Day 2 in Rome I had booked the Hop on Hop off Bus
The bus does about an hour and half round trip my advice is
to do the trip once and then decide where you want to get off and on for the
day. You can spend all day looking at the churches and all the buildings and
the structure. I spent about ¾ hour on one church looking amazed at the
structure there is over 350 churches in Rome alone so don’t bother trying to
get around them all.
I went back to the Spanish steps as my photo’s did not turn
out the day before must remember to where those glasses to see what you have
taken. Then onto the Trevi fountain to take another Photo. The day before were
like a few hundred people in the area the next day were like thousands check
out the video.
I would say that you could just walk to the attraction in Rome
by yourself but its well worth getting a tour.
Lots of Photos taken during the day all will be up in a Rome
album after the trip.
Day 3 off to Naples Pompeii and the Sorrento
The day was a rainy day as we departed, as we reached our
first break for breakfast the day was starting to clear up. Then onto Naples
well that was only a short stop by law for the driver and short 20 walk around
Naples not even time to buy water. Then off to Pompeii, a short visit in the
cameo factory, a guy was sitting there carving by hand that had been doing it
for over 70 years the product was lovely but very dear.
Now off to lunch with the tour 3 courses, all we can say
were just hoping that our dinner experience would be better.
Then spent 2 hours going through the Pompeii excavations
well worth the look the only thing I would say is to try to book a tour that is
only going to speak 1 language sometimes they seem to spend more time on the
one that you don’t understand.
Last stop for the day off to Sorrento we were wondering what
our hotel would be like and the dinner, as the standard was not the best during
the day. We had a local pick us up and stopped for as to take a photo on the
way great spot. We enquired with the drive about the hotel and he said that it
had not been long build with was music to our ears, we arrive to be treated
like kings and queens, our rooms are beautiful. Went down to dinner to get
watered on hand and foot three waiters at once we ordered off the menu and were
also treated to a banquet of salads and desserts well worth the stay at
whatever price.
I met some lovely people on the tour 2 kiwis and a few
Australians they made my day (thanks Peter & Mandy friends for life).
