: (
Had the most wonderful breakfast at Hotel Cervia, not a word of English was spoken, but LOADS of atmosphere, great hospitality, big crusty rolls & bottomless mugs of chocollato for the kids.
Reluctantly had to leave Rome, and rushed off to catch a train to Naples, had a great trip in 2nd class:
Then, not so good.
Had to change to a local train to Garibaldi Station to pick up the Circumvesuviana line to Pompeii/Sorento. This train was packed and slow. We stood up for the hour's journey. Somewhere along the way, Kate had her mobile phone pinched by a pickpocket in Naples - a very undesirable city!
In total, 4 hours of train travelling, and when we arrived in Sorrento, the weather was extremely cold, wet and miserable. But we did find the Aussie flag flying in the town square:
In an attempt to warm up, we had a late lunch at a pseudo-English Pub of Fried Eggs and Chips. Then we had a tasty gelati, but they cost us the equivalent of A$9 each. Ouch!
Roadway down to the coast from Sorrento
Then a quiet finish to the day in a cold room at Pensione Linda in Sorrento. Off to Pompeii tomorrow.
