Sorry that I have not been able to blog... know I remember why I did not finish my bloggin about Alaska.  Too many things to do and not enough time :)  But this is good, right?  Not to mention how much longer it takes to type on an Italian key board. LOL.

Just to catch you up to date... On Saturday, we toured the Vatican.  On Sunday we got on the bus to Sorento.  Before reaching Sorento, we stopped and toured oampei... OMG, it was amazing. Then to the hotel.

The hotel is on a cliff and from our balcony we can see the Bay of Naples and Mt MaSubius (sorry about the spelling, it is the valcano that destroyed Pompei).  Thanks to my mom, I was able to join a side trip to the Isle of Capri with Evelyn, another nine people from our group, Ans and Andre (our guide and bus driver).  Ans and Andre organized the tour for us and it was wonderful.  They took us through the highlights:  1) a boat ride to the island from Sorento, 2) a tram ride to the top of the mountain; 3) a walk through the shops at the top of the mountain; 4) and to the other side of the island; 5) and the best surprise... a taxi ride from the top to the bottom of the mountain to catch our boat ride back to Sorrento.

Our hotel is fantastic... the views and the atmosphere is unbelievable!

Today, we drove down the Almafi coast.  The road is so narrow that we had to change to a smaller bus.  Even with the smaller bus, we could only go one way (we drove back to Sorento on the highway).  I sat on the right side of the bus so I could look straight down the cliffs.  We got back to the hotel around 3:30.

Evelyn and I have been relaxing at the hotel ever since.  While Evelyn stay at the top of the terrace to get to know her new camera, I walked down the steps on the cliff down to the Bay of Naples... thank goodness for the elevator back UP!!

Tonight, after dinner at the hotel, we are headed to another spot to see entertainment... I have no idea what, but Ans and Andre are taking the group.

Tomorrow, we head back north to Tuscany.

More adventure to come!!!
