Hotel Punta Imperatore Forio

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 !

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

... aire déserter par les habitants de naples, et puis ensuite on c'est refugier dans le chateau ouvo pemdamt l'orage. nous avons eu un excellent point vue sur le volcan Vesuve. Puis ensuite nous avons visiter le vieux quartier ou les rues tres etroites ne laisse pas entrée les raysons du soleil ! Il y a meme une rue ou l'on ne retrouve que des commerces d'articles de noel. tout pour se refaire une creche ou redecorer l'arbre a chaque année!

... 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 ...

Stayed in a small town south of Naples (Vico Enquense) which was right on the water (in a rather remote cove). We rented an apartment for the week which was part of a hotel complex. At the beginning of our trip, we met Tony (from Jersey City) who was from Vico and told us where to get the best pizza and his wife was from Sorrento (which is just south of Vico) so we had some ...

... we entered a small grocer and purchased some wine to take back and enjoy in our cabin. We found that a bottle of wine cost 2 to 7 euros, which was a lot cheaper than a bottle of Italian Chianti or French Bordeaux at $35-40 USD in the dining room. Although they were good, they weren't unique! As a practice, we've always enjoyed drinking locally made wines wherever we've traveled.

... we were at the very back of the train and had to tote all of our luggage through crowds of people to the last car. Everyone was already seated as we were still attempting to find our seats with luggage trailing behind us. A gentleman who I later discovered was traveling with his family helped us get our luggage properly stored and we plopped down in our seats to get ready for our next ride. The ride from Roma Termini to Naples was long but very interesting. We saw ...

... stand where we got out tickets for the Sorrento train. Not only that, he walked us to the track to make sure that we got there safely. So friggin' NICE! It's kinda pitiful that that all seems so uncommon to me. People here are just as I wish they behaved anywhere else. Just such genuine character. On a side note: We got a good kick out of Gino for a different reason. So, he was just totally Euro'd out, right. Short canary yellow shorts, flashy sunglasses the whole train ...

... nothing will happen. He or she is probably talking on his/her phone or to a fellow officer or having a snack. Being on the street makes life interesting. Gas stations are merely pumps alongside a street or road. There is a widening of the pavement and the car or motor scooter merely pulls off and gasses up. During the winter many Vespas are fitted out with tops to protect the driver from the rain. Interestingly, I don't remember seeing a windscreen on them. One thing that did ...
