Positano

Took a bus to Positano this morning. Italian engineers must be crazy, as they have built a tiny twisty road on a cliff. although i think the bus drivers must be crazier. the views were fantastic. And Positano is lovely. Quiet, as no cars can come down into town, sunny, but with a nice breeze. and the house builders were just as crazy as the road builders. The houses seem to just cling to the hillside, as if they might choose to jump off at any time. god forbid an earthquake happens.

Went to Pompeii and Herculaneum yesterday. Pompeii is overwhelmingly large. Discovered that wearing sandals is a painful way to walk on uneven ruins. Who knew? After 4 hours or so, ruins all begin to look alike, so with a dead camera battery and hurting ankles, I headed back to Sorrento. Tomorrow I shall actually explore Sorrento before heading back to Rome for one last Italian dinner (and gelato...there must be gelato).

Ciao
