Pompeii, Florence, Venice

On our way into Sorrento we stopped in Pompeii to check out what remains after Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD covering an ancient civilization in over 20 meters of ash and pumice until it was uncovered in 1592. It is well worth the stop if you are ever in Southern Italy.

The Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi coast was the next step in our whirlwind Italia tour.  Just south of Naples, the Amalfi coast consists of small crowed streets that run along the Mediterranean Sea.  Mountains that fall into the sea give home to sun-bleached pastel colored houses.  We found an amazing campground, right on the coast, with 5 star hotel views.

We spent three days on the Amalfi coast, eating amazing gelato and pizza, staring at the sea, and soaking up the serenity.

A few days after my last post I was beginning to recover from my back injury and the weather forecast in Magic Wood was grim so the only logical thing to do was head off on a sight-seeing trip to Italy. We packed up camp and pointed our car south and didn’t stop until we hit Rome! Eight hours and 100 euros in gas and tolls later, we found ourselves standing in front of the Vatican at sunset.
