Well once again we are up bright and early and off on the road again. This time we are headed to Pompeii and then after that we are then on our way to Positano. Since we all had to be up and on the bus by 7 am we were all extremely tired and stopped in a shop to get caffeine and what did we find? CRISPY M&m's which they apparently don't sell in the US anymore, after such a long morning already with the crazy packing that tiny little bag of crispy M&m's be...
