Best Western Syrene Hotel Capri

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!!!!!

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 ...

... ne sont pas tres
acceuillant, en tout cas, ils ont souvent l'air bete. Ils sont peu
nombreux a parler et ou comprendre autre chose que l'italien. Ils
n'ont aucun sens du civisme, cela viens probablement de leur
egocentricite. Je dois dire que depuis le debut de notre voyage, nous
ne sommes pas impressione par leur comportements!

... possibly want. But I finally ended up getting him a tasteful tie with fish all over it, a travel bag for the helicopter, and a model replica of the yacht. I got that idea while we were at the Monaco Yacht show. I had to pay a rush fee, but they were able to complete it in time for his birthday.

For his birthday, Stee got himself another yacht. I knew he had been looking at it before and I was quite sure that he was going to buy it, but he announced it on his birthday, today ...

... by Tiberius to use as his vacationing, and eventually retirement home. We had lunch back at Piazza Umberto, the main square of Capri. We then visited Marina Piccola (little port), and also Anacapri, which is at a high elevation at the western end of the island. It was late afternoon, and we had to leave Capri, but we were off on ...

... during this season. The gardens were beautiful, and the view was spectacular. After we walked down a winding path down to the sea shore. The scenery was amazing. Then we walked back up the winding path. We walked back down to the port, and caught a jet foil back to Sorrento. The ride back was a lot rougher than going to Capri (Rigel started to feel pretty ill...). When we arrived at the port in Capri it started to pour. The ...

Today we travelled from Sorrento to Capri for the day. Walked down to the ferry which took 15min and travelled to the island of Capri which took about 40 min. Once there caught the Funicular Railway from the port to main Capri area. Lots of people trying to sell tours where you get on ferry and saying easier than the queues etc. We had no problems as they weren't too bad. A bit of a squash getting on the Railway but not too bad. Worst part is ...

Day 24 (Sat) We woke up a little later than expected and ate some ok breakfast and set out for Sorrento to catch a ferry to Capri. We got to Sorrento and there was a parade for the up coming republic day, there were a bunch of little kids so the girls though it was very cute so watched for 10 minutes. The street we took to get to the dock gave a great view of the harbor and the coast line from an elevated place got ...
