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>

... 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.

... 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 ...

... they found, a pregnant woman, slaves etc all with expressions of horror on their faces. Most of them suffocated as teh ash floated down from the mountain.<br><br>The breeze at the top of the city was beautiful... and the view spectacular.. the guys trying to sell stuff to the tourists were very much in your face and some of hte stuff they had.. very explicit.. lol<br><br>Another 3 hours home! Early night !!!!

... corner on Ramona and it was about 1.5 miles across. We saw most of it, including the plaster molds of bodies that was in the ash they dug up.<br><br>After Pompei, we took a train back to Salerno. We had some pizza dinner (again) and some gelatto (again).<br><br>We walked around town a bit and saw some of the Salerno sites. None were too interesting, but the city was great. It wasn't nearly as touristy as other places we've been and it was very nice.<br>

... used figures and pictures for communication. i believe that this is why the city was so preserved because we would never know what really happened to the city of pompei if the people and artifacts of Pompei were carbonized and preserved by the ash, sulfa gas, and stones that fell from the volcanic eruption. <br><br>at the end of the tour we were told that the Coral means good luck and protection to the sailors. it ...

We had a full day today! Woke up nice and early (I'm starting to see a trend here) and started heading south for a few day trip. After a few hours of mindless conversation and napping we arrived at our first destination for the day... Pompei! Ever since we had learned that we were going to be spending a least some time in Pompei I was stoked to leave for the south trip. Pompei was yet another place that i had to study for my art history class sophomore year but i ...

... reached the point where you could only proceed with a licensed Vesuvius guide. This we didn't mind, as we had run out of time anyway, and the hike to the top looked like it would take at least another hour. Afterwards, we toured ancient Herculaneum, a town that had been razed by an eruption hundreds of years ago. A small town, it is still being excavated, and it's structures were better preserved than Pompeii. Back on the ...
