Time passes, children grow up, mothers whitening, vision becomes blurred and the memories begin to fade. In the large triangular island the days are all alike and the dullness of daily life takes away the lifeblood of memory. E 'right to speak again of my week in the troubled and understanding of offshore islands before it's too late.
Island sea-number 1: Linosa
Linosa You should know that the word is an anagram of Isola N., and N. Asylum (Which of course, being an anagram of asylum island and vice versa). Is not it great? Linosa Among other things, besides being a beautiful island, also has a beautiful asylum. Every day, crowds of tourists, mostly Japanese (with a microfotocamere) are crowded around the little pastel-colored wall that surrounds the gingerbread house where the children linosane spend happy days in the winter months. In summer, the asylum is desert, and this helps to make it an even more striking, with its roof and windows of marzipan icing sugar. Almost hear the clamor of children playing with Barbies and girls who build spaceships with Lego. Yes, because Linosa gender roles are reversed: men are all wearing skirts housewives and flannel (and nothing above) and women are all masons wear tank tops and greasy (and anything below). Many sociologists and economists have tried to understand how the heck do the island's economy to stand, all being only housewives and laborers, but were unable to cope with them. The inhabitants of Linosa also have a huge belly with no navel, and their eyes in the form of Mandarin Chinese have no eyelids. Do not have sexual organs (women differ from men only through clothing) and reproduce by parthenogenesis on the first Sunday of each month. I'm having a long tail and articulated that they use to dust and be tickled. Only use motors to move the muffler and smashed bikes from the early twentieth century.
Better stop, before
Linosa is a small volcanic island. The town has only 400 souls (in fact the people are 500, but 100 have sold his soul to the devil), and turns in less than five minutes. The quasi-island tour, however, is done in just under two hours (but this I told ). Once you have toured the country and the near-island tour, the tourists remain two possibilities: 1) turn over the thumbs. 2) choose a set and take a dip in the cleanest sea in the Mediterranean (scored for the second consecutive year Legambiente five sails, the equivalent of four stars of Mereghetti for movies).
Obviously, if there is a lot of wind, it is preferable to the option number 1, to avoid risking his life. The problem, however, does not arise, because Linosa summer there is not even a breeze, except once every 6500 years. Well, the chance would have Giuseppe and I giungessimo island exactly 6500 years after the last terrible wind storm. We spent a wonderful two days, days where we have improved our ability to turn over the thumbs. Days when our cheerful insouciance was not the least disturbed by the presence of a cute little mouse gas cooker in the humble cottage where we stayed. Unforgettable days, made more cheerful and lively roofs roofless and sea force 7.

Island sea-number 2: On Lampedusa Lampedusa
there is little to say. And 'much larger Linosa, is shaped like a cheese slices and is totally devoid of vegetation. There is an airport where thousands of illegal immigrants landing daily flying Air France and British Airways . The island is rich, the native run and slippers with gold Rolex Dolce & Gabbana, and the country could be more beautiful and taken care of Taormina and Monte Carlo put together, however, for dark and mysterious reasons, it sucks. Looks much like the more squalid suburbs the most squalid cities on the planet. The rampant illegal construction: even the sea is illegal, although beautiful (ha obtained for the second consecutive year Legambiente five sails, the equivalent of four chef's hats in the Gault Millau guide for restaurants). The people of Lampedusa are in all respects similar to humans, their reproduction is sexual and have a belly button (only have a head shaped like a cake, but you do not notice much).
