Driver PierPaulo and Rose on the Amalfi Coast
Driver Aldo and the girls
Greetings to friends and family! Rose and I travelled from Roma to Pompeii which was truley amazing when you see indoor pipes from 79 AD.
Then our wonderful drivers took us to Posiatano for an amazing hotel upgrade with a magnificant view of the Amalfi Coast. AFter a true Italian dinner on the top of the mountain we crashed after way too long with no sleep.
The next day we travelled with our driver down the coast. Thank God for the driver. We could never have driven it ourselves. The views were spectacular and the lemon cello very good.
Then on to Sorrento for an overnight. The next day we took a jet boat to Capri. Of course it had to rain! It was still fun eventhough we felt like wet dogs. A beautiful but pricey place. I'll return when I meet the Billionaire! Another night in Sorrento then off to Rome!
Now we were on our own in Rome with no one to make sure we were where we were sapposed to be.... but managed to find our way around. First afternoon we saw the Colliseum, Roman Forum, Pantheum, tomb of the unknown soldier often called the Wedding cake, spanish steps and Trevi fountain. Then we ate again at a "place famous poeple eat". Tired feet at the end of that day! waist on the pants getting tighter!
The next day we visited the vatican! Awesome! The museum, the sistine chapel, the crypt with the Popes, St Peters Bascilica. We walked 5 miles just around the Vatican that day. Then another experience besides the metro and the Buses in Rome, a rental car! Only got lost once trying to exit Roma for Umbria. Thank God Rose was driving! We found our way north to the villa we are currently in for our cooking class. Christine actually had to come get us after getting sooooo lost. Yesterday went to the Chocolate festival in Perugia too many people! Like the Cherry Festival in Michigan!
