Hotel La Pergola 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>

... 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.

... as we depart and leave the Bay of Naples, we sail south through the Messina Straits around the toe of Italy toward the Greek Island of Mykonos. But we don't arrive there until October 1st, so that means we enjoy a relaxing day at sea! So far, the weather has been fantastic! Very warm temperatures and little to no cloud! Hope it continues! Se ya tomorrow! Ciao! Rick &amp; Elsie!<br><br>

... would arrange for a 80 euro taxi from the airport to the hotel. Of course I was sure that this was some sort of scam since the hotel was roughly the same price per night and so I said I would "call them back". I tried to find ways to get there by public transportation but it seemed a little too much to be dealing with at night. Imagining that my sister and I would be stranded in some village because we missed a bus or train, I just decided to bite the ...

Leaving Salerno we began our trip to the Amalfi coast, which was amongst other things really really scary! Here we discovered the true meaning of rally driving, however the locals didn't appreciate our granny attempt! As we drove, with Kate behind the wheel, on narrow roads with hairpin bends every 20 metres along the edge of a cliff, we were shocked to see Italians doing this at 70km/hr! At this point Sharm reminded us that Grace Kelly died on this very road ...

... We'll call him Fabrizio. Fabrizio showed us to his lovely boat which Greg had booked just for us! Soon we were on our way towards the island of Capri which at that stage was just a small rock in the distance. We relaxed on the bed-like back of the boat and checked out the scenery. Finally we were there and as Fabrizio slowed the boat I started snapping pics of the beautiful rock formations. As we passed through a tunnel through one of the rocks I was so excited I ...

... Davide, the never-ending Luigi saga for me, and the Chris disaster for Eef. On the BBQ night, when the hostel was filled with attractive young travellers, we drank dozens of bottles of wine, and went out dancing at a so tacky it's funny club called Rocco's. By night's ened, everyone had made out with everyone else, there had been tears, drunken arguements, and Carolyn was MIA (though found before dawn). It was just one of those nights - fun in it's crazy ...

Expecting a little bit from the Amalfi Coast after my parents have raved about it for years, I was not disappointed one bit. Had one of the best times of the trip in Amalfi - a small town on a beautiful coastline, with a great small-town feeling. Even better was the town in which we stayed - only a 10 minute walk from Amalfi, a place called Atrani. We got to know quite a few local ...
