Napoli

Ciao! The past 3 nights we have been staying in Naples and taking day trips out of here. Sorry we dont have any pictures to show you, we cant upload any on this computer. I dont think we will be able to upload any photos the rest of our trip because we will mostly be staying in B&B and cheap hotels. But we will see. So our first day in Naples we took a day trip to Pompeii. The excavation site was huge and it was really neat to see all the ruins and the brightly painted frecos that survived. There wasnt as many plastered casts of the bodies as you would think. We only saw about 5, so Melissa was alittle disappointed about that. Yesterday we took a day trip to the Island of Capri with a guy from New Zealand named Anthony. Capri was really beautiful and the water was so blue. We took a hike up the mountain in Capri to Villa Jovis, which is the ruins of Emperor Tiberius' estate. We saw amazing views from the top. Today we took a trip to Sorrento and Positano. We were in search of a beach but when we got to Sorrento we only found a lame whimpy beach. So we took a bus ride to Positano. The bus ride was really cool, we went up this long winding roads all along the coast. The bus dropped us off at the top of the town in Positano and we had to walk all the way down to the bottom, but we finally found a beach! Unfortunately we didnt spend too long at the beach because the clouds started to come in. So we had to walk all the way back to the top, which was really tiring. We then had to wait forever for the bus back to Sorrento because the first bus was too full to get on. So tomorrow we are just going to explore the city of Naples and take it easy until we head up north again to Verona. We have a 6 hour train ride the next day to Verona and then 2 days after we are going to Venice. Hope everything is well.
Love, Melissa and Orry
