    Almafi Coast trip

    This is the trip I had won in the beginning of the semester and there could not have been a more perfect weekend to go-it was beautiful weather in the 70s and 80s!! We got to our hostel, literally on a cliffside in Sorrento, in the middle of the night, Thursday.

    We woke up bright and early for a long walk to the …

    Capri

    We caught the ferry to the spectacular island of Capri. After a coffee in the sun (coffees are very reasonably priced), we took a boat trip around the island, stopping at the various grottos (White, Green and Blue). They don't mention that you have to pay extra to enter the Blue Grotto, which is only accessible in tiny 4-person row-boats that the …

    The Hilton was nice and within walking distance to most things in town. Like most of Italy, plenty of wonderful cafes, restaurants and bars await!

    This trip was made special by visiting a cooking school for a fantastic meal with the cooks, and family that owns the establishment. The …

    Grotta Azzurro

    1 photo

    En saa kunnolla yöllä nukuttua ja siirryn hotellin aulaan seikkailemaan netissä. Meri on ihan mustana, ei valoa missään. Laguunissa hotellin edessä näkyy keinuvan pieni purjehdusalus, kun aamu alkaa valjeta, huomaan, että alus on lähtenyt ja tilalla on pieni paatti. Olisikohan kalastajat lähteneet aamukalaan. Aamulla laguuniin palaa kalastusalus ja …
