Mediterranea Salerno

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!!!!!

... 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. Puis ensuite nous avons visiter le vieux quartier ou les rues tres etroites ne laisse pas entrée les raysons du soleil ! Il y a meme une rue ou l'on ne retrouve que des commerces d'articles de noel. tout pour se refaire une creche ou redecorer l'arbre a chaque année!

... 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!

OK, so we're living on an Olive Farm for a while now.
Bohemian? Yes
Practical? Only when its sunny and only when its not olive picking season.
So what season is it now? Olive picking and its raining.

Welcome to our own little corner of Glastonbury

... 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.

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 ...

... were use to the rough side, we again were warned not to free camp in the area as campers getting robbed was unfortunately common so at least it was good Dad was with us and we would get to camp in safety.


Thats if we could find a site! We drove up the mountains opposite Vesuvius towards the Amalfi coast, the climb gave us great views but it wasn't easy driving the Amalfi coast road was narrow and bendy and so steep there are again still no camp sites in sight. The day was ...

... beaten. The day's saving grace was the leftover pizza we had planned to eat for dinner. Par for the course, it had been mistakenly thrown out of the common fridge. We went to bed grumpy and pizzaless. Day 2- We awoke early and struck out for Pompeii. First in the park and armed with audio guides, we planned to see every inch of the dusty city if for no other reason than to ensure we got our monies worth. We packed a lunch making sure we would not go ...

... hanging from the balcony that stretches out past the kitchen. He reached his free hand to my window. I began to think about how funny the situation was. I was locked in a bathroom with an ancient lock in southern Italy with a man dangling from a balcony three stories high, trying to aid my escape.
