My hunt for the best gelato in Europe. On the way there should be interesting people, places, and my studies, of course.

Capri and Paestum

Capri was definitely the most beautiful place we went to, but I'll let you be the judge.


Fresh off the bus at the port, getting ready for a LONG, rocky boat ride

Our boat, at least the inside cabin. Our trip to Capri was supposed to take 2 hours, it ended up taking 3 because of the sea conditions. It wasn't smooth, and there were a lot of sick bags being passed around.


Lisa, our instructor, out on the bow of the boat, before they made her come in because of the sea conditions.

Italian Pride.


Coastal city of Postiano, where "Under the Tuscan Sun" was filmed.

The island of Capri!

There is no shortage of Lemon-cello here.


You can't spell Funiculore without F-U-N!

The funiculore station. It is basically a train that is on a steep incline to get people up the cliffs of Capri

Capri isn't a cheap island, it has Prada (pictured here), D&G, and other high end stores.

Look at them lemons!! To compare, the oranges on the right are like our standard American-sized oranges.


The biggest dog any of us had ever seen. He was easily 200lbs.

Gardens and Terraces, so beautiful!

Natural arch on the coast, with that oh-so-blue water flowing under it.

Because of our prolonged boat ride, our visit to Capri was cut short, so we had limited time to go and do something. So Amy, Trevor and I decided the beach was our best bet. This is Amy on the bus to the beach, we were excited, can you tell?

I love Capri.

This is the beach we were on, the "beach" itself is small pebbles, not white sand, so we were up on lounge chairs at the bar looking over this site.

On the boat ride back after our short visit. Kendrae didn't seem too excited. It only took us 2 hours to get back though, instead of 3.

Cliff side homes

I just can't get over how blue the water was


Back in Paestum, for our last night, the chef made these giant pizzas, in this giant pizza oven. They made dinner for us every night, but this one was a festa!

Dessert on our last night, they were so nice to us at this hotel!
