Hotel La Bougainville Anacapri

Since it was raining in Sorrento I decided to skip the Amalfi coast and Capri. With my extra time I wanted to hit the pizza place Di Matteo that was supposedly better than Da Michele. You know me, I'm an equal opportunity pizza eater. I have no loyalties except to whomever serves up the best pie.<br><br>The reason why I hadn't tried Di Matteo previously was because I thought it was only take-away. I walked all around the perimeter of the restaurant before and couldn't see any ...

... not like a modern city where you can tell someone to turn left at the blue house with the white car out front. It would be like saying turn left at the ruined house with 19 remaining bricks. Oh Josie, you're losing your audience, what the heck are you talking about? MY POINT: Pompei is a big, ruined city that is hard to navigate without a guide. <br><br>I took a ton of photos and have added captions to help explain what you're looking ...

Tomorrow morning we catch a train for Sorrento. We will be there for 4 nights. We will take day trip to Amalfi, but we will not be staying at the hotel there. Joe and I decided that our stay on the Amalfi coast will be more enjoyable if we do not change hotels , so we extended our stay at the hotel in Sorrento, and cancelled the one in Amalfi. Just wanted to let everyone know in case you needed to reach us.

First and foremost, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA!!!!!!<br><br>Today I tried out the Rick Steve's (and I think also Eat, Pray, Love) recommended Da Michelle. Holy **** it was good. SOOOOO good. The ambiance was totally different from Sobrillo. It was just a very basic, classic 50's style plain diner. And no annoying money-grubbers. They seated me with a couple at a 4-top and we hit it off well. They were from Malaysia. So now, of ...

From Rome we headed south to Positano. Once in Sorento we hired a cab to take us the rest away the way, along a very narrow winding road about 150 meters above the sea. For this driver the lines dividing the highway were merely suggestions and blind corners ************cern. The views were spectacular, however the cliff edge road ...

... 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 ...

... Anacapri and then the port. It was all uphill on the way back!!! It was a much nicer ride as I had a seat. We found a quaint little restaurant and had lunch there. It was probably the best food we've had yet and still reasonably priced. Then we caught the ferry to Naples. We ended up having to stand on the back as the inside where the seats were was too hot. Unfortunately, some man also thought this was a toilet, so then we had to move yet again.<br>

... Panta Rei" exclusive lunch--Caprese salad, pasta and prosciutto, and veal, with finger dolci and coffee--we launched into final rehearsal, hair, and make-up. And the Angel Devil Fall 2007 Show began! This is the runway. I was third on stage, but the way things were choreographed, the first two models out looked like they were introducing me since they stopped halfway down the runway ...

... started getting ready for bed. The final straw, though, was when I was down in the foyer area by myself typing email and I heard a funny squeaking/scritching sound from the window next to me, and while I was turning my head to look, it slammed violently shut. Though I am logically aware it was either A) the wind or B) a cat, I nearly jumped out of my skin. After that, I huddled under the covers reading until I could sleep. No more eleven ...
