Praiano

Having restored our equilibrium and some of our dignity, we set out today to explore Praiano, organise a bus to Sorrento for our full day tour of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and maybe have a swim.  We took the orange bus to the town centre (not a central area as we would imagine, but a group of shops along the narrow and steep climb that is Praiano.  The tourist information office was very helpful, but we have a very short time between arriving and our tour departing tomorrow.  As this is peak season, what are the odds of arriving on time?  We are leaving this dilemma in the hands of the gods and live in hope that we make the connection in time.
As it was midday by the time we were free to do as we pleased, we took a local bus to Positano, which is an adventure in itself.  Our driver was wonderful, talking to everyone and in between that praying with his hands together as he yelled to everyone on the bus to squeeze up so that more passengers could get on.  Sardines come to mind when I think of how we were packed in!  We loved it.  You just have to let go of the fact that you are hot and sweaty and realise that everyone else is too.  

Positano is everything the brochure says it is.  We loved it anyway.  After a quick dip in the invigorating Mediterranean and some window shopping we caught the bus back home.

The Colosseum, the Forum and the Palatine Hill

It was another relatively early start for us as we had to be at the Colosseum before 9am for our 3.5 hour tour.  The weather is hot so we were glad it was a morning tour.  Our guide was an archeologist and we were very grateful when she took us to an entry point away from the teeming crowds of people lining up to get a ticket.  It was an excellent tour and helped to dispel a few myths (Christians were not fed to lions at the Colosseum) and clarify what is known and what is still conjecture.  It is a massive structure, even today and enough of its original features exist for you to imagine how it would have looked and operated.  The platform to indicate the floor of the arena is really helpful and the example of wooden pulleys and ramps to bring gladiators and animals up from below was great. The Forum was also interesting we were able to see where Julius Caesar was cremated and the various basilicas that still remain.  On the Palatine Hill, we saw where ...

Last Day in Roma

Image
Our last day in Rome was relatively leisurely.  We strolled to the Trevi Fountain which was lovely, but very crowded.  We then walked up Michaelangelo's steps behind the gigantic Wedding Cake Memorial.  We were once again near the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus, which meant we had a long walk back to our hotel.  After a rest we walked the Corso for some retail therapy and then found a local place for a drink and dinner.  We have enjoyed our time in Italy but look forward to seeing everyone at home.

Roma

Image
Today we left the Amalfi Coast but not before a lovely meal at the restaurant just next to our hotel.   Our travel to Roma Termini was uneventful, apart from the local express train from Sorrento to Naples.   The platform was packed with people going to visit Pompeii, but when the train arrived, only the first and last carriage doors opened.   It was a mad scramble to get on the train and then, with our luggage, file back through the train for some space!   We have come to expect the unexpected. Rome is much the same as it ever was, but we notice that drivers seem to now obey lights and pedestrian crossings. Tomorrow we will start exploring in earnest. Ciao
