Additional photoes from the capri visit


Capri




My first visit to the island of Capri and a return for Maria after 42 years, A mixed feeling of impressions, A lot of american tourists and a lot of expensive shopping. Very interesting to visit the Grotto Azzurro and impressing to see Villa San Michele. A very hot day left us worn out by the pool and taying at the hotel just o have a salad

Italy july 2009




A beautiful summer week in Italy. Flew to Rome via Copenhagen on a 2 hour flight!?. Got somewhat fooled by the car rental agenzia, some italian company, found our Fiat Punto a nice and comfortable car for its size. Drove to a very strange place called Castell Volturno, with a completely abandoned seaside resort, just left to fall apart. Went to Pompei to see the burried town that was dug out. Amazing high standard of living for being 2000 years old. Went to Sorrento and a very nice Best western hotel called La Perle where we met up with the newly wedded couple from home.
We have spent some nice time in the sun and on nice restaurants. Today we took the boat to Positano, a very nice litle town on the south side of the peninsula. Also a very warm day and we spent the afternoon sleping by the pool.
