ISLE OF CAPRI
BAY OF NAPLES
ITALY
Ever since I read the book 'I Love Capri' by Belinda Jones I had wanted to visit the Isle of Capri. Capri is a small island in the Campania area of Italy off the spectacular Amalfi coast in the Bay of Naples.
So when we went on holiday to the Bay of Naples, mainly to visit Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius, we decided to take a trip to the island.
From Naples, the ferry takes about 80 minutes and costs about Euro9,00, the hydrofoil takes about 40 minutes and costs Euro16,00 . From Sorrento, the ferry takes about 40 minutes and costs about Euro9,00 , while the hydrofoil takes about 20 minutes and costs about Euro12,00 .
We decided to take the hydrofoil.
The hydrofoil arrived at Marina Grande, which is small, bustling village and very beautiful. There are lots ...

Advantages: thrilling, brill twist at the end Disadvantages: none
A well-off English woman is married to a not so well-off Italian nobleman and has acquired the name and title of Duchess Lola d?Acquaviva, quite impressive, but unfortunately her marriage is in tatters. She lives with her dog in her in-laws? villa on Capri, her husband works and stays mainly in Naples visiting her only occasionally, the persons she sees most often is her gay Italian neighbour and her cleaning lady.

In order to get into the mood of the period, the turn of the last but one century, and to learn more about the man she sends an email to the Englishman Simon Parks ...
Advantages: Good food reasonably priced Disadvantages: Some tables are a little cramped
BELLA ITALIA
Formerly known as Bella Pasta
My first visit to a Bella Italia was a couple of weeks after returning from a holiday at Lake Como. My 10 year old son was very impressed that he could use his newly aquired snatches of Italian as the waitress greeted us in Italian, he spent the meal throwing in what few words and phrases he had picked up in Italy!!
The restaurant we visited was in Lancaster, our home town, and at that time I didn't realise that it was part of a chain.
I must say that we enjoyed our meal and found the prices reasonable, consequently we have returned several times since. It is on all of these visits that I base this review.
RESTAURANT.......Our local Bella Italia is on the corner of Church Street, Lancaster, and is like a little piece of Italy in the midst of Lancashire. It ...
