Amalfi Coast

We had a great day! Francesco took us on our last tour which was a day trip to Pompei and to the Amalfi Coast.

The city of Pompei was destroyed back in 79A.D. when a volucanic eruption burried the city. They have been able to dig up the whole city...and it was pretty amazing. Some of the highlights of the town were: houses, spa, town laundry area, brothel, theather, bakery, and amphitheatre.

Next we drove down the Amalfi coast to a small town called Positano, Italy. It was soo beautiful. We took lots of pictures, shopped at the local shops, and then ate lunch at a restaurant right on the beach.

We were so thankful that we got the chance to meet Francesco(and his whole family.) They helped us navigate through parts of Italy we never would have seen, and helped us travel with a lot of luggae and baby supplies! Francesco was great with Carter (even got him some Italy attire)

Tommorow Francesco's dad has offered to bring a driver to our hotel to take us to the Hilton Airport hotel because our flight leaves at 6am sunday morning...which means we should be there by 4:00am!! So tommorow we will be just relaxing and enjoying our last hours in Italy!

Ciao!
