OK, so we're living on an Olive Farm for a while now.<br>Bohemian? Yes<br>Practical? Only when its sunny and only when its not olive picking season.<br>So what season is it now? Olive picking and its raining.<br><br>Welcome to our own little corner of Glastonbury<br>

... area. Well, since I had been told it existed I went in with more confidence. Indeed. It was the LARGEST seating area of any of the pizza contestants. There was a small area next to the kitchen that was off a small entry way -- hidden from the street. Then upstairs there were at least 4 rooms with simple chairs and tables. Just waiting to be the lucky support of some delicious pizza.<br><br>I ordered the Buffala pizza. Mozzarella di Buffala (HEY! Does that mean from Buffalo milk ...

... the maniac behind the wheel were enough to make you feel nautious. Sophie's parents had rented a villa in the heard of the village, with amazing patios and views of the sea. From Positano we did a couple of day trips to Capri, a small island about a 35 minute ferry ride of the coast and a trip to Pompeii to the ancient Roman ruins ...

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 ...

... taking one of those CitySightseeing Buses. The same kind we took in Barcelona where passengers were able to hop on and hop off at any stop. <br><br>We were warned about the traffic in Naples and that caution was needed when crossing any street. Although we thought the traffic hectic, cars had no choice but to yield when groups of people were crossing the street. So, we waited for the locals ...

... all pieced together like lego with stunning terraced farming along the way showing off the countless citrus groves. It was great until the kid behind me couldn't handle the windy roads and shared his lunch with his lap and a lucky few around him, I included. So much for that moment. The place we booked was in Atrani, a small village less then a kilometre from Amalfi town itself. A fabulous spot away from the hordes but close enough to run to the shop for picnic supplies ...

... scenery, and times of fearing for your life as the bus flew around hairpin turns hundreds of feet up on a cliff with a 2 foot barrier between us and the fall. The bus ride took 2 1/2 hours to get there. We took our bags and walked on the street around the corner to Atrani where our hostel was. The beach there was a little crescent shaped black sand beach surrounded by large walls with a tunnel leading through the wall to the city. We checked into our ...

... at about 10:30 that night. We didn't get to shower after we were in the ocean in Atrani, so we could not have smelled good. I know that my think hair was looking especially sexy, almost pulling off an afro. I really do need to get it cut very soon. Sorry for the short blog, but it is Monday and I'm feeling kind of sick. Thought it was allergies at first, but it is definitely something more. Luckily, it's pretty ****** outside here, so I don ...

... coast to get to Atrani, the village we were staying in. The hostel was tucked away back through a couple sets of stairs, but we found it eventually, and left our things there. The hostel was what I had envisioned hostels being from the start (my first of this kind). It was a large space broken down originally into large rooms and bathrooms, then in to smaller rooms by dividing walls of sheet-rock (no ceilings). This gave it an ...

... but pretty much not on ANY map of Rome that we were able to see. It took about an hour almost to drive there, which the hotel owner generiously offered to do. He took us up to the room, showed us around, walked us over to the tram stop that we would be able to take into the city, showed us how to use it and then left us to it. By the timewe got out of the hotel and back into town it was almost 6:30. We did the metro hopping and saw the Coloseum as it got dark, the ...
