Rufolo Ravello

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 !

l'auberge pour manger a moindre cout!




Rendu au milieu de notre voyage, voici
quelques constatations sur l'italie. Les restros sont tres cher! Le
vin est probablement l'article le moins cher sur une facture de
restaurant!! ; les italiens et ...

... half of the ruins, but saw some really amzing stuff.
Pity we couldn't get into the large arena as it was blocked off and looked really impressive from what we could see from the outside.

... so far.
Naples is not a nice city, but it's a cool city. Venice, Florence, Verona are all nice, but once you've seen the sights, there isn't much else to them.

Walking around the Spaccanapoli district saw some really cool stalls and shops - some that looked like they had been there for ages and not changed much at all. Old school book stores with books piled high and seemingly without any order or system, a stretch on San Sebastiano that ...

... me and Carol is going to take a tender into town to try to phone home and just wander around the town. I leave first so will tell my day and then Carol will tell hers. It did feel strange to be going off without Carol, and since I was the only single on the tender had no one to talk or walk with when we docked. We all got on the full sized bus and headed up the road to Ravello-this is a place I have heard of and was surprised to find it is a very small village with a big ...

... Remo, for dinner. At first I went along with it, but after a few minutes of waiting around, I started to feel uncomfortable around them and wanted to back out - Unfortunately Rebecca had her heart set on dinner with them so I felt compelled to go along. We set off for the restaurant with me feeling more and more uncomfortable as well as lightheaded from all the wine I'd consumed earlier on. By the time we sat down at the restaurant, I was ...

Mum decided she would join us for the last leg of the journey which was a half hour ish walk up the steep path to the rim of the crater. So me, my brother (Andrew) and my Dad set off. It sure was hot and the sandy like path didn't help, but in all honestly i was fine and it wasn't that difficult (Dad disagreed as he struggled up, but he ...
