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 !

I am so far behind with this blog. Partly, it's because we have traveled every single month during 2009. There's so much to tell & show that unless I write every week, I'm always several trips behind. The other problem is ...

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!

... juste a temps pour souper, on peut profiter de la cuisine de
l'auberge pour manger a moindre cout!




Rendu au milieu de notre voyage, voici
quelques constatations sur l'italie. Les restros sont tres cher! Le
vin est probablement l'article le moins cher sur une facture de
restaurant!! ; les italiens et ...

... very nicely. after we ordered we were given Bruccheta. it was free as a gift to us. it was amazing and tasted so great. one of the best bruccheta i have ever had. then i got a great salad that tasted so great. i have been craving a salad and it was amazing. it had veggies, balsamic vinegar and walnuts. then after a great dinner, the waiter asked if we wanted dessert. we saw the tray and could not resist. so we decided to get one and the waiter said we could have ...

... more colour and chic. Comparing the two is like looking at a gorgeous postcard in sepia then viewing it in full colour. Pete and Jules, lying on our sun beds literally two steps from the water, eating sardines (your favourite) salmon and tuna at Hotel Pupetto, we couldn't help but think of you! We included you in our "salute" over a few glasses of pino grigio!

... and those rocks looked mighty close. It was actually less nerve-wracking on the trip back, because although there was just a guard rail between me and a thousand-foot drop to the ocean, at least the mountain wasn't bearing down on me. A rule of the Italian road: buses have right of way. Period. They'll honk as they come around the curve, and you'd better stop or move. Another road rule: there is a little more room than you ...

I lost my Campania travelcard! I think I accidentally threw it out last night as I was cleaning out my pockets. It caused me to miss the first train to Sorrento as I was digging around looking for it. I took the train to Sorrento, and from there I took a bus to Positano. There was an idiotic UK lady sitting behind me - she kept talking to an Italian man though he kept telling her that he didn't understand English. I think she just liked the ...

... polite. I found Mediterraneo but it was still too early for dinner and there were 3 Italian men standing by the door with a dog that I didn't feel like passing through at that moment. I kept walking for a while and found a good spot to take a picture. A man walking with a dog stopped to start a conversation with me. He seemed harmless so I didn't mind answering his simple questions like, "Where you from?", "Where you going?" I said that I was going to ...
