Sorrento

Journal Entry: Sun Oct 28, 2007, 12:23 PM
Spent the October half term holidays in Sorrento, Italy. The week before we went, temperatures were in the mid 20s, people were swimming, sunbathing, having fun. We arrived on the Friday evening descending through the clouds (luckily we were on a plane at the time). By Sunday it was windy, rainy, sleet was falling and on Mount Vesuvius snow had fallen and covered the top!

Despite the weather we had a great time, visiting Herculaneum, Pompeii, climbing Vesuvius, going on a bus trip round the Amalfi coast etc. (By the way best way to do all this is via the very reasonable public transport system - 5 euros for a 24hour bus ticket for the Amalfi coast and 3.70 euros to take the train to Pompeii, Herculaneum etc. Good fun too.

Now it's back to work tomorrow, then teaching on a Tuesday night again - got a nice class this term though.

Okay enough waffle from me.

Here's some questions for all of you...

1. What's the worst weather you've ever had on holiday?

2. If you could visit any place on earth that you haven't visited yet where would you go?

3. The Amalfi drive is an amazing cliff top road full of hair pin bends, if you were to drive it, what vehicle would you like to use?

Have a great week, take care. Sorry I've been slow responding - life is so busy at the moment, thank you all for your friendship though.

Mark

A chinese philosopher once had a dream that he was a butterfly. From that day on, he was never quite certain that he was not a butterfly, dreaming that he was a man.

Play for me, Minstrel, my love,
play a harp, her neck is of gold,

I'll become the mirror of my thoughts...

THIS IS A HUG CERTIFICATE ! !

Send one to all your friends who you think deserve a hug (which, hopefully includes the person who sent it to you)!!

You might send it to your enemies as well!
It'll really make them stop and think!!!

If you don't receive this back, nobody likes you, and they wish you'd stop bugging them!

If you receive this back 1 time, open up! Find more friends, enemies, or enemies pretending to be friends

If you receive this back 2 times, you're off to a good start! (Unless you sent it to yourself! That's cheating!)

If you receive this back 3 times, you're a good friend.

If you receive this back 4 times, you're truly loved as a friend!!

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. :bug:
