Regina Cristina Capri

... 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>

... The most sobering realization was just how similar these people were to us. Sure, there are obvious differences, but in reality we haven't come 'so far' in 2000 years. The basics are still the same. Maybe you'll disagree. But take a look at some of the pix and let me know. <br><br>Mitch, I hope I caught everything you were looking for. And before flipping through the photos ask your parents if you can look at the brothel photos, okay?<br>

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 ...

... umbrella and raincoat got soaked through to our underwear! Next day it rained hard too but did not mind a lazy day with no sightseeing. The city of Naples has a few nice areas but is a really dirty city and one day of sightseeing was plenty. Seeing Naples and Mt. Vesuvius from a distance is the best way to see them but south of Naples and the Almafi coast is not to be missed.

... cross and then followed them.<br><br>The CitySightseeing buses were a great way to view the city in a short period of time. As the bus navigated around the city streets, we noticed that the car of choice was the smart car. Good thing! I could not imagine driving anything larger in this city! Parking was a premium everywhere! Anywhere you could find enough space the size of a throw rug, you ...

... million dollar villas with beautiful gardens and numerous lemon trees. <br><br>Then we walked into town. We were exhausted, dehydrated, and sweating profusely after having hiked all day in our tee shirts and shorts in the heat and humidity of the island. We certainly did not appear to belong among the well dressed, sophisticated shoppers who were browsing the Cartier, Prada, and other high end stores of one of the most expensive shopping streets in the world. So ...

... way up to the town. Capri is very beautiful and has great views out to the sea. The town is high up in the mountains. We walked around and then had an amazing lunch of gnocchi, pasta, and the best tiramisu for dessert. But my favorite part was that we got to ride in a convertible taxi on the way back down to the harbor. That was awesome! Tonight, we went to dinner in Positano. During dinner, we suddenly heard fireworks and rushed outside to see ...

... was the joke about a female snake and a mouse told in Italian), coupled with great wine. After dinner we went altogether for a short stroll around midnight and then sat outside for a few drinks at Bar Tiberio under a canopy of scintillating stars. I called it an evening at around 1:30AM, for I had to wake up early to catch the ferry to Amalfi in a few hours. The adventure continues along the alluring Amalfi Coast (with stunning photos, I promise) in the next blog.

... made. After measuring our foot we picked out the style of sandal we wanted and the color leather and Giuseppe did the rest. It was marvelous and I can't wait to strut my stuff in my two new pairs of Capri sandals. The island was absolutely beautiful and the water was so blue and more beautiful then any other water I've seen. I wish I had another day to spend soaking up the beauty but it was off to Pompeii the following day for a more rugged adventure.

... I wish I sang a ****** version of Bennie and the Jets...anything! seriously! I returned up to Anacapri to take a cable lift up to Monte Solaro, the highest point on the island. The cable lift was great, just a one person ski-lift style chair which guided you through the outer edge of touristy town. The 10-15 minute ride let you see people's personal vineyards in their backyards, great statues made of dropped items (from riders), and gorgeous vegitation areas of many colored flowers. From ...
