Campania for LL

I promised more on Italy. After all you were the first I took there (not including my late wife).

I recall your words 'Sorrento was the best holiday ever'. Lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then.

 2013

The above are scenes and views of Sorrento of course - you were always one for proof, particularly after we parted, as you had/have a disbelief problem. Unfortunately for you everything was true and genuine, just as this is. Most of the above were taken this year but there are a couple of older ones there as well.

Those below show us sailing round the Amalfi Coast to Positano and Amalfi itself., meeting up with some friends on their boats (see below) and generally enjoying life.

 Ashore in Amalfi (he's popped up again)

 Prosecco is not limited to just you LL, and it's even better in the Italian sun - Salute!

Still ashore and still relaxing.

  Maybe FM could do with some of this. The author is still firing on all cylinders.

  I'll leave you to figure out who owns these boats....

 Older, but still fit, this guy you know pops up all over doesn't he. 

I recall a similar photo being taken many moons ago by......you.

So there's some of your disbelief blown away and here's some more, regarding my literary skills and connections, from a buddy at the New York Times. See DM below.

Ciao...and as they say in Italy ....Avere gli occhi foderati di prosciutto - meaning, roughly, don't go around with your eyes shut. You missed so much by being so blinkered in your outlook. Now look where you are.

I see you're interested in seafarer issues. Question: may I send you a link shortly for a NY Times story on the topic once we publish?

Jun 22

Sure, I'd find that very interesting

Great. Thanks for replying. I will send you the stories as we publish them.

This is the second part of The Outlaw Ocean series: http://urbina.io/1Or4pUx  Thanks for taking a look, Peter

I haven't, in the past, made much play of our home and stays in Campania (Sorrento and it's surrounds) and our home here.

We sold up in Skyros a few years back and so the boat is kept mainly in the Western Med. We have been enjoying it here, and the always beautiful weather at this time of the year, as you will see from the gallery below.

We have guests coming and going and at present are enjoying BB's and his family's company. Always amused that his first name is your last. We will be here a little longer and then back to the States via Paris or London - our jet of course.

Must be nearly 10 years since we were last together and what a lot has happened and passed in those 10 years. You will have read from my Mutuality Blog of my exploits after I learned of your infidelities - well one in fact I have two others coming, so to speak.

I could 'chatter' on like this for ages. Pointing out the error of your ways, your poor decision making and your even poorer choice of men....but I won't

So here's the gallery followed by some 'proof' as you always seemed to need that...memories eh...funny things

  The Square where we sat - Piazza Tasso

 Piazza San Francesco

Here's something you must remember. 

Not changed that much and one of our waiters is still there. I have more of course and may post them in due course including yesterday on the water near Amalfi and Positano.

That will do for now it's nearly 6.00 pm here and the shower and pre dinner drinks call.

Ciao ;-)
