15 October 2000, Sunday

Leaving Geneva yesterday, after France, arrived in Italy, across the span method of up to ten kilometres of Alpine tunnel, for their great work.

The first station of Genova. Wanted to live here, but the Genova boat show held this week, within a radius of several kilometers of the hotel all lived. We had to drive along a dark rainy night, at 50 km away and find an sixingjiudian Rapallo, for the night. Morning, flings, hotel is located in the Gulf. The outside is still a rainy morning, in the distance. Despite the rain, still scenery. If not in a hurry to get somewhere, stayed a few days here, view view the scenery, is also a great pleasure.

Breakfast, to continue their way.

Rain in a day in the evening arrival in Rome: the famous historic city, the ancient Roman and modern capital of Italy.

Unfortunately not, the rainfall was we acknowledge road is extremely difficult. Coupled with the Roman traffic extremely confusing, so we had to carefully. According to the map, not what the wrong way, successfully locate our hotel Alimendi.

The hotel is located in Vatican City, Rome City Centre to be quiet.

Settle the luggage, relax by the hotel owner, went to a seafood-restaurant. The small size of the restaurant, the decoration of simplicity, simplicity, belonging to the middle class. We go to all almost when packed, it's a good thing there are two seats. After eating, see has been queued for the location of the visible business. However, restaurant meals and is really worth. This is what we eat in Europe the most delicious Western, or most on our taste of Western food.

Visit Vatican yesterday.

On the one hand for its beautiful frescoes, Zenith art and rich collections and marvel at the Church on the peak of luxury and the Pope. The Vatican's essence and climax of the vertex is the Sistine Zenith art, Michelangelo poor gas 1930 and painstaking masterpiece.

Today threw several ornamental Rome famous delights: the ruins of the old city of ancient Rome, ancient luomadoushouchang, Pantheon and Navona square.

I think read history and Hollywood movies filmed in ancient Rome, it's hard to imagine that grandiose, well trained and disciplined Roman army is set off from here, conquered almost the whole Europe and the Middle East. And today's Rome is disorder, disorganized. Old glory no longer reproduce, shoulders too heavy a burden of history?

One-week trip to Italy has finally come to an end.

Despite the reluctance, but only so long holidays.

Wednesday, October 18, from Rome to Naples.

This is a once glorious history of the city, and today's relative poverty into sharp contrast. Been there before, has been a lot of people warned there is a high crime rate. We therefore make full preparations, only bring enough for dinner and petty cash, the rest of the various documents, bank cards and credit cards all locks into the hotel's safety deposit box, enter the den of thieves.

Napoli confusion that we change the scheme, only stay for 1 drove to suliantuo, one is located in the beautiful city of the Gulf of Naples.

As early as it was before going abroad, through a "return to the well known here, suliantuo" and has been the ambition. Known as a "see". Today one can see, she is really the essence of heaven. In the face of the Eastern Mediterranean blue sea, proximity to the Apennines, the stem. Autumn colours makes her beautiful.

In the corner, we fully Campenelle appreciate the magic of nature.

Scene sea sunset is by far the most magnificent view, the most colorful sunset. After the sun sets, the flashes of the horizon like light blue, light brigade, pale yellow, Orange, yellow, light powder, Orange, Orange, red, constitute a no words to describe the world of color.

Friday, October 20, to Capri Island (Capri), a small island attractions.

This is the last stop of the holiday. Unfortunately too many visitors influx, Capri has no time-Chih described the kind of peace and quiet. But in any case, suliantuo and Capri's two days still is the most wonderful Italy trip, the most fascinating and nostalgia of old days. I hope someday I can "return suliantuo", also can find today.
