Our last day in Italy was the most relaxing, by far. It was definitely a nice way to end my two week stay, and I’m sure my Aunt and Cousin enjoyed themselves. Negombo is a thermal park on the island of Ischia. It gives the illusion of being secluded – it’s surrounded on three sides
After our exhausting 2-day Rome excursion, we enjoyed a much needed “day of rest” at my dad’s. On Sunday, our second to last day in Italy, my aunt, cousin, and I spent several hours enjoying a mini cruise to Positano. We met our tour bus at the Naval base and then boarded our boat at
So. We went to Rome on Thursday. We woke up at 5:30 AM, drove to the NATO base, and walked to the metro. All under the presumption that we had plentyyyy of time to catch the metro downtown where we’d switch trains to the Eurostar for Rome. We stood at the Metro station for close
On their first day in Italy, we decided to take Aunt Donna and Madison to Pompeii. We got up early and left the house on time. It’s about a 45 minute drive from where my dad lives to Pompeii. Once we got there, a woman stopped us on the street and started speaking to us
Day three started off early and much more successfully than day 2. We got up, had breakfast, and then immediately set out to visit an ancient graveyard set along the old entrance to the city. We saw this Greek Orthodox chuch on the way, And this one once we’d gotten there, We also saw this
Day 2 started off fairly early. Or at least I thought it was early. Apparently I’m a novice traveler. I forgot to set my phone an hour ahead to Greek time. Apparently the iPhone doesn’t do that automatically when you’re abroad. Who knew? I didn’t. So I woke up at 6:10 to meet my dad
Today we visited Herculaneum and hiked to the top of Mt. Vesuvius with Madison and Aunt Donna. Will be posting about that soon! —- On Friday, my Dad and I headed to the airport fairly early to catch a flight to Athens. It’s only about 1.5 hour in the air. Once in Athens, we made
So, even during the two years that I lived in Italy, plus the 5 years I’ve been coming back to visit, I never actually made it onto the island of Capri. I’ve visited Ischia many times and they are very similar places, but this go around I told my Dad I really wanted to see
This post is going to be picture heavy. The weekend was a success, y’all. And by success, I mean “bank account emptying, beer coma inducing, day full of riotous laughter.” We drove up to Helen on Friday as soon as Mike got off work. Naturally, the day full of glorious sunshine turned to torrential rain
This morning on the way to work I found my thoughts drifting away from the day ahead. Mike and I were planning on heading up to my mom’s tonight after work, but because of the long drive and short weekend, we decided not to. The yard needs to be mowed one last time, and I
