1142. Sunshine and Holiday Cheer (Italy 119)
Day 062: 3 hours, 3.0 kms
Next morning I get a late start, spending a good couple hours just chilling in front of the computer at the hostel. It's OK—I’ve been pushing myself pretty hard these last couple of days and deserve a bit of a break. When I do finally get out the door and to the train station, I find that the train that stops in Scafati, where I stopped my hike yesterday ...
1140. A Disaster in the Making (Italy 117)

You mean we've missed this flight?" I asked. "If you don't want to miss this flight," said the attendant, "you need to get on this plane now!" "Not without my husband!" I said. "Where have you taken him?" No one seemed to know where he was or what was going on. It ...
Pompeii, Positano and Sorrento
... many souvenir stalls that were near the entrance to the ruins. Everything was expensive so we kept spending to a minimum.
We reached Sorrento mid-afternoon where we boarded mini buses for a tour of the beautiful Amalfi Coast to the picturesque village of Positano. Positano used to be a sleepy fishing village, it is now vibrant and alive. I loved Positano ...
