... especially by kids - it just sounds so BOUNCY. But holy **** it makes every whine sound that much more insufferable

===============================< br>OK this is a slight cheat in that I read this book shortly after it first came out. But it's salient because it's a book of book reviews from which I'm ...

... a very smooth sailing and we enjoyed lovely sunshine and warm weather during the day. Quite cool once the sun went down. We had lots of time to play cards and enjoy the time on board. The food was ok but the early morning wake up call was deadly since we arrived in Greece at 6 AM we had to get up at 5 AM! Too many early mornings for me.

... and rooms that made no sense. Apart from a few olive groves it didnīt really protect anything, but made for some great photos and views of the coast. Trani itself was a lovely fishing town, and we spent the next morning looking around the old stone fortifications and beautiful cathedral overlooking the sea, and watching the fishermen bring in their catch and sell it live on the docks.

... the stamp had not much to offer. Listen, we don't like to be negative about places but this place was DEAD! The locals being on their month long vacation caused MANY places to be CLOSED! Seriously, closed...and those things that were open had to have a break in the day between 1 pm and 5 pm. We wandered for a good hour looking for a place to have lunch! What craziness. Yes, we had "italian pizza", but we will hold our judgement for when we go back to Italy ...

... I caved. So for 2 days, the dog slept on our porch and ate like there was no tomorrow. He was so gentle with Ethan and friendly. We hope that our host was able to find a suitable home for him. The nearest town to us was Andria. The drive there was pretty as Spring had finally sprung and lots of poppies lined the road with other bright flowers. Andria could be described in one word though ...

(Jim) The kids have been begging for the chance to play football, so today we pumped up the soccer ball and walked over to a piazza in the old town where we saw kids playing yesterday. Our kids started kicking the ball around. We soon attracted two Italian kids about Katharine's age, who eagerly joined in. One was clearly the stronger player of the two. Whenever he or anyone else made a good ...

Today was just a travel day. We left Sorrento at 10:00 AM for the ferry port in Bari. We watched a couple movies on the bus, but for the most part the day was uneventful until we got to the port. Our boat was scheduled to depart at 7, but didn't leave until well after 8. Had dinner on the ferry..buffet style..yuck...9 Euro too! We watched the sunset before we left the dock ...

... keskustaan, joka oli kovin kaunis. Parkkeeraus- ja liikennekulttuuri nyt vain oli sita mita etela-eurooppalaiselta kaupungilta saattaa odottaakin. Siella oli paljon Smart for2-autoja, hyvin katevia ahtaaseen parkkeeraukseen - niita oli parkkeerattu jopa poikittain parkkipaikoille :P Etsimme Durresiin (20 min paassa Tiranasta sijaitseva satamakaupunki) menevan laivan, ja hop siihen. Tarina jatkuu seuraavassa jaksossa, mielenkiintoisine kaanteineen.. =P

... to be a nice rounnd 98 euros for the both of them. THAT SUCKS. Turned out later I met another girl who was on the same train, had a railpass, scored a seat a couple cars from us and was never asked for a fare or to move. WHAT. whatever. The second train was of course far better as we I had a seat thank God. Get me off trains!!! We pull into Bari, which any other day was pretty and looked worth exploring a good deal, but I wasn't taking any ...

This town wasn't in any of my travel guides but it was a great place. Cheap and delicious food, very helpful travel agents, and an old quarter to die for. There were lots of old churches, some of which were turned into apartment buildings. This town gave me a real taste of Italy...and on my last day too! Check out the sunset and the alleys!
