Buena Serra-
We have completed our first full day in Italy and already our daughter is harrassing us about not blogging. Our journey here was long but uneventful. We flew out of Detroit at 7:30 p.m. and arrived at our hotel in Sorrento at 5:00 p.m. the next day. Our hotel is very nice with an incredible view of the Gulf of Naples and Mt. Vesuvius. We ended up just staying at our hotel last night and had a wonderful first meal in Italy; pasta for everyone and wonderful wine for Tim and Lynda. We were surprised with a welcoming flute of champagne for each of us. Madi had a small sip as we toasted our arrival and Lynda and Tim finished it for her. The sunset over the ocean was spectacular.
Today we visited Pompeii, Mt. Vesuvius and Herculaneum. It was all fascinating and Madison, in particular, enjoyed exploring every nook and cranny of Pompeii. It was a long, but enjoyable day. Madison has been a delight to travel with just as her sister, Jocelyn was this spring on our trip to Boston.
We went into Sorrento tonight for dinner. We also spent a lot of time shopping in a wonderful area of Sorrento filled with little shops of all sorts. Madison seemed to spend more time taking pictures of dogs than anything else.
Tomorrow we head to the Isle of Capri and hope to include a visit to the Blue Grotto. Friday we head for Rome.
We’ll try to include some pictures.
More later.
Tim and Lynda
