Albergo Sant'Andrea Amalfi

Nous avons pris l'autobus publique pour atteindre le sommet du vesus, le volcan n'a pas tellement a offrir, mais la vue sur la bay est vraiment belle. Ensuite, nous avons visités les ruines d'Herculaneom. Une autre ville disparue sous l'eruption du vesus il y a pres de 2000 ans. il y a encore beaucoup de travail d'archeologie en cours, mais on peut voir que la ville est meiux conserver, il y a meme des batiments de 2 et 3 etages et des pieces de bois qui ont traversé le temps !

I am so far behind with this blog. Partly, it's because we have traveled every single month during 2009. There's so much to tell & show that unless I write every week, I'm always several trips behind. The other problem is ...

Ola Kala: simply, OK (in Greek). No time for lots of flap.....we're on the go. The Vatican Museums await us (and we can hardly wait to do more walking!). Enjoy the pictures and we'll fill you in on the adventure next time I make the time to sit and gab.

We're still having a grand time!!!!!

... aire déserter par les habitants de naples, et puis ensuite on c'est refugier dans le chateau ouvo pemdamt l'orage. nous avons eu un excellent point vue sur le volcan Vesuve. Puis ensuite nous avons visiter le vieux quartier ou les rues tres etroites ne laisse pas entrée les raysons du soleil ! Il y a meme une rue ou l'on ne retrouve que des commerces d'articles de noel. tout pour se refaire une creche ou redecorer l'arbre a chaque année!

... juste a temps pour souper, on peut profiter de la cuisine de
l'auberge pour manger a moindre cout!




Rendu au milieu de notre voyage, voici
quelques constatations sur l'italie. Les restros sont tres cher! Le
vin est probablement l'article le moins cher sur une facture de
restaurant!! ; les italiens et ...

... 2kg......ummmm no thanks! I bought one bottle though, I couldnt help myself! We went to go to the bus stop to get a bus to Positano but just missed it and had to wait about an hour. We hung around in the crazy strong wind and then it started raining. Yay :( We found a bus that went to Sorrento (And I realised that this was obviously the place that Pavarotti sings about) and caught it as it started to hail. Double yay! Mind you, I was ...

... left. They have a luggage pulley so you don't have to carry anything up stairs - its on the top floor. We also took a bus up to Ravello, a town above Amalfi. The bus trip is pretty hairy with alot of steep climbs and views over very steep drops. The town has a lovely church and square. If you walk along the town, out to the ridge which overlooks the coast there are great views. However this land is private and you need to pay for entrance to the villa and gardens. If ...

... Then went for a walk around the town. There are heaps of souvenir shops here. Sat by the water for a bit and then lined up to catch the bus back. This ride was even longer than coming to Amalfi, we went through another town. 2 hours later I arrived back at Sorrento and then caught the train back to Portici. I didn't think that the Amalfi coast was that spectacular, seemed to be lacking beaches.

Okay I must confess I am in Naples, not Amalfi. I just wanted a different map pin for Amalfi, plus I was there earlier today. The bus ride from Salerno to Amalfi was full of beautiful scenes and I have some really great pictures. I wish I could upload photos day by day, that would be amazing but at least my camera organizes them by date so I can keep track when I do ...

... kitchen, washing machine, dishwasher, and satellite TV. We were getting this five star accommodation for 25 euros each per night - same rate as a dorm room in a youth hostel. Amalfi is a fantastic old town with windy cobbled streets and interesting shops. We all went to explore the town, beach and the waterfront. We had fabulous divine seafood pizzas over looking the water as the sun set. Life does not get much better than this.
