Hotel San Paolo Naples

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 ...

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

... babies on scooters fighting their way through the insane pre-lunch traffic. The lady from Scotland staying at the same hotel who was mugged in her car before she was able to check in. The charming six room hotel, La Stanza del Vicere, with the equally charming Dutch owner, Maxim, was my saving grace in Naples.

And then last night, I arrived in.......the city of light. I love Paris.

... at Naples and surrounding isles like Capri that is truly breathtaking. They were selling wine at the top and some type of local alcohol called "Limeocella," both of which were delicious after the hike. After feeling quite accomplished for the first day, we were starving and set out for a true Italian dinner......at a local Chinese Restaurant. Okay, it was a pitstop, but the "Shark fin soup" and "Clouds of Dragon" were absolutely delicious. Afterwards, we ...

... but it was quite a treat! So Naples in broad daylight is quite a turn off. It a word...ghetto. Not eactly the ideal picture of cleanliness and order. We spent the morning walking around this really neat castle and then in the afternoon we took a bus to Pompei. Pompei was certainly the highlight of the weekend and walking around all those ruins was very neat. As for this next week, tomorrow we have a trip to Foiano for a Carnivale festival, Wednesday we are going to Ravenna ...

... out of there alive. It should be said however that Naples is beautifully located within a bay and provides fantastic views with the famous Vesuvio in the background. Unfortunately, we had no chance to shoot nice photos because, as described above, we had other things on our minds at the time. To get something out of this leg of our trip we went a bit further, to Pompeii where Edyta went inside the famous site of the volcanic disaster.
