Hotel Pupetto Positano

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 !

I am so far behind with this blog. Partly, it's because we have traveled every single month during 2009. There's so much to tell & show that unless I write every week, I'm always several trips behind. The other problem is ...

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!!!!!

... 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.

nombreux a parler et ou comprendre autre chose que l'italien. Ils
n'ont aucun sens du civisme, cela viens probablement de leur
egocentricite. Je dois dire que depuis le debut de notre voyage, nous
ne sommes pas impressione par leur comportements!

... in Amalfi where we bought some meat, cheese and bread from a small supermarket. Another lesson in Italian for Ryan here – the plural form of etto (roughly 100 grams of anything from a deli counter) is etti. Dué (two) etto is incorrect and the guy behind the counter politely corrected Ryan. Hey at least he didn’t just walk in and ask for 200 grams of provolone in English like the British guy behind us did.

... of the hills. Oh well, it was visible in all the postcards lining the shop walls! We had lunch on a terrace overlooking the valley, at Albergo Villa Maria - Jim had ravioli and I had some type of flat pasta noodle with porcini mushrooms. At around 2:00 we caught the bus back to Amalfi. This is where all the rich and famous people hobnob. It's a very busy, beautiful town right on the coast, with houses built up on the cliff in ways that defy the ...

... there sought it out to enjoy as part of our lovely beach interlude. Amazing how those feelings and memories come back so fast, because when I realized just days before we arrived there that Wimbledon would be into its second week (ie finalstime) I iiinstantly thought back to how much we had all loved lazing in front of the big matches all those years ago, between swims/siestas and nibbles, and I knew this would be just the same... and it was.
