Carmencita Anacapri

Since it was raining in Sorrento I decided to skip the Amalfi coast and Capri. With my extra time I wanted to hit the pizza place Di Matteo that was supposedly better than Da Michele. You know me, I'm an equal opportunity pizza eater. I have no loyalties except to whomever serves up the best pie.<br><br>The reason why I hadn't tried Di Matteo previously was because I thought it was only take-away. I walked all around the perimeter of the restaurant before and couldn't see any ...

Sorry I've been delayed in posting this entry. I had tons of photos and a serious case of procrastination. But, the great thing about travelpod is that I can back-date posts. So in reality, it's YOU that is delayed in viewing the post. What have you been doing the last few days? Sheesh. Unbelievable. Heehee.<br><br>Okay, on to Pompeii.<br><br>I decided to stay in Sorrento because I wanted to be close enough to all the Amalfi Coast ...

Tomorrow morning we catch a train for Sorrento. We will be there for 4 nights. We will take day trip to Amalfi, but we will not be staying at the hotel there. Joe and I decided that our stay on the Amalfi coast will be more enjoyable if we do not change hotels , so we extended our stay at the hotel in Sorrento, and cancelled the one in Amalfi. Just wanted to let everyone know in case you needed to reach us.

... gothic and strikingly simple and huge. I loved it. And literally across the street was a Baroque church that was huge and strikingly ornate. It would be impossible for me to choose a favorite between the two. They were both so incredibly incredible. And when I departed the last one I saw the most magnificent sight: the full, heavy, textured moon sitting plumply and centered between the two church entrances. I tried my best to ...

From Rome we headed south to Positano. Once in Sorento we hired a cab to take us the rest away the way, along a very narrow winding road about 150 meters above the sea. For this driver the lines dividing the highway were merely suggestions and blind corners ************cern. The views were spectacular, however the cliff edge road ...

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 ...

Buon Giorno! This morning we woke up in Napoli or commonly known as Naples! This would be the port where you could take tours to Mt. Vesuvius or the ruins of Pompeii, the famed Roman city that was buried by volcanic ash after the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79AD. Or, tours were available to the beautiful coastal areas of Sorrento and Capri! Today, we opted to remain in Naples and tour the city ...

... Capri and then went to check our luggage, since we would be traveling from here onto Naples. We must have circled around about 50 times, asking numerous people for directions to the lockers including the tourist information office. It turns out that the "lockers" is actually a store that uses it's back room to check luggage. Works for us (although they should be more clear on that so we can find it!)<br><br>We decided to go see the Blue Grotto as ...

... got to trail run though! On Capri! I have wanted to trail run for a long time, and I never did it because I never found myself in a place to do it. It was so amazing though. Here was the mountain I was atop, and then running down. It is the same as the first picture in this blog. Finally, I ran around a ...

... Finally, another bus pulled up, slightly less packed. People started filing on, in some semblance of order, except some girl from the back of the line, who tried to "permezzo" past all of us and get to the front. She was in the process of physically shoving me off the step of the bus when Sarah put her arm on the guardrail so the girl couldn't get past. So the girl started trying to move her arm. All of us and a small dog ended up ...
