San Giovanni Ischia

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!

on quitte orvieto pour se rendre a
naples. Le train a 30 min de retard et une fois monter a bord, le
retard s'accumule. On a passer la journee dans le train et on est
arrive a naples avec plus d'une heures de retard. Ce n'est pas
tellement grave, il a plue presque tout la journee. Enfin a notre
Naples, Campania, Italy frdrick

... 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.

... 6 or 7 music stores in 1 block- one of which had guitars, lutes and other stringed instruments dating back to the late 1800's.


Also discovered that the food options in Naples are a lot better than northern Italy with a lot more meat based snacks and fried snacks available to eat whilst wandering the streets.
No wonder northern Italians are so skinny and short - their food options for decent snacks are so limited compared to the south ...

... some small trips in different parts of the island which was beautiful, except for the poor stray animals who were wandering everywhere... that is a really bad point to speak about the places we were in the South of Italy. It was a nice time there, but we would have liked to enjoy the beaches a bit more, which were great!

We stayed in the town of Atrani which is a 5 minute walk from the town of Amalfi. Atrani is a very small fishing village in the hills of the coast. To get to the various towns you have to drive or take the busses that go to each of the towns. The towns are connected by very narrow and very curvy roads. The trip to the towns is most of the fun. Its amazing to see the drivers of the busses maneuver these coach size busses on these roads. They have a horn signal that they give when they ...

... Chatting away saying that he needed to get gas but would meet us at the cafe where Bloom was perched, completely oblivious to all the horns honking and people screaming about the hold up. He putted away and met us about a half hour later. He went on and on about the view from the hostel and how wonderful everything was - finally we told him that he didn't need to try and sell it, we were sold. Then he asked if we had an aversion to steps, there were almost 300 to get there. I said ...
