Rome, Lazio, Italy, Sunday, October 14, 2012 Our breakfast this morning is pretty basic. Some croissants, toast, and cereal. This is supposed to be the nicest day of the three we are here in Rome so we are going to walk along part of the Appian Way. We are told it may rain later so […]

Rome, Lazio, Italy, Saturday, October 13, 2012 We can’t believe that we are about to visit our last city. And it is one that we have been to before. Carol threw a coin into the Trevi Fountain almost two years ago and it worked, because we are returning to Rome today. In order to make […]

Sorrento, Campania, Italy, Friday, October 12, 2012 After three busy days, we have planned to just relax and hang around Sorrento. Today was supposed to be a rainy day and when we get up, it has not disappointed. We have had three wonderful days exploring the surrounding area, so weather timing is good. A leisurely […]

Naples, Campania, Italy, Thursday, October 11, 2012 I thought I would put a quick disclaimer here. I mention in this entry, a secret room in a museum that had ancient X-rated stuff. I included a few photos as I found them a little humorous, but also thought they showed how much we humans have not […]

Pompei, Campania, Italy, Wednesday, October 10, 2012 We are going to Pompei today. Another fairly quick breakfast followed by a walk to the train station to catch the 0852 train. The ride is about 35 minutes and even this early, we get the accordion players on the train. When we arrive at the station it […]

Anacapri, Campania, Italy, Tuesday, October 9, 2012 We get up and the weather looks decent so we decide to go to Capri as planned. Breakfast is included and consists of croissants, an apple turnover type pastry, Cappucino, and juice. We eat fairly quickly and head out hoping to make the 0845 boat. We buy our […]

Sorrento, Campania, Italy, Monday, October 8, 2012 Today we leave Amalfi for Sorrento. We have decided to take a boat to Sorrento rather than the bus. It’s a little more money but we like the different perspective we will get and is probably a smoother ride! There is only one boat in the morning and […]

Amalfi, Campania, Italy, Sunday, October 7, 2012 I think we are just starting to savor the joy of being here. We think about going to another hillside town by bus but decide to have another slow wander about day instead. We walk along main street to the main Piazza by the Duomo. We wanted to […]

Amalfi, Campania, Italy, Saturday, October 6, 2012 Today starts out as a lazy day. The Hotel Amalfi room is on the small side but nice and it was quiet last night. We get a good nights sleep and take our time getting ready, repacking everything for our move to the apartment. When we get downstairs, […]

Amalfi, Campania, Italy, Friday, October 5, 2012 Today we have a long travel day as we leave the Tuscany and Umbria area for the Amalfi coast. We start out by walking to the bus stop I scouted out which is close to the BNB. The funicular to the train station does not open until 0720 […]
