Three weeks are up!!  This is the final two days of pictures and the rains 
have finally stopped (for the most part)<p>This is our view from the patio 
terrace at the Hotel Esplande. Now that it's not so cloudy you can see the snow 
covered mountains in the background.</p>

<p>Sure wish we had this view a couple of days ago when we first got here. Oh 
well....<br>
<br>
<img src="DSC_1677.jpg"></p>
<p>This is the beach one short block from the hotel. Must be nice in the summer 
time.<br>
<br>
<img src="DSC_1678.jpg"></p>
<p>...this is their off season, so I guess they don't spend too much time 
cleaning it up!!<br>

<p>On the way back to Roccadaspide - just to take some pictures of the 
surrounding landscape since we couldn't really see it before.<br>

<p>Looks like they're getting pretty high-tech out here - a wind farm up on the 
surrounding hills...<br>
<br>
<img src="DSC_1686.jpg"></p>
<p>....and, thanks to Alex's telephoto lens, here's a closer look...<br>
<br>
<img src="DSC_1685.jpg"></p>
<p>Drove around and got another view....</p>
<p>
<img src="DSC_1692.jpg"></p>
<p>More fun with the telephoto lens....a castle on the hill...<br>
<br>

<p>A very small town on the way to Rocca.....<br>
<br>
<img src="DSC_1689.jpg"></p>
<p>Speed limit 50 - 50 kilometers that is!!....that's 30 mph for the rest of us.<br>

<p>Did I mention that this place was gorgeous!!!<br>
<br>
<img src="DSC_1702.jpg"></p>
<p>
<img src="DSC_1703.jpg"></p>
<p>And there's Roccadaspide on the side of the mountain.<br>
<br>
<img src="DSC_1704.jpg"></p>
<p>Pasquale &amp; Gretchen's house and cabinet factory....<br>

<p>Ok, I had to take a picture of this. This sign is warning that there are 8 
dangerous turns coming - use caution.</p>
<p>
<img src="DSC_1713.jpg"></p>
<p>Here's what the turns look like on Google Earth.</p>
<p><img border="0" src="8-turns.jpg" width="950" height="543"></p>
<p>Each turn was marked with a sign numbering them. Look down the road - do you 
see where it makes a U-turn.&nbsp; Yeah, that much!!<br>
<br>

<p>
<img src="DSC_1721.jpg"></p>
<p>
<img src="DSC_1722.jpg"></p>
<p>And then, of course, these turns all get slippery when it snows!!!!&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Duh!!</p>
<p>
<img src="DSC_1716.jpg"></p>
<p>And now it's time to say good bye to Roccadaspide.&nbsp; Until next time. </p>

<p>Here we are back in Naploli. Without the rain you can actually see the 
mountains!!</p>

<p>This is a 13 second exposure of Mt Vesuvius at night. It was pitch black and 
I couldn't really see the mountain. After I took this picture I realized you 
could see it and took a couple of more.</p>
<p>

<p>
<img src="DSC_1743.jpg"></p>
<p>This is the next morning with the sun coming up behind the Volcano.</p>
<p>
<img src="DSC_1744.jpg"></p>
<p>As the sky got brighter, the exposure was shorter and you can't see the city 
lights as well.</p>
