...and off to Sorrento, Italy. These pictures just don't give this area of Italy any justice. It was phenomenal. Known as the Amalfi Coast, this area is loved for its towering cliffs over the Mediterranean Sea. There are very few beaches to sun bathe on. There were docks so to speak built that are primarily used for sun bathing.

Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast!!!!
We arrived in Naples, Italy bright and early Tuesday morning. We boarded the train and headed straight to Pompeii. Pompeii was a city that in 79 A.D., was completley buried by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius. It wasn't discovered until nearly 1500 years later.
This is the forum, the center of the city. In the background you can see Mount Vesuvius.
This is just a sampling of some of the murals on the walls that have survived.
This gives you an idea of how some of the housing looked. This is actually part of the ampitheatre.
