So today the weather was once again conducive to doing as opposed to doing nothing........We have got the bus and train travel down to a fine art so decided to head to Naples ( at the expense of climbing and looking into a volcanos mouth I must add!!) It was something we had to do what with the saying 'See Naples and die'. apparently this is a reference to the city which is so beautiful, there is nothing to top it and therefore no reason to go on living. You've s...

We awoke to a 7.30 alarm because we had every intention to catch the 8.30 bus then the 9.48 train for a big day out in Naples. However the biggest thunderstorm was happening outside when we woke up. A search on the weather forecast said it would clear by 10 so Pompei was now our destination. This was 15 min train ride from Vico Equense but first we had to catch the local bus!! We purchased our 1€ tickets from the shop and waited at the bus stop. At 9.30 it arri...

After 2 early morning starts we have a well deserved lie in!! Today we decide to chill in our apartment, the weather is not going to be great and a recharge and venture around the town to get supplies is the order of the day. (After all 6 months traveling there is going to be some days when a duvet day is needed!!!) Sarah makes the most delicious coffee and we take a stroll to the village to get resources for a home made Italian meal from the local produce. In ou...

Today a 7am start to get to the beach on the Amalfi coast called Positano, the research said it was one of the beaches that has the sun for the longest period in the day because many loose sun early afternoon due to the high cliffs surrounding them. An hour and 6 mins drive to do 23 km meant the roads are windy and steep so 30km speed limit on most of the journey. To be fair it wasn't too bad because of our early start so less traffic on the mountain roads. Some...

An early start .... 6am, from our Tuscany retreat to our Amalfi coast exploration. A good 6 hour drive, which wasn't really that bad as it was mainly motorway, cooler part of the day and for most of it some good tunes on the radio.... The top summer hit in Italy must be Lean On by Major Lazer because it was played a lot and to be fair a good tune so we have downloaded it as one of our travel songs.... A further list can be supplied by request!!! We arrived at V...
