Pompei and Sorrento

From Rome this morning, we drove to Pompei for lunch and a guided tour of the old city that was buried by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79AD. Everyone enjoyed the tour and the detail of the buildings that have
been excavated. We then drove to Sorrento for dinner and our hotel for the night. The drive was rather spectacular as the road was carved along the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea. We had a good dinner that included roast duck and then went for a walk through the town of Sorrento.

So far, no major problems have arisen. We have had a few minor illnesses, but the girls have recovered quickly. Today at dinner, we met up with a group from Chamonade who are on a similar trip. We will be joining them for the visit to Capri tomorrow. And congratulations agan to Vanessa, who has a reached a third major accomplishment on this trip. Yay, Vanessa!

Tomorrow, we are off quite early to go to Capri and then back to Rome for part of the night. Since we have a very early flight home, we will be up quite dark and early. Not sure if we can post tomorrow, but we will keep our eyes open for a place with internet access.

Ciao a Tutti.
