The Almafi Coast and on to Pompeii

What a great day. After a pick up at 6:45 we travelled with 3 other couples south to Naples and the Almafi Coast, Positano and then on to Pompeii. If you've been there you know how beautiful the area is. Picturesque village after village. We realise we need to come back and spend more time just exploring this lovely part of Italy.
Narrow winding roads, Villas owned by movie stars, wonderful ceramics and all wrapped up in picture post card-perfect scenery.

Positano

After an amazing lunch at Positano, we headed for Pompeii. Again an amazing site and in two hours, we just skimmed the surface. Our guide was full of amazing facts and like his father and grandfather before him, loves telling people about the city of Pompeii. To see evidence of their plumbing and sanitary systems shows how advanced the Romans were. 
It rained slightly while we were there, but the sun came out right at the end.
