Good-bye Italy!
We had a fun final day but it was a sort of an unsettling “travel day” where we had to pack up first thing in the morning and leave our long-time comfortable Airbnb to travel across town to the new posh hotel for all of one night lol Now it’s morning, we’re gonna make one… Continue reading

Last Day in Napoli
Problems of being a European male: you wake up, first you have to decide which Adidas track pants to wear! And by “which” I mean which particular shade of black amongst the dozens you own. Then you have to choose the right Adidas shirt! Red would be bold, but black is safer. And it will… Continue reading

And More Napoli 😀
Today is our last day in the great/sucky AirBnB lol it’s great for what it is, but the location really sucks unless you want to spend all your time inside and never go out. The next morning, we were all packed and ready, we’d arranged for a driver to pick us up at ten and… Continue reading

More Days in Napoli
So we obviously read up on stuff, especially about Sicilia, and it turns out they eat horses there. When you hear that, it’s something you don’t forget easily!! So whenever I see signs like above, featuring “Mare” in large letters, my first thought is “Horse restaurant!!” But obviously—albeit not to me—”Mare” in Italian means “of… Continue reading

Typical Days in Napoli
Our Airbnb is great, big space, patios, INSANE views, but dang is it inconvenient! If we want to walk for food, there are like three meh options, otherwise it’s taxis. Napoli has over a million people but only two metro lines: I am convinced the taxi union has successfully fought expanding the metro for many… Continue reading

Capri back to Napoli
We spent the morning happily wandering down side streets at random, looking for an eventual lunch spot. Finally found one but it was on a surprisingly busy street, especially considering the street was all of five feet across. We sat at our narrow outside table and watched the insane scooters & motorcycles & little trucks… Continue reading

Day in Capri!
(Notes from Oct 27 2024) Are we getting sick? Been feeling off, hungry at the wrong times, something just seems slightly wrong… finally, at the front desk, we figured it out: the Europeans just had their time change and so everything is an hour off!! The man at the front desk is very concerned for… Continue reading

First Night on Capri
Remember the famous song (Sinatra sings it, as do many others) about the Isle of Capri? I’ve been working on alternate lyrics: thus far, my new verse ends with “Diarrhea on the Isle of Capri” but I can’t figure out the lines leading up to it!! Maybe “Then I dared her to pull on my… Continue reading

Random Weekend Trip
We woke up and walked down the street to the small cafe for a bit of breakfast–we finally figured out to order two coffees (both for me) to save time. It’s Saturday morning and we have a weekend free—why not head to the Isle of Capri! (Notice how I made that rhyme?) Finding the right… Continue reading

Dinnertime in Napoli
After our harrowing 1984 experience with the airport bureaucrats, we are quite hungry for dinner! But first, we have to somehow make it to dinner… We were too wiped to want to deal with the trek all the way back up the hill, so we wimped out and got a cab… sixty seconds later I… Continue reading
