O' Sole Mio

One word sums up Italy, WOW!!!!!!!!!!   We were welcomed  to the amazing Island of Ischia by the lovely Colella Family.  They have been residing on the Island for over 200 years.  The family beach residence is opposite the beautiful San Francesco Bay.  Waking up to the blue Mediterranean waters were amazing!  We had a private balcony and rooftop terrace which we enjoyed day and night!  We dined at their restaurant, La Casereccia and enjoyed Mama Tina's home cooked meals made from the finest ingredients grown in their garden.  First tasty treat was the most amazing caprese salad!!!!

Cruise to the Island in Forio from Napoli~We were very careful not to offend anyone and blend as best as possible as Naples is the crime capital of Italy.

Day trip to San Angelo~

After three beautiful days in Ischia we took a cruise to Sorrento.  The ancient events taking place in the Sorrentine Peninsula were a big surprise.  One being the hooded men processions during the night between Thursday and Good Friday.  They march along the streets of the town centre recalling the mystery of the passion of Christ.

 

Pathway to our hotel in Sorrento

Next stop~ Positano

These pictures from Italy will never do this gorgeous country any justice.  Prettiest little fishing village on the way to Amalfi.

Amalfi Cathedral~ 19th Century Christian structure in the Piazza del Duomo.  Leading from the basilica are steps into the Crypt of St. Andrew.  62 steps lead to the doors.

Colorful Sorrento beach bathhouse!

Random model photoshoot~ photographers asked to use Kevin's hat for optimum shadowing!  He obliged!

Back to Sorrento and hotel hopped to some of the most beautiful I've ever seen~

After almost two weeks in Italy we definitely did not even put a dent in our travels. 

 WE SHALL RETURN!

My new best Italian friends, Maria and Mario~

Preggo Italy.  We will never forget you.
