My bus was at midnight..it was a 6.5 hour bus ride to Naples..the driver was flying and we got there in 5.5 hours! I woke up during the middle of the ride and saw that he was driving extremely fast so I strapped the seat belt on!! Got to the Naples train station at about 5:30am..for me Naples was the type of place that I wanted to leave as soon as I got there. The train station was the first time that i felt a little scared. Random people are sleeping on the ground..smell of alcohol..it was yucky! Anyway..took the first train I could to Pompeii..to see the Roman ruins before going to Sorrento. I had to take the commuter train which is like the muni in SF..I met a couple frim West Virginia at the Naples station..named Scott and Chris!! What a coincidence huh Chris?! haha. Got to Pompeii..it as pretty neat to be able to get an idea of how people lived 2K years ago!! It was a little scary at first because in pompeii...dogs are just running wild..aggressive dogs too!! I would let Scott and Chris sheild me!! They were a lot taller than I was =). Was done with pompeii in about 2 hours and now it was time to head to Sorrento!!
Arrived in Sorrento which is close to the Amalfi Coast aboud 11am...got to my hotel..and was given a room with a spectacular view with a balcony!! I hung out in Sorrento for the remainder of the day. A lot of folks from Britain here! I have a bathroom in my room except..its a little weird. No..no showers in the terrace this time...in the bathroom..there is a bath tub and a shower head on the wall except the shower head is like 1 feet away from the tub..no curtain..so when I first turned on the shower head to see what kind of water pressure I would get..water came splashing everywhere!! opps! I took a shower and washed my hair but sort of flooded the bathroom =0!! No worries danny..it wasnt nearly as bad as what you did in Cancun..I still dont know how you would flood the bathroom if Anson and I managed to keep it relatively dry! haha. So my second day in Sorrento is today...I had originally plan to take this boat cruise but the boat cruise didnt run today so change of plans..I took the bus instead down the coast. I had planned to take the bus all the way down to Amalfi but with all the twist..turns..braking..backing up..my head wasnt feeling all that great so I got off at Positano which is what i had planned to do tomorrow anyway. I spent the entire day in Positano..doing absolutely nothing but layed on the beach!! Positano was..WOW!! It was an incredible sight!! The water was as clear as drinking water from the bottle!! It was very therapeutic just sitting on the pebble rocks with the water hitting you! I was there from 1030 to about 430 and then i took the boat back to Sorrento..no way am I getting back on that bus =).
Italy's Amalfi Coastline! Amazing!!
So tomorrow..I plan to take the boat cruise..hopefully its running..and then I am off to Rome..my last stop before coming home!! In Rome..i will be visiting the Trevi Fountain..making wishes..anyone have wishes theyd like me to make for them?!
