Greta vacation spot to get away from the Tourist and hang out wit the Italians
One cell of Munazio Planco's Mausoleum
unravelau Says: I have yet to figure out or be told of the significance of these modern (?) statues. At first I thought of the three wise monkeys but I don't know. They were occupying one of the four cells of Munazio Planco's Mausoleum.
Here he is. Munazio Planco in his Sunday Best?
unravelau Says: The other more up market statues photographed within the mausoleum in 1998 weren't there (that I remember) in 2001 when this latest picture of Planco was taken.A fine figure of a man with an unhappy face.http://www.gaeta.it/comune/index.asp

Bar Bazzanti: My All-Time Favorite Spot in Gaeta
deecat Says: When we were in Gaeta in 1997, I would come downstairs from our apartment that was upstairs and have a cappuccino every morning. I would stand at the bar with all the men and drink the most delicious and biggest cappuccino, I think, in all of Italy!I made lots of friendships...

deecat Says: Check new photographVic's Restaurant and Bar seemed like a little bit of the USA right here in Gaeta because they served "typical American food", and the owner spoke English fluently. The place catered to the military element of the 6th Fleet nearby. Vittorio Bonaventura...
Walking is the Only Way to Really "See" Gaeta
deecat Says: I have not changed my mind about the importance of walking while in Gaeta! In 1997, we walked about 3-4 miles a day for two months. This time, we probably walked about 2-3 miles per day [too many stops for coffee and gelato!] But, boy, did we discover lots of interesting...
deecat Says: I added a new photo of a bus in Gaeta that I saw one evening while we were sitting in the Ancient Center's Park. It was good to see that the bus still runs with precision here in 2006 as it did in 1996.Gaeta has comfortable, convenient, on-time busses. We used them...

La Cruella: La Cruella in Gaeta Italy
DiDiSuntastic Says: The shop is lovely. I bought a beautiful leather handbag for $118 euros two weeks ago. Upon my return I found the the inside stitching is already coming apart. I phoned the store and was told that if I send it back perhaps they could repair it. I went to UPS to send it back...
NonnaLou Says: A superior quality oil, with an good flavour, and fruity and slightly peppery after tasteDerived solely from the Itrana variety of olives, exceptionally low in acidity, in fact far below the1% international standard.
NonnaLou Says: February - “Sabato Grasso” (Fat Saturday) Pre Lent Festival - Carnival in the Square End of May - The “Festa of the Tiella”A cultural celebration of the typical local dish - La Tiella, a cross between a pizza and a calzone. Typical stuffings include diced calamari with...
Borgo, Elena, Porto Salvo: One in the Same
deecat Says: We discovered in 2006 more about the newer section of Gaeta. Its history is not as easy to discover as the Ancient center. Borgo was the name that was given to the area external to the wall of the medieval area. The first area inhabited outside the historical walls dates to...
The beautiful Castle of Gaeta from another angle.
unravelau Says: To photograph the castles from this angle you need to go to the second level from the top of Mount Orlando ............walk around until you come to a sign on a rock referring to the birds (I have a photo of it I will find and put here too)....... you then have to find your...

Riviera d'Ulisse and Parco Nazionale del Circeo
deecat Says: When we left Gaeta to go to the airport in Rome, we took the route along the Riviera d'Ulisse and Parco Nazionale del Circeo, which located in Latina and its province. It took us much longer this way; however, it was well worth it.As much as I love mythology, I was...
seeu Says: I was staying at the Gajeta Residence for an extended work period and I joined a special climbing event that a sport club was giving to try rock climbing. I never had the courage to try this sport in the past, but I was attracted by the fact that no experience was required...
Leisure and pleasure on the water
unravelau Says: It never ceased to amaze me the sizes of sea going craft, the number and type of cruising that could be done on the Gulf of Gaeta. People moored their huge pleasure craft and tinyist canoe or row boat at this bay just around from the peak of the peninsular. It reminded me...
