Love this area of Italy.......Went six years ago and I promised the missus we'd go back when the opportunity next arose....sooooooo.........My eldest son was booked on a school trip for a week with his school , so the Mother -In Law offered to babt sit our 7 year old daughter if we fancied a week away !!.....My missus , after considering this for 1.5 seconds ......got straight on the keyboard and booked a week in Sorrento
Then chilling out with a Peroni , a happy Monday and a Volcano .....
The missus on the Vino .....
Took a look out to sea.....Amerigo Vespucci ??.......
Managed a trip to Ischia .....Beautiful Island , easily accessed by Hydra foil .....Check out the giant mushroom in the sea!!!.....
Closer......
Closer......
A few random pics of Ischia .....
I almost expected a hobbit to walk out of here.....
Relaxing in the natural thermo spa high up in Ischia.....If you had hair ,,,,you had to wear onr of those unfortunate shower caps !!........Not many advantages to having very little hair....this is one of them though .......
Views from the spa.....
Bloke in 38 deg c spa pool wearing an unfortunate shower cap......
Then .......of all the blokes to bump in to .......Brad Trent !!!!.....Brad dint want me to take a pic of him in one of those unfortunate shower caps ....but I did get a few wrist shots of him putting his favourite watch through its paces
Another shower cap shot .......and me with factor 500 hair on my shoulders.....
Not sure I wanna risk hopping in this taxi .....
Castle on a rock !!!.......
Then back to Sorrento for a feast of Bistecca and Brunello.......
Spotted some Panerais for sale in one of the shop windows....I'm sure they were more or less the same models they had 6 years ago
Not so sure about the Gold gilted displays ....not exactly military inspired
Time for some meat and cheese.......
All the cool people eat at this place!!....He's gott 99 problems but a pizza aint one !!!
Then another meal in the evening ......
The missus was on the squid.....
I opted for the ravioli in limon sauce ......Lovely !!.....
Followed by a Chateaubriand that was carved by a bloke who looked suspiciously like Alan Carr......
Both a little merry on the Limoncello......First in ...last out , as usual
Next day ......Amalfi .......
Some randoms......
Amalfi town......Is that a cute Italian girl on the top middle balcony ??......
Er...........no........
So I was taking some pics.......
And this car rolls up .....
Here comes the bride......
Thats a lot of steps to climb in 5" heels (said my missus)......
Halfway there......
Made it ......
Street shots......
On to Ravello.........
Typical Amalfi road.....
Sounds goooood .......
Main Square in Ravello.....
Nick Muscles ?......
Some great views here.....
The missus trying here best to recreate the Gina Lollobrigida pose ......
And to end the post ........just some random shots of Simmy ....just because
