Aragona Palace Hotel Terme Ischia

We are now booked to stay at Ulisse Deluxe Hostel for one week... is "deluxe hostel" an oxymoron?
Looking for some tips for what to do here... Capri? Amalfi? Positano? Anyone been and have firsthand knowledge?

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 !

... TravelPod" is a complete pain in the a@$ to use. For our 2010 "Radical Sabbatical" trip to Asia, I'm switching to another web service.

But, I've promised myself that I'll update this blog before we leave Naples...

apres toutes ces belles villes d'italie, voici naples: l'afreuse! On pourrait aussi dire bienvenue a Verdun en Italie! Ici, la ville est sale, les ruessont ornés d'une grande quantité de déchest et aussi bondées de vendeur itinérants qui fuient des que les patrouilles d'immigrations arrivent!

il y a quand meme quelque beau quartier plus propres et plus tranquille, mais cela passe presque inapperçu! Nous avons visiter la place centrale, une ...

Stayed in a small town south of Naples (Vico Enquense) which was right on the water (in a rather remote cove). We rented an apartment for the week which was part of a hotel complex. At the beginning of our trip, we met Tony (from Jersey City) who was from Vico and told us where to get the best pizza and his wife was from Sorrento (which is just south of Vico) so we had some ...

... a few minutes to catch the purple bus, which traveled to the South West along the Bay of Naples to the residential area of Posillipo. On the return, the Castel del'Ovo and Santa Lucia appeared to be quite visible. Getting off the bus in front of the Stazione Marittima, on via Cristoforo Colombo (street), we crossed the street and walked through some of the street markets. After some casual ...

... asked if there was a wine list. "Yes, a small one," the waiter said smiling. The next morning, we got off to an early start and headed for the ruins of Pompeii. Truly amazing. There are two different mind frames you get in when you're there, and both directly lead to similar varieties of awe. First, Pompeii should be viewed from the human perspective. It is essentially a gravesite. You see bodies that have been cast from pockets of air found within layers of hardened ash, and ...

... really, but for now I am a true traveller - only completely happy when there's the prospect of new and exciting experiences around the corner. I spent five weeks in Italy and I keep telling myself that despite a patch of tired moodiness, I loved it. But did I really? Was I happy? To tell the truth, I odn't really know. There were days, moments, and people that really stick out in my mind, truly memorable experiences, but as a whole I don't think I was ...

... A 45 minute walk took me to the top of some mountain which then led down a secluded path to the sea. The 'beach' was just some large rocks near, of all things, some ancient Roman ruins and there was no one else in sight. I found a spot protected from the sea breezes and spent a comfortable hour sunbathing in the warm temperatures atop the ruins. I haven't seen the famous 'Sorrento Moon' but there was plenty of Sorrento Sun. Suddenly a big group of Americans tourists came ...
