right? 🤔

Magnifying it didn’t help much, did it? 😆

  1. Debbie, the towel art was very cool. I’ve been on three cruises and never had a steward do that and I’d have saved that towel monkey too. 🙂 You’ve been to some unique places and always managed to capture a unique picture for that place – the lampshade is a really a novel idea.

  2. Deb, what a fun post! I love your little travel tours. And I enjoyed hopping over to your Barcelona post and watching Flamenco vid. Thanks for your fun tours. <3

  3. I LOVE the towel art, Debbie! Someone just shared their seal towel from their Alaska cruise—weird that I’ve seen two in two days. See how the universe works? I like that tiled frog or gecko, too! Seems like artists create some very oddball sculptures. That lamp is crazy, thanks for sharing your oddballs with us this week!

  4. That was a lot interesting and weird things. It is terrible how it was in medieval times with pillars of shame and public humiliation. It is one of the many reasons I think mid-evil times is a good misspelling for that time period. I think the Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, Norway is pretty weird. We were there last week.

  5. I have no clue what that is or represents. Yes, those sculptures are suggestive but I like them. I love Gaudi and hope to see his one day.

    1. The seaside sculptures certainly are interesting. I read Sicily has several of these scattered about. 🙂 Gaudi’s style was so unique! The cathedral is a jaw-dropping sight in person. I hope you get the chance to see it, Birgit.

  6. The wildest and weirdest thing I’d see would probably be my own dogs since I rarely leave the house anymore. Back in the days when I traveled a lot by car, I never went looking for strange things, so it was always fun to be driving through a place like Minnesota and see the Jolly Green Giant towering over the farmland. Or driving down an interstate in Alabama and passing the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile. =)

    1. Dogs can be goofy and provide lots of entertainment. 😀 It would be fun to see the Green Giant statue and the wiener mobile. I love road trips! 🙂
