Hotel Dei Cavalieri Amalfi

... with our photogropher but will not be able to post those pics until we get back to Canada. Danielle will be posting her pictures of the day on Facebook soon so everyone should be able to see them through a link. We obviously didnt get any pictures on our own camera as we were a little busy.
We are on our way to Florence tomorrow and we will have more time to write ...

This villa is absolutely amazing with the nicest hosts you'll find. We pass by a few, and none of them were as nice. they even have access to a beautiful private beach in case you want to avoid the messiness of the other public ones. Definitely look up this spot if you ever travel into Amalfi. webcam girls webcam tube

... after lunch to get back to the ship in Napoli. After lunch we strolled down the beach and picked up some sea glass and smoothed pieces of painted ceramic tile from the sand and then decided to relax a bit. There were some crazy Aussies swimming so we eventually decided to check the water, it wasn’t bad so we put our feet in but the wind was too fierce for us to want to go for a swim. The sun was warm so we ...

... in the air shivering. But we got some great pictures.

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.

... pizza, pasta typical local food" which translates into, “we are gonna rip you off with food that you think is authentic” - 18 Euro for two slices of pizza and two lemon sodas.

After the rain, we bussed to Ravello and wandered around there for a while. We did not really know what to do there as we did not check our travel guide before going and we always heard just seeing the views was worth the trip. They were, we could see Amalfi and took a few ...

... or cliff out the front window and all of a sudden there would be the road again. The only thing missing was the little girl screams. We were very impressed we lived for one and two for the talent of a busdriver in the Amalfi Coast. At times there was only a few inches between the bus and a car or the cliff side, or buildings, or anything that was on or near the road.

We finally arrived in the ...

Espectacular la Costiera Amalfitana! Lo mas lindo es Ravello sobre la montania y con vista al mar. Amalfi es muy lindo tambien y Positano perdio el brillo del jet set y es ahora un lugar mediocre. Manejar por estos lugares es demencial, lo unico que sirve es 1) moto 2) minicooper de otra forma tirate al mar antes de llegar para evitar la tortura del manejo zig zag a lo Schumacher...

My senses are overwhelmed with the beauty that is the Amalfi Coast. I thought the bus ride yesterday was so amazing, well this one was only one Euro and a million times better. Seriously, my jaw was agape the whole bus ride. Every time the bus takes a turn the scenery gets more beautiful. I am slightly in love. So when we arrived in Amalfi we looked around a bit, then followed a walk from my tour book ...

... to the Hilton - instead of going back to the train station stop - so we trudged up the hill and are now sitting on the rooftop writing this. I must admit - it is very windy and I can barely see the lights in Naples and the outline of Mt. Vesuvius. Maybe tomorrow will be the day that we see a change in the weather. Jim is on his third glass of wine - he is reading the International Herald Tribune (A little negative as it is put out by the New York Times ) Jim ...

... to say, that everyone who's told us that it's a scary trip is definitely not right! It's fine... there's railing all the way along, so the bus has no chance of falling off. However, if you were to drive it yourself it would be scary! Not because of the potential of falling off, but the likelihood of being run over by the big bus as it comes around corners... for anyone considering driving, just remember that if you hear the bus horn as you are about to come ...
