Glad to hear Naples got cleaned up a bit. I went with a friend and she was robbed 150 feet from the train station -- and we are both seasoned travelers. She could have been badly hurt. The area was squalid and nasty.
Same happened to me and I'd put my money deep inside my inner (Levi jacket) pocket. It wasn't as though I hadn't thought about it....some old guy reached in as I boarded a bus (in front of the train stn.) to take me to the port to take me to Ischia.
I realise it was the old guy cos he sort of danced around me as I boarded the bus.
Took all my credit cards. I had to get my father to wire me money. But then I got to Ischia and it was heaven.
Though there was Daily Mail publicity last week about a major rip off in Ischia, which is a little off-putting:-
"Coffee with a catch! Italian restaurant adds €20 'service charge' for four hot drinks and a pastry... almost TREBLING the overall bill"

[R144] Långholmen has ex-prison as a hotel, a bit far away from the city but near nudist beach. Red Boat Mälaren is more like a motel. There is an excellent connection from Arlanda airport to the central and around the station are plenty of good hotels and you can walk to Djurgården. Don't forget, next to Vasa Museum is every gay man's wet dream, the ABBA museum. I'd also advice to make a ferry trip to Waxholm and Drottningholmen. Although August in the holiday month in many European countries, in north July is the one, when it is usually very hot and sunny.

Are you Swedish? I thought they could speak good English in general.
—North July is rather good, actually

[R148] Yes people in the Nordic countries speak fluent English. I am from one of those countries.

Batavia lettuce?

[R150] - a pretty crisp lettuce. I don't know if they have 'em Stateside. It's a close cousin to the Iceberg, but the lettuce is really crisp and sweet.

What cities and mountain/lake areas in Switzerland do you recommend? I've traveled through the country by train and it's always so beautiful. I also spent a night in Zurich, but it was kinda boring.

[R153] - if you want something touristy and rather unusual, try the Jungfraujoch. It's a railway that goes up inside a mountain (the Jungfrau) to an observatory and viewing area at the summit. Pretty weird, but fun!

[R154], Summer. What are your favorite mountain/lake areas, and what are your favorite cities?

Locarno! If you're a film lover (the auteur variety), go to the festival in August (5-15 approximately). Scenic views over Lago Maggiore, and you can always enjoy a film or two. Faye Dunaway attended a couple years ago, Jacqueline Bisset did too.

Locarno looks gorgeous. It looks like it would be a good destination after visiting Lake Como in Italy.

What are you interests?? Then I can recommend. Sports? High culture? Nitelife? Natural beauty? Please don't say "all of them" or you're just being lazy.

Absolutely, [R161]. We spent a week there a few years ago and it still ranks as my favourite vacation ever. Stockholm ranks second, and I'm eager to go again.
—Locarno - Piazza Grande
