Hotel Majestic Molise Termoli

Nous avons pris l'autobus publique pour atteindre le sommet du vesus, le volcan n'a pas tellement a offrir, mais la vue sur la bay est vraiment belle. Ensuite, nous avons visités les ruines d'Herculaneom. Une autre ville disparue sous l'eruption du vesus il y a pres de 2000 ans. il y a encore beaucoup de travail d'archeologie en cours, mais on peut voir que la ville est meiux conserver, il y a meme des batiments de 2 et 3 etages et des pieces de bois qui ont traversé le temps !

... TravelPod" is a complete pain in the a@$ to use. For our 2010 "Radical Sabbatical" trip to Asia, I'm switching to another web service.

But, I've promised myself that I'll update this blog before we leave Naples...

Ola Kala: simply, OK (in Greek). No time for lots of flap.....we're on the go. The Vatican Museums await us (and we can hardly wait to do more walking!). Enjoy the pictures and we'll fill you in on the adventure next time I make the time to sit and gab.

We're still having a grand time!!!!!

apres toutes ces belles villes d'italie, voici naples: l'afreuse! On pourrait aussi dire bienvenue a Verdun en Italie! Ici, la ville est sale, les ruessont ornés d'une grande quantité de déchest et aussi bondées de vendeur itinérants qui fuient des que les patrouilles d'immigrations arrivent!

il y a quand meme quelque beau quartier plus propres et plus tranquille, mais cela passe presque inapperçu! Nous avons visiter la place centrale, une ...

on quitte orvieto pour se rendre a
naples. Le train a 30 min de retard et une fois monter a bord, le
retard s'accumule. On a passer la journee dans le train et on est
arrive a naples avec plus d'une heures de retard. Ce n'est pas
tellement grave, il a plue presque tout la journee. Enfin a notre
Naples, Campania, Italy frdrick

... half of the ruins, but saw some really amzing stuff.
Pity we couldn't get into the large arena as it was blocked off and looked really impressive from what we could see from the outside.

Found a really cool red leather satchel to replace my old grey nylon one that has given me 9or10 years of service.
Florentine leather - so nice...
Also went to get 1 more tripe roll before leaving town and discovered they had beef too so tried one of them instead. Just as amazing as the tripe one!!!

The train ride from ...

... my first encounter with the glowing waters of the Adriatic Sea and rushed back to the car. Next stop was the town of Atessa. Apparently Atessa was not a very touristy town. We realized this as we walked through the streets of the old town and people looked at us, making us feel not too welcome. "Yes we are tourists and we do not speak your language" cried Adriano as a group of elderly men stopped dead in their tracks to ...

... a place we could spend an entire vacation. With over 150 marked trails we barely saw a glimpse of what it had to offer. Our drive south was wave after wave of incredible scenery. Particularly beautiful was the Largo di Barrea. A huge lake in the middle of the mountains, that was incredibly blue. The view of the lake from the road side lookout in Barrea was amazing. Given that it was Sunday our chances to find an open restaurant were slim ...

... as well, except for the fact that the driver felt the need to toot the horn numerous times very 10 - 20 seconds, no joke. This train was also riding precariously close to the coast as well, which made the journey rather scary. It did not help either that the little old Greek lady sitting across the aisle from us was making the sign of the cross just as often as the train's horn tooted! Thank God Post was meeting us at the train station, as unbeknownst to us, the ...
