Hotel Palacavicchi Rome

... it on the street. The line up for the Colosseum was CRAZY!! I couldn´t imagine going there during high season. Luckily we had a tip in our book to go buy your tickets at the Palatine, so we did and there was NO LINE UP!! We decided to walk around the Palatine and the Forum first seeing as how we were there. Its basically old ruins of and old city. There are tons of random half and partial walls everywhere, pillars and buildings ...

... br><br>We met Sarah and Katie for brekky before they had to set off. Was nice to hang with them once more before they went their seperate way. Then after killing a few hours, we were off on our train ride too. Our only way of getting to Rome, through Geneva. <br><br>We spent the better part of 5 hours wandering through the Swiss capital and were really ready to get a bed, as was promised, on our over night train to Rome. Geneva seemed like a nice enough city, just, not alot ...

And as predicted, I distinctly recall the pleasant tinkling of a jackhammer when I awoke this morning, feeling congested and sweaty, but surprisingly well rested.

... followed by our port call in Napoli (Naples) and a day trip over to the Island of Capri. Famous for "The Blue Grotto", Joe and I rented a scooter in pursuit of this show...and also to take in the roads cut into high cliffs above clear blue Mediterranean seas. The Blue Grotto is a cave set into a coastal cliff, with a very narrow and shallow entrance-rowboats bring you into this gem in between ocean swells by means of a chain at the entrance. When the swells permit, everybody ...
