Monday 30th May
We started the day with a visit to the Vatican & Sistine Chapel - words can not describe what you are looking at tried with photo’s today 268 in total just on Deb’s Camera, lots of sorting to be done, it is hard to see what you are taking you just need to shoot on the run most of the time. On the road again this time heading for Pompeii. These ruins date back to 79 AD an amazing historical sight. Our guide Carolyn had a quote today that I liked "Never before has so much tragedy brought so much pleasure to future generations". How true a statement that is? Traveled along the road to Sorrento the coast line is just amazing, limestone cliffs with a steep drop. Once again caught up in traffic jam caused by an accident. Arrived at Hotel at 7.45pm and dinner at 8.30pm at the Hotel. Time for a quick walk around the shops near the hotel got some water 6 bottles for 1.5 Euro cheapest we have seen. Walked along the street after dinner to the main square to soak up some of the atmosphere of Sorrento. A little cool out a pleasent change after the heat of the day. Back to room by 11pm. Some washing then bed. Another busy day tomorrow. Debbie seems to have picked up the Bus lurgy that is doing the rounds. Cough and runny nose, pharmacy across the road so have go some medicine hope that helps me sleep tonight. It's now 11.45 pm need to sign off and head for shower and bed. Hope to be able to post all of these soon. Internet access is limited.
Love
Debbie & Peter
