Oh, the most of us just hate Alarm clock! But also sometimes they simply rescue our life. And did you know that everything started in ancient Greece? It was actually the idea of Platon - the famous, ancient Greek philosopher. Based on the water clock, which already existed, Platon constructed a prototype of the alarm clock. He used the hourglass, on which water pressured on the closed part of this tool. This was making the sound out, because of the air which was inside. Sounds very simple, but before this idea nobody thought about that. He used it probably to remind about his lectures, to signalise that it will start soon.

Usually, after the sunbathing follows a refreshing bath in the clear blue sea. Whenever you let your eyes wander over this beautiful blue water you see many colorful snorkels on the top of the sea. I also never go into the water without my swimming glasses because I love to dive with all these different fishes. The swimming glasses are just one little part of a great equipment that makes the diving for hours possible.
