Rome to Amalfi Coast
Packed up, had breaky and checked out of Hotel Italia then walked to the train station to go to Naples.They say Naples is the place to watch your bags really closely and yes we found someone eyeing them off and trying to get very close as Jim lined up to get our tickets to Sorrento. I gave him a long stare and a smile and he backed off. The train journey was not pleasnt very hot and crowded and the scenery before the coast was forgetable. When we finally arrived at about 3.30pm we rang the hotel and they came to pick us up . the Hotel is high up the cliff and a free shuttle bus takes us up and down to Sorrento. Our room has a view over the bay to Mt Versuvious.I did some handwashing as there is a clotheline on the balcony and Carlie did some painting of the boats.Joel and Jim watched Planet of the Apes in Italian on TV. I must say this is a wonderful place after Rome!! We had tea at the hotel and the food was great and had been recommended by the people staying here(we talked to them in the shuttle bus on the way to the hotel) During tea we heard fireworks going off and it wasnt even dark.. Apparently it is a church holiday today. Then the sun did set ...very beautiful across the ocean.We came back to the room and watched the city night lights turn on across the bay. Then the soccer grand final and our day was complete.
