Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast

Pompeii was amasing. I spent five and a half hours walking the streets of Pompeii. I took so many pics my camera died (most of them were so bad I had to delete them from my memory card. I have a policy not to delete anything... they were bad!). The only thing I regret is not doing a guided tour. I bought a guide book but its not the same as having someone talk you through the sights. Those Romans were a pornographic lot.




The Amalfi Coast was very relaxing. I stayed in a village over from Amalfi called Atrani. This is one of the places that I bumped into Tara. The drive from Salerno was very beautiful. I would say it is more scenic than Chapmans Peak Drive in Cape Town. It's certainly more dangerous regarding the crazy Italian drivers. I spent the entire day I had there relaxing on the beach.
