Just a quick update... We have been busy again :-)
We took the ferry from Dubrovnik to Bari, stayed in Bari that night, and continued by train the next day to Naples. That afternoon we saw the archeological museum in Naples.
The next morning we did the big day-trip out to Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii. And then on the third day in Itay, we headed down to the Amalfi Coast, where we have now been for two days.
So thats the bare facts... some impressions: Naples was very interesting but kind of overwhelming. Dirty, crazy, most insane driving I have ever seen, but still fascinating. Great pizza, and although there are tourists there it is not a touristy city. Pompeii and Vesuvius were both very interesting, some amazing sights. The Amalfi coast is just as spectacular as its reputation would suggest. It is very warm here, we have been hiking up in the mountains and it is warmer than July would be in Seattle.
Tomorrow we are taking the long trip south to Sicily. We have also booked our flights from Sicily to London, and think we have arranged to stay for a week at an organic farm "agriturismo" just outside of Catania (but are waiting to hear confirmation back from them). So the last few weeks of our trip are taking shape.
We are looking forward to relaxing in Sicily. And although we are not exactly homesick, we are starting to look forward to being back home. Some more stability, drip coffee and easier shopping, and a lot of other things will be good to come home to.
My 15 minutes are up so thats it for now...
