Due Golfi Grand Hotel Sant'Agata sui Due Golfi

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!!!!!

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 ...

Sunday caught the train out to Pompei which was ginormous!
I think we only saw ...

... 6 or 7 music stores in 1 block- one of which had guitars, lutes and other stringed instruments dating back to the late 1800's.


Also discovered that the food options in Naples are a lot better than northern Italy with a lot more meat based snacks and fried snacks available to eat whilst wandering the streets.
No wonder northern Italians are so skinny and short - their food options for decent snacks are so limited compared to the south ...

OK, so we're living on an Olive Farm for a while now.
Bohemian? Yes
Practical? Only when its sunny and only when its not olive picking season.
So what season is it now? Olive picking and its raining.

Welcome to our own little corner of Glastonbury

... the exhibitions went even further...that was, until I actually ventured down the road. Further down, I investigated the Little Theatre, Great Theatre, and Ampitheater. I was not able to, in the two performance theatres, determine how good or bad the acoustics were. What amazed me was the amount of people these spaces could hold. The Little Theater could hold 1000 people, and the Great Theatre, 5000 citizens! The ampitheater was neat ...

We left Rome about 1 hour after Rob and Hollie and we both took different routes down to Naples and Serrento (them on the motorway taking 4 hours and arriving at lunchtime)us on the coast road taking 9 hours and arriving just after 10 at night. We had arranged to meet up again in the next campsite in Serrento and they kindly reserved us a place next to them. We pottered our way down the coast and then headed onto the motorway for the last stretch of the journey so ...
