Hotel Amalfi

OK, so we're living on an Olive Farm for a while now.<br>Bohemian? Yes<br>Practical? Only when its sunny and only when its not olive picking season.<br>So what season is it now? Olive picking and its raining.<br><br>Welcome to our own little corner of Glastonbury<br>

... 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>

... advice on where to go in the area. Good location to go north (to Naples and Pompeii) and south to Positano and Almafi (which is a hair raising but spectacular drive). We also took the boat to Capri which is a beautiful island and especially loved the Blue Grotto. First time we ran into some rain and we were at Pompeii for about 2 hours before it started raining .. even ...

... 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 ...

... right from the pier. We drove the winding, mildly nauseous, roads past Positano and our favorite hotel, the Il San Pietro. We keep going and going and I was getting worried. We were high atop "Milk Mountain" known for it's Buffalo cheeses and took a turn onto yet another winding road, this one was dirt. <br><br>We arrived at a IX century old farm house owned by Vittoria Brancaccio, Le Tore. She ...

We were a little worried about our daytrip to the Amalfi coast because of the horrific weather in Naples but it actually turned out to be a reasonably nice, if a little cloudy, day. We acually stayed two nights in Sorrento which is basically a holiday resort and for some reason filled with British teenagers.....a popular spot for a school excursion???? Our first stop was Positano which is a tiny but lovely town stretching from the surrounding cliffs too the ...

"Darn it, Gerardo! What´d you tell me to go home for?" Pleasantly, I still had enough money to leave Michigan and go elsewhere. Michigan, with its unfulfilled promises, had worn me out. It would be a good time to go to a European isle, live in a tent, go fishing, snorkel, play the occasional soccer game in the nearest town, and progress with meditating experiments. On March 5th, I paid only $231 to fly from New York to Rome (on Air-Comet, a Spanish company ...

... Each with a bottle in hand, we tripped our way down the 250 stairs from the hostel to the main road. As we walked the five kilometers down the road into town, our laughter echoed down the cliffs, carrying our giddiness out to sea. As I threw back slugs of that bubbly sweetness that had previously gotten me into so much trouble, I giggled with the sheer delight of it all. Mopeds and cars honked as they passed us by. 'Italia! Italia!' By the time the three of ...

... before dinner tonight - aparently there's a watch tower up there... Off to Rome tomorrow to meet up with Mich & Dan! See you guys soon... Oh yeah, and the lemons... They're EVERYWHERE! I'm loving it because I like lemon in my food, Caroline's not all that sure, but getting used to it. We've had an Itialian lemon slurpee in Positano, lots of lemon gelati, and lemon in our food last night... but still need to give the Lemoncillo a try. ...untill Rome, Caio! :) -Cal.
