Pompei and the Amafli Coast
This morning we left the busy city of Rome and began our drive to the Amafli coast. It was a quiet drive as the ladies caught up on their sleep. Monday morning traffic in the city and on the highway made the journey a little longer than expected. On the way we stopped for a tour of Pompei. This is one of the largest and best preserved archealogical site. Pompei is a city dating back over 2,000 years. Unfortunately it was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The city looks as though it has been frozen in time. The homes and shops are in tact, the grand avenues and chariot roadways are expansive. Colorful frescoes are still visible on the walls and great history has been uncovered here. The city was preserved by thick layers of ash. It was an incredible site to see. The ladies enjoyed their tour and were delighted with the information supplied by our tour guide Dario, who was both entertaining and knowledgeable.
After our tour we continued our drive to the town of Sorrento. The Hotel Mediterrano is our home for the next 5 nights. It's a charming seaside hotel with a fabulous pool area and stunning views of the sea of Napoli. Everyone is delighted with their rooms and are looking forward to the relaxed pace of the Amalfi coast.
