Il Girasole Anacapri

... the best pizza you ever have had and ever will have. This is your last day in Italy. You came back to Naples specifically to eat at this pizzeria."<br><br>Yep, I ordered a second pizza. The waiter asked if I wanted him to make it a small margherita. I said, "Nah." literally while I had a fork raised carrying a bite from my prima pizza. I ate both of those pizzas and I was so happy. I had also had a hefty beer. Needless to say I slept the entire train ride from Naples to Rome.<br>

... See ya. He immediately came over to me and said, "Wait, wait. If you pay 15euro we can start now." Uh, no. "Okay, okay, c'mon, let's go. We'll get started now." Oh yeah. Look at me working my consumer power.<br><br>I'm glad that I opted for the guide. Pompei/ii really is a city. It's not just a little archeological site closed in by a fence, it's a full on city with neighborhoods and roads and everything. But because it's all ruins it ...

Tomorrow morning we catch a train for Sorrento. We will be there for 4 nights. We will take day trip to Amalfi, but we will not be staying at the hotel there. Joe and I decided that our stay on the Amalfi coast will be more enjoyable if we do not change hotels , so we extended our stay at the hotel in Sorrento, and cancelled the one in Amalfi. Just wanted to let everyone know in case you needed to reach us.

... the town decimated but preserved from Mt. Vesuvius erupting in the first century. Throughout the week, we had the pleasure of being wined and dined by Sophie&#8217;s parents and we had some amazing food, the seafood was stellar.<br><br>Positano Pictures<br>http://picasaweb.google.com /Jonny.D.Lawrence/20091030Positano?auth key ...

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 ...

... park a smart car. And nobody got parking tickets. <br><br>Our first bus tour, on the red bus, began at the Castel Nuovo and headed north to the Museo de Campodimonte passing the Fontana in via Medina, Convitto Nationale (National School in Naples), Basilica de Santa Maria della Sanita and the Church of Madre del Buon Consiglio along the way. <br><br>Returning to the bus terminal, we ...

... seemed to be the site to see in Capri. The island seemed quite small so we decided to walk. After about 15 minutes straight uphill and getting pretty lost we decided we had better take public transport. We made our way back to the port where the bus stop was and waited for the bus which does not seem to run that frequently. The line up was incredibly long and the buses are really small. When the bus finally came people crowded in and we decided ...

... of the bend, and onto a walkway that spiraled down between houses. Minutes later I emerged onto Via Roma where my adventures began. My eyes turned and scaled the mountains I had just been on and literally ran down. What an experience. I checked the time on my phone, and was quite happy to see that ...

... blue. It wouldn't surprise me if there are blue lights hidden down below! Wasn't really worth it in the end, but I guess it's a must-do in Italy. I'd never do it again ... unless maybe if a beautiful Spanish girl asked me to! Heh heh ... I must admit, Capri is beautiful. I hiked to the Arco Naturale - amazing! I wish I had brought my camera. It was like staring through the eye of a needle into the ocean. I ate a canned Mexican tuna salad for lunch as I admired it. These ...

... a corner to stand (the dog sat) eventually, but we have no idea why she felt she was so very special. Because she was Italian and half the line wasn't? What did the other Italians think of her? We easily caught the ferry to Sorrento, with time for a gelato first, and found the hotel, an old convent in Sant'Agnello, with minimal problems. We only walked the wrong way for maybe a kilometer and got on the wrong bus once. From the outside ...
