May 6 & 7, 2010

Back to Rome for two nights. Lots more people in Roma than any of our other stops. But oh, so much to see!! It is quite the romantic city, with fountains and statues everywhere. We walked so much , I thought my feet would fall off.
The Spanish Steps and the Trevi fountain and the Colosseum were my favorites.
We must say good-bye to to a beautiful country we love to visit!

In Paestum, there is one of the best collection of Greek temples anywhere and built before Christ. Our cute hotel had bikes for us ride to the ruins. It was also near the Mediterranean Sea.

After an amazing time in Sorrento, we travel by bus along Italy's Amulfi coast. Breathtaking views as we drove along a very narrow road with cliffs down to the sea on one side and mountains on the other. Lemon groves terraced along the sides of mountains all along the way as we weaved our way through the small villages to our destination city Paestum.

May 1 & 2, 2010 Naples, Sorrento and Pompeii

After two nights in Siena, we hopped on a train for Naples. We wanted to go the the National Archaeological Museum there to see the artifacts from Pompeii. Of course the floor which held most of Pompeii's art was closed for repairs. So after one night and 4 knock off purses later, we took another short train trip to spend two nights in beautiful Sorrento. From there, we went to Pompeii, which was a treasure trove of ancient ruins. Over 35 acres, an entire city to explore. You could really imagine how the people from 2000 years ago lived.
