CAPPUCCINO DELIGHT

Just to let you know what goes on in our normal routine at home in Formia....................We visit our favorite cappuccino bar, get car washed and gased up, all in one place. Our friends/owners, Aldo and Alessandro, love to have us come in. We even can get our fresh mozzarella di bufala there.

CROATIA... Continued.......

This was near the end of the trip, and after 2 days of rough weather for the boaters, a couple of 'sickies', you can tell they are a bit 'pooped'!

The boys sailed on to visit more islands and cities on the way to Pula. We took a bus this time and headed north to the city of Opatjia. Our stay there was for 4 nights so we could enjoy the spa and visiting nearby spots. Yes, of course, we each took advantage of being pampered..... massage, facials, swimming, and I had a special foot massage. MamaMia....how nice! The boys sailed in and met us for dinner. Next day we all met in Pula and had planned an extra day to see the famous amphitheater. From there, it was ferry to Venice, boat to airport and (for us) fly back to Naples. The others spent a day in Venice and on back to the U.S.

TRIP TO CROATIA

Leaving for Split on the big catamaran ferry. 6 hours to Croatia from Ancona, Italy.
Harry & Bob and the rest of group meeting us in Apatjia.

It was time again for the yearly trip to Croatia. Last year, the boys did their sailing on a 52 footer in the southern part of Croatia, visiting coves in small islands and larger cities on the bigger islands. This year.... they headed north, starting near Split and ending up at Pula. We ladies, minus Mary this time, spent a couple nights in a small town of Vodice, on the coast. Beach time, and walking the shops in the evening, was fun and shopping was successful.

RETURN TO ITALIA

This Castle on the Island of Ischia is open for touring. We visited our friends, the Isaacs, and had a scenic tour of the whole island with stories of the history.

GETTING BACK TO ROUTINE.. Being home

I guess time went by so quickly I didn't realize it had been so long since I updated the Blog. Within the first 10 days of returning to our little town of Formia, we took the ferry from Pozzuoli to Ischia to see our friends the Isaacs and get a full tour of the island.
