Hotel A Paziella Capri

... the best pizza you ever have had and ever will have. This is your last day in Italy. You came back to Naples specifically to eat at this pizzeria."<br><br>Yep, I ordered a second pizza. The waiter asked if I wanted him to make it a small margherita. I said, "Nah." literally while I had a fork raised carrying a bite from my prima pizza. I ate both of those pizzas and I was so happy. I had also had a hefty beer. Needless to say I slept the entire train ride from Naples to Rome.<br>

... The most sobering realization was just how similar these people were to us. Sure, there are obvious differences, but in reality we haven't come 'so far' in 2000 years. The basics are still the same. Maybe you'll disagree. But take a look at some of the pix and let me know. <br><br>Mitch, I hope I caught everything you were looking for. And before flipping through the photos ask your parents if you can look at the brothel photos, okay?<br>

... the town decimated but preserved from Mt. Vesuvius erupting in the first century. Throughout the week, we had the pleasure of being wined and dined by Sophie&#8217;s parents and we had some amazing food, the seafood was stellar.<br><br>Positano Pictures<br>http://picasaweb.google.com /Jonny.D.Lawrence/20091030Positano?auth key ...

... umbrella and raincoat got soaked through to our underwear! Next day it rained hard too but did not mind a lazy day with no sightseeing. The city of Naples has a few nice areas but is a really dirty city and one day of sightseeing was plenty. Seeing Naples and Mt. Vesuvius from a distance is the best way to see them but south of Naples and the Almafi coast is not to be missed.

... in the air shivering. But we got some great pictures. <br><br>We left the island shortly after, we were both really bummed out that we didn't get to go in the grotto. For those of you that do not know about this, it is a small cave entrance that you enter by a small row boat. When you get inside it is a bigger area that is all limestone, bottom and surrounding, which makes the walls illuminated with blue. We missed out, just another reason to return.

... a few minutes to catch the purple bus, which traveled to the South West along the Bay of Naples to the residential area of Posillipo. On the return, the Castel del'Ovo and Santa Lucia appeared to be quite visible. Getting off the bus in front of the Stazione Marittima, on via Cristoforo Colombo (street), we crossed the street and walked through some of the street markets. After some casual ...

... Some of the people in our group chose to go on a tour of the Grotto after our guided tour and they said that it was very pretty inside but you were only able to be inside for about 20 seconds, and then you were rowed out.             After the island tour, we took a bus up to a small town called Anacapri, which is above Capri and definitely a tourist trap.  The town has a lot of perfume, limoncello, and other expensive ...

... Coast, but they were clean enough to take video. It was a 2 ½ hour ferry ride, which made me sleepy; I had to stay awake otherwise I might miss the stop. So at around 11:00, we arrived at the posh yet touristy Isle of Capri (pronounced: caw'-pree). Our boat docked in Marina Grande and that's where we met our fantastic guide, Sabrina, for a tour of Capri. (By this time, it had begun ...

... did not believe I was actually on Capri. Just two days earlier, I was surrounded by the traffic congestion back home in Housotn. "Non è possibile! (It's not possible)," I mentioned to Luna. It felt like a dream breathing in the fresh, salty air, listening to the song of the seabirds, sipping my espresso, and relaxing on the lounge chair overlooking the intense beauty of Capri. Luigi's gardener was tending to the lush vegetable gardens, and I greeted him with ...

... around on those as well. It was a beautiful day in paradise, quite possibly the most beautiful place I have ever been, besides PA of course. We headed back to Sorrento for dinner since things are a little less expensive there. I got the fresh fish of the day which was red snapper with pasta, very good, very fresh. We got back to the hostel and went to bed so we could get up early and make our way to Amalfi and Atrani.
