Day 4
Ausflug in die Antike II
March 22, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Besonders gefallen haben mir die Villen und die darin enthaltenen Fresken. Dazu war das Wetter perfekt und ich hatte einen grandiosen Vormittag am Fuße des Vesuv, der übrigens 1944 zum letzten Mal ausgebrochen ist. Ob und wann genau eine neue Eruption droht, lässt sich nur schwer voraussagen. Also ich kann darauf sehr gut verzichten und hoffe, dass er ruhig bleibt. Zum Abschied habe ich noch eines der vielen Phallussymbole gefunden, von denen es in Pompeii wohl viele gibt. Nicht unbedingt als Zeichen überbordender Männlichkeit, vielmehr sollte der Penis den bösen Blick abwehren, Glück und Fruchtbarkeit bringen und vor dem zu nahen Herantreten an die gefährlich heißen Kochstellen warnen. Besonders letztes finde ich zum Schreien komisch.Read more

Traveler Pompeji hätten wir auch gerne besucht. Leider nichts für Lahme und Rollatornutzer .

Day 3
Königliche Aussicht
March 21, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
Nach einer kurzen Pause habe ich mich auf den Weg zum Bagni Regina Giovanna am Kap von Sorrento gemacht. Der größte Teil des Weges führte entlang einer Straße ohne Fußweg, es war grauenvoll. Aber dann kam das absolute Highlight des Tages. Angefangen bei der schönen Badebucht über die Ruinen der alten römischen Villa bis zum Blick von der Felsenterrasse über das Meer und auf Sorrent. Das Ganze begleitet von einem wundervollen Sonnenuntergang. Hätte ich den schrecklichen Rückweg nicht vor mir gehabt, wäre ich definitiv länger dort geblieben. Es war traumhaft und der Wind hat mir den Kopf mächtig freigeblasen.Read more

Day 7
Ravello
March 25, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Der letzte Stop war das Bergdorf Ravello. Dort wäre ich am liebsten geblieben. Es war unheimlich schön und ruhig. Ich bin über den Platz und durch die Straßen geschlendert und habe mich in einem wunderbaren kleinen Park niedergelassen. Dort gab es Sonne, alles hat geblüht und geduftet und dazu haben die Vögel gezwitschert. Ein Träumchen, das viel zu schnell vorbei war. Die Rückfahrt durch die Berge war spektakulär.Read more

Day 6
Sorrento & Capri
May 11, 2018 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
We are staying in a lovely BnB in Sorrento slightly above (more hills) the town but ever so peaceful. It is lovely to wake up in the morning to the sound of the chickens clucking away at the back door, as opposed to waking up at my house to my girls screeching the house down for worms or to get let out. And to top it off they have five cats.
Had a lovely seafood dinner at the marina last night. It is a very popular restaurant so they have chairs lined up in twos so you start standing at the back of the bus and eventually you move forward until you are in the front chairs and win the table lottery. It was a bit like a game of musical chairs and everyone was having a great laugh. The food was worth it.
Headed over to Capri today. Caught the chairlift to Mt Solaro (will do a separate post) and then headed to Ana Capri for a wander around the smaller town. Caught the funicular down to the marina. We were packed in like sardines so couldn't see a thing. Capri was very busy in the towns and really touristy but out of the main towns was lovely.Read more

Wildflowers of Capri
May 11, 2018 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
So today Graham decided he liked taking photos of wildflowers.
Here is a selection. I told him I'm going to enter him in the photo section of the Royal Show along with his chilli jam.
Anyone who is invited to slide night of our holiday have been warned.Read more

Day 6
Mt Solaro, Capri
May 11, 2018 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Whilst in Capri we caught the chairlift up Mt Solaro. There is a photo of me on the chairlift. That is not a smile, it is a look of sheer terror. Graham said the view was beautiful. I'll take his word. The gardens up the hill were a mix of vegetables, lemon trees, wildflowers and weeds all growing happily together and they really are lovely. That's the look we're going for at home.
There's a photo of us at the top with nothing behind us. There would be a beautiful view behind us but we were in the clouds. Weirdest thing ever.
We had read that you can hike back down the mountain to Ana Capri so thought that sounds nice. Found the stairs and headed off. After about a dozen stairs it becomes an incredibly steep track of mud, rocks and pebbles that only a mountain goat, serious hiker or us would attempt to walk down. How we didn't roll an ankle I don't know, and there were some muscle groups used today that have not been used for a very long time. But the view half way down over the bay (still with the odd cloud) was spectacular.Read more
Traveler We loved Capri, apart from them scary bus drivers, we done the chair lift and also the grotto, our tour guide was amazing Bob

Day 7
Sorrento at Night
May 12, 2018 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
The best thing about Sorrento is the evenings. Restaurants, shopping, gelato until late at night. And then a homemade limoncello when we get back to the room.
Went to a fantastic new pasta restaurant last night. Loved the food and also loved that we felt like we were in an episode of Fawlty Towers. Graham ordered a glass of white wine - out came a red. Sent it back - out came a glass of sparkling wine. Third time was a charm. Meals were delivered to the wrong table, meals weren't delivered. It was hilarious. But the food was amazing and free entertainment! And best of all - dessert pasta. Graham had chocolate spaghetti, I had mini canelloni filled with cream and the weeniest little strawberries you have ever seen. I wanted to lick the plate but hadn't had enough to drink. :)Read more

Day 7
Pompeii
May 12, 2018 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Toured Pompeii this morning. Our guide was sorting out free entry for under 18s and Graham put his hand up and said "I'm 16". "Sorry sir" she replied - "no senior discount". I lost it!
Pompeii was incredibly interesting. It was buried under metres of volcanic ash in 79AD and then forgotten about until a farmer above fell down a well and discovered a city underneath. History lesson over.
Really enjoyed seeing the fast food outlet, bar and of course the brothel, with the menu painted above the rooms. It is amazing to see what they were able to build, like the sauna room in the public baths with under floor heating. And not an engineer in sight.Read more

Day 9
Walk to Sorrento
May 14, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
We decided to walk instead of taking the shuttle to go into town. It is a fairly steep grade in the middle portion with a series of switchback steps. By the end, Doug was not feeling like he would want to do them again and certainly not if it was slippery. On the way down we passed by little monuments depicting the 14 stations of the cross. It was surprising that a church had been built half way up and it must have taken some doing to bring all the materials up the incline plus build the walkway. The walkway spilled out quickly onto Corso Italia, the main drag. Compared with anything we had experienced in Rome, this was Italy Disneyed up for the tourists but still containing authentic establishments. Despite the tourist vibe, it was an enjoyable, relaxed place, not overly crowded and felt very safe. It did contrast sharply with the crumbling look of the hospital which was located on the same street. Nancy dropped into a couple of souvenir shops, bought some candies for Julia while Doug strolled the street (refuses to go into any of them due to his clumsiness around fragile objects.

Day 7
Positano
March 25, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Für heute habe ich eine Tour an die Amalfiküste gebucht, weil das ohne Auto sonst nur schwer zu bewerkstelligen ist. Wir waren nur eine kleine Gruppe und das war recht entspannt. Der 1. Stop war Positano. Sehr pittoresk muss ich sagen mit den bunten Häusern am Hang, den Bergen dahinter und den engen Gassen. Zu besichtigen gab es nicht viel, nur die Kirche Santa Maria Assunta, aber hier ist einfach alles hübsch anzusehen und so habe ich mich einfach treiben lassen.Read more
