Hotel Palma Campobasso

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.

Sunday caught the train out to Pompei which was ginormous!
I think we only saw ...

... so far.
Naples is not a nice city, but it's a cool city. Venice, Florence, Verona are all nice, but once you've seen the sights, there isn't much else to them.

Walking around the Spaccanapoli district saw some really cool stalls and shops - some that looked like they had been there for ages and not changed much at all. Old school book stores with books piled high and seemingly without any order or system, a stretch on San Sebastiano that ...

... Yah. Okay." I realized at that point that these were probably his only English words and decided to listen to my Ipod for the rest of the journey and watch the scenery. The minibus took us up to the gate, gave us our passes, and we entered the park. The driver gave us exactly 1 hour and twenty minutes to climb to the top, take a few pictures, and meet back at the bus. We were disappointed as we had packed a picnic lunch and wanted to spend a little more time up there, but when we got ...

Barb and Alex had a personal mission to visit Isernia in the Molise Province so we headed off to explore the interior of Italy. Isernia was small and definitely not a tourist location so we were able to experience a true siesta afternoon where nothing, I mean nothing was open, had the best Italian meal in all of our travels, struggled with the language as no one new English, wandered through all the small streets and just had a nice day.

We continued walking through the palace and by the time we reached the back I knew we were in trouble. The packs weighed about 1000 pounds by then. I saw a horse and carriage and figured this was the way to go. They quoted us 15 ...

We we wake up in Pompeii and pack our bags. After that we get our free breakfast, it is a cream filled croissant and a cup of hot chocolate, GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!!! Katie, Adam and I are walking to the ruins. We are sad that Marty didn't make it, and we hope all is well with him. As we are walking, I notice someone is videotaping us from the other side of the street. I look close and it is MARTY! He ended up camping out last night ...

We did it!!!!! We neever thought we would make it, but we are here in Pompeii, Italy. It is famous for the ruins of a city that got destroyed and preserved when Mount Vesuvius said "I'm gonna blow!!!!!" We found the only hostel in the city with no trouble. The thre of us showered and then we went looking for food. We found ...
