Tuesday - Fine The waves must have been huge last night! For this big ship to be rocking and banging all night. I'm not so sure it's the best mode if transport after all. We Didn't get much sleep at all last night because of the surging. Up, down side to side all night! We had our breakfast on the boat, no coffee though. We will have to make a coffee shop stop high priority once off the boat. We had the morning in Palermo before we needed to catch a bus to T...

Monday - Storms We woke up early this morning because of an awesome thunder storm, we eventually got up and went to have breakfast. We were in no rush at all today, we had a ship to catch back in Naples this evening, and now because of the storms there wasn't a lot that we could do today anyway. After breakfast we got packed up and checked out of our room, but hung around at the B&B for awhile using the wifi and waiting for a clear patch of sky. We made...

Sunday - Overcast Today was going to be a busy day indeed. We were going to go to Mt. Vesuvius and the ruins of Herculaneum. We had a good breakfast this morning.

It arrived a bit late, an hour after we thought it would, but the driver must be running on southern Italian time. Never mind ...

After some lunch and a couple coffees we headed over to the site, and boy did we get lucky. Today was a free d...

Friday : Overcast Sad to say that we are checking out of the caravan today, we had a great time here, good walking, food and wine. Can't forget the scenery as well! The Cinque Terre coast is very similar to the Amalfi coast, except I think that the position of the pretty towns is what makes it very special. Not that Amalfi doesn't have pretty town too. Today thankfully, we got dropped off pretty close to the station, but guess what. We bloody just missed the tr...
