L'argine Fiorito Atrani

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 ...

... ne sont pas tres
acceuillant, en tout cas, ils ont souvent l'air bete. Ils sont peu
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!

The Amalfi Coast is certainly something that we were looking forward to. We had heard about it as being one of the most beautiful bits of coastline on the planet. It did not disappoint. As we were riding our bus from Salerno (where the closest train station is) along impossibly narrow and windy roads we were amazed at each village one after another after another. The towns are built right into the sheer rock cliffs that stretch for about 50km. We could see beautifully coloured ...

Day 25 (Sun) We woke up before we were allowed to check out so we got on the computers for a little bit and waited for breakfast. Breakfast was boring and not very good again so we checked out and headed to Sorrento. We got to Sorrento an hour later here we got on a bus for Amalfi. The bus ride weaved all over the peninsula before heading down the coast; the views from the top of the peninsula hill were great. The bus ride to Amalfi was filled great views ...

We got up today, had a delicious and free breakfast at the hostel, checked out and hit the beach for a couple hours. It was overcast, but the water felt great. They have the best skipping stones here, even though they are actually not stones but smoothed and rounded bits of tile. We headed over to Amalfi and caught the noon bus back to Sorrento. The rest of the day was spent traveling back to Napoli, then Rome, then finally arriving in ...

Today was spent in transit and in awe. We checked out just after eight and took the forty minute train out to Sorrento, then caught a bus that took us all the way out to Amalfi. This was a wild bus ride. It took a little more than two hours, but it went through some pretty wild turns. I must have taken about fifty pictures on that bus alone, and hopefully they all turn out. When we got to Amalfi, it was a ten minute walk around ...

SO we've finally made it to the south. The Amali Coast. It took a bit of hassle, but it's relaxing now that we are finally here. We arrived from Venice into Rome around 2:30pm yesterday. Got to our hotel easy enough, only to find that they had not received our reservation yet again. Seriously, once was enough. So they had a room for us in another apartment on the other side of the train station to where we were supposed to stay. Well, yes it was on the other side of the ...
