In the sun of Italia

June 14, 2009
Instead of staying in Capri, we are staying in the upper part of the Island Anacapri. We are staying a beautiful hotel! The hotel is an older hotel and has been on the island for a long time. Today I had amazing time. My mom and I went out on a private boat and saw the whole island. We cruised around for 2 hours and saw some grotto's ( caves) They were beautiful! The water was see through blue, and you could see coral on the rocks. At one point my mom and I jumped into the sea and swam through the cave. It was an amazing experience! The stay has been very relaxing here and I don't want to leave! The wine is great and the food is amazing! After here I'm heading to Sicily!

This morning my mom and I took the chair lift to view all of the island. What a beautiful site! Today we walked down to a beach near a lighthouse. Lied out on the rocks with the sea water hitting them. Had lunch at a nice lighthouse restaurant near our lying area.

Sicily is a little bit of a disappointment. I thought it would be nicer, but I found it to be a little sketchy. There was not that much beauty compare to everywhere I have been. While staying in Sicily my mom and I decided to rent a car for the 3 days. We drove in madness! People drove fast, out of lanes, and with honking horns! We barley made it out alive! We drove to a park with some pretty waterfalls on our 2nd day, then drove around trying to find a beach with just getting lost. We finally turned the car back around to make it back and on the way pulled over and found a beach. The water was very clear and very cold!
The very last day there we went beach hoping. At one beach we lied out on the pebbles and soaked up the sun. We even had a chinese lady give us a massage on the beach. Afterwards we went out on another private boat and enjoyed listening to Italian music and looking out at the beautiful sea!

From Switzerland to the ocean

June 10, 2009

Well switzerland was amazing. I did a lot of hiking and saw a lot of beauty! I went paragliding off the mountain and flew in the air for 20 mins. Now I'm in the beauty of Greece! The weather is hot and the sunset is beautiful! My mom and I are staying in a beautiful hotel off the cliffs of Santorini. You look out the window and see the sea and little buildings on the edge of the cliff with the sun facing you! Amazing! I feel like I am on my honeymoon or something.
Yesterday my mom and I walked down the 1,000 steps to the bottom of the sea and had a sail on this pirate looking boat. We saw the volcano and hiked it. Then went to the hot springs. I jumped off the boat into the cold water....wasn't very hot. After the swim we ate on the boat and had Greek wine and watched the famous sunset at Oia.

Today was crazy! It was our last day in Santorini, so we rented a car. I got tired of waiting on my mom so I caught the bus and went to the Red Sea. Not much of red, they had red rocks, but that's it. Then finally my mom came to find me, while I hiked for an hour looking for a bus. She finally found me and drove around looking for nice beaches. We drove most of the day being lost. But we did drive pretty much of the whole island and saw some nice beaches. Leaving the Island to Athens, Greece!

Athens, is ummm not that pretty. Nothing like the islands. The history was nice but that's it. I'm only here for today and leave tomorrow back to my 2nd home Italia!!! I'm flying to Naples and take the boat to Capri. I've been to Capri, and can't wait to be there again. Very beautiful island.
