June 20 - July 17, 2008: Italy and Copenhagen!
Our first destination was Positano, Italy.
We rented
Villa Maura
for almost two weeks, just 1km east of the center of Positano.
We took day excursions to Amalfi, Capri, Ercolana, Napoli, Pompei, and Ravello, and
we enjoyed some wonderful meals at both restaurants and
(especially) by Elena at Villa Maura.
Our favorite restraurant was
Trattoria da Gemma
in
Amalfi,
where we ate lunch twice.
We also took several long hikes and walks and enjoyed
a few swims in the very salty sea. The most interesting wine discovery was
the local (Campania) wines made from the
Aglianico
grape.
Then it was a three train, 12 hour journey from Positano to
Bassano del Grappa
where we embarked on the 6 day
Backroads
Veneto Biking
trip.
We rode 170 miles over the six days,
stayed in several very nice small hotels, and enjoyed wonderful vistas, food, and wine.
The Backroads trip ended up in
Venice,
where we spent two days exploring the crowded streets,
visiting a few museums, and enjoying several nice meals rich in local seafood.
Corte Sconta
was so good we ate there twice!
Then it was off to Copenhagen for our last four days. We visited several museums,
several castles, got in some nice long walks, took a canal tour by boat, and had one of the best meals
of the trip at
Kong Hans Kælder.
After nearly four weeks away from home, we flew back to sunny Seattle!
