“Nice room away from big crowds”

loud church bells every 15 min even at night, trouble checking in (reception only open until 2pm), great location close to Amalfi town but away from crowds, lovely hike up to Ravello and Villa Cimbrone, beach less busy than Amalfi's, 15 min walk to Amalfi bus station/port, owner Phillipo very friendly, no kitchen although there was one advertised, have to walk down to the square for wifi at a local bar

Lovely scenery and pizza
Beck: Howdy all! Sorry about the briefness of the last entry, but this one might end up that way too since our hostel offers free internet but there's only one computer. Bugger.

Pompeii was a small coastal city that was completely covered by ash and lava when Mt Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. We had expected to find a few ruined houses and maybe …
Who Doesn't Love Atrani?
I decided to head straight to the Amalfi Coast when my plans to visit Rome after Florence fell through. Plus, with all of the traveling I had been doing in the last few weeks, all I wanted to do was sit in one place and do absolutely NOTHING. Why the Amalfi Coast? Well, my good friend, Dawn, convinced me to visit the Amalfi Coast so in some way, I …

Homeward Bound
So today is our last day and we head off early for a marginally better flight home on Thomson than coming. However there is the same palaver with cabin baggage and we had to sit in the coach for an hour before we could check in. But home almost on time and all the luggage arrived and we are in one piece so a good outcome!
Overall we had a wonderful time on our magical mystery cruise. We didn't get to Tripoli or Egypt or Tunisia but we had ...
