Lesvos to Italy

Hey! Im still alive!

(and typing on an Italian keyboard now, so forgive me for the punctuation)

Lesvos was amazing. For those who dont know, Lesvos is a Greek island just off the coast of Turkey. I could literally see Turkey from the local beach! Its really only a stones throw away.. we even tested the theory by trying to hit it with rocks from the beach!

I had a great time there with a group of French Canadian Arts students who are currently studying photography and history on the island itself.. We had a blast!

During the time I was there I picked up a bit of French (nice and bad words) and even some cooking skills.. To thank the girls for letting me stay with them, I picked out a night to cook for them. Check it out.

Not bad eh!?

Just look at those smiles...

hahaha

So After alot of fun in Lesvos, I spent three days getting to where I am now in Sorrento, Italy.

Ive lost count how many buses and ferries it took me to get here, but im here now and im loving it.

If I had the time and the money, I would definitely be looking at staying longer here. The food is good, the scenery is amazing, the girls are all 10/10 and there is history literally everywhere you look. This is truly Gods country.

Last night I met an old German lady at the Pizzeria who has lived here for 6 years who, over a Peroni, offloaded hundreds of places to see and go in Italy. I could hardly fit it all in my little note book. Thanks to her, the trip to Pompei today ran very smoothly.

Speaking of which, even if you have the slightest interest in history, Pompei will blow your mind!! Its a whole city of ruins! What struck me the hardest was how well preserved every building was due to it being surrounded in volcanic matter for hundreds of years.

These ancient Italians were so much like us!! Check this out!

Unfortunately, the beers were warm..

So tomorrow Im off to see the island of Capri. I hear its quite the sight. I even got the lowdown from the German woman on this island. She gave me a map showing me some cool historic places to visit including one of good old Tiberius' holiday villas.

Ps. I got good prices for accomodation in Sorrento! Just before I was about to give in to 30 euro a night accomodation, I managed to screw a camper van guy down to 15 a night for my own little Jayco trailer.. Happy days!!
