BELLA MBRIANA HOTEL DE CHARME Giugliano in Campania

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...

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!

retard s'accumule. On a passer la journee dans le train et on est

... half of the ruins, but saw some really amzing stuff.
Pity we couldn't get into the large arena as it was blocked off and looked really impressive from what we could see from the outside.

Found a really cool red leather satchel to replace my old grey nylon one that has given me 9or10 years of service.
Florentine leather - so nice...
Also went to get 1 more tripe roll before leaving town and discovered they had beef too so tried one of them instead. Just as amazing as the tripe one!!!

The train ride from ...

... park a smart car. And nobody got parking tickets.

Our first bus tour, on the red bus, began at the Castel Nuovo and headed north to the Museo de Campodimonte passing the Fontana in via Medina, Convitto Nationale (National School in Naples), Basilica de Santa Maria della Sanita and the Church of Madre del Buon Consiglio along the way.

Returning to the bus terminal, we ...

Today was a blast...Rachel and I rented scooters and drove around the coast next to Sorrento. We drove up into the mountains and found a great local restaraunt where we had the best lunch in Italy. The pasta was great (and plentiful) and the steak was.....divine. Seriously it was probably the best piece of meat I have ever had. Ever. Rachel agrees with me. So we drove around all day, putt-putting along (Rachel had her ...

... My pensione is allegedly a 5 minute walk from the Centrale Statzione in Napoli, but 20 minutes in somehow I am lost. My Italian language skills are at breaking point, as I am not getting much advice that I can understand. They seem to be indicating lots of lefts and rights, but who knows. Finally I understood they were pointing me towards some market. I am staying on Piazza Mancini, from where you can actually see the station, except when it is busy like today. The Piazza ...
