BLUNA

BLUNA
Luzzus are tradional brightly painted wooden boats with a double-ended hull. They have Horus-/Osiris-eyes (see 2nd note) to ward off bad luck and have been used on Malta since Phoenician times.

Luzzus sind bunt bemalte Holzboote mit doppelendigem Rumpf. Sie haben Horus- /Osiris-Augen zum Schutz der Fischer (siehe 2.PiP) und werden seit Zeiten der Phönizier auf Malta benutzt.

Herzlichen Dank, Lothar! Ich war 2x im April, das zweite Mal war es abartig heiß (zu heiß für die Jahreszeit) und alles war schon vertrocknet.

Da gab es doch mal so einen Werbespruch: "Sind wir nicht alle ein bißchen Bluna?" :-)))

Besten Dank, Reinhard! Ich erinnere mich dunkel aus meiner Kindheit;-) Auf Malta gibt es Kinnie, eine Limo aus Bitterorangen, genausoviel Zucker drin, aber schmeckt besser.

Lovely colourful pictures Gudrun. I always enjoyed my visits to Malta. Great memories.

Gudrun club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thank you so much, Rosa! That was my second visit to Malta, both times in April, but the weather couldn't have been more different. The 2nd time it was unseasonally hot, all the wildflowers dried up already...

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Gudrun club
The first time I went they had the worst storms for 40 years and our hotel room had a leak and the beds were soaked! It was a bit like Faulty Towers, replacing the beds...and just as funny.

Oh dear, glad you kept your humour- I can just imagine it;-)

Rainbow colours, Gudrun. I didn't get as close as this to any of the boats, and I didn't know about the Eye of Horus. I must have a look at my Malta photos again.

Gudrun club has replied to Amelia club
Many thanks, Amelia! Seeing other users uploading Malta photos reminded me of the many I have....plus I thought it wouldn't do to upload snow photos when Easter is round the corner;-)

Just back from my Pilates session, and have looked in the 2014 archives. And yes! 2 boats showing the Eye of Horus. ;-)

These pictures bring back nice memories of so many years ago, when I was so much younger but unfortunately not into photography yet! That’s why is a double joy looking at these beautiful details, so colourful and Mediterranean! Did you know that in South Italy and in Greece too eyes are (or more likely were) painted on wooden boats? I’m pretty sure the reason is the same!

Gudrun club has replied to Adele club
Thanks a lot, Adele! I guess both southern Italy and Greece were on Phoenician trade routes so it figures they too used horus eyes:-)
