    Mt. Vesuvius

    July 8, 2016 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    This was an adventure! We started on a bus driving through what looked like Mexico as our driver swerved and honked while singing Italian songs. We arrived outside Mt. Vesuvius and switched to a 4-wheel drive vehicle and enjoyed (?) a turbulent ride hitting every pot hole that existed on a "road" that eventually ended at the drop zone 30 minutes walk from the summit.

    After a hike to the top of the volcano we enjoyed a walk around the rim of the crater. It looked like the top of a mountain was missing and a big crater was in its place. It wasn't the hollywood version of a volcano with steam venting or lava bubbling :) but it was cool to see!

    One of the best parts were the yellow wild flowers that were growing. They were so fragrant and beautiful.    Read more

    Pompeii

    July 8, 2016 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    After our Vesuvius hike, we finished off our day following the Rick Steves' walking tour of Pompeii.

    This was fascinating to walk through but it was so hot that we decided to cut our tour short. The time we spent here was worthwhile and gave us a good sense of how big the city was and how well the Roman's engineered their cities.Read more

    Sorrento

    July 9, 2016 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    After a long day in Pompeii, we spent the next four days in Sorrento having some much needed rest and relaxation!

    We spent our days playing in the pool and our late afternoons/evenings in the town eating and shopping. The view from our hotel was awesome and the town was cute with many small shops down skinny alleys.

    The wildest part, though, was watching the scooters, cars and buses navigate the roads! There seemed to be no rules for scooters but it seemed that cars and buses respected the lack of rules. It was better to watch this than to watch a movie!    Read more

    Last night in Italy

    July 12, 2016 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

    We came to Naples to stay near the airport as we head for one last stop in London before heading home Friday!

    Staying at an American hotel, it was nice to see (and hear) some English speaking television for a change!

    Naples doesn't look like the nicest city although I'm only judging based on the drive from the train to the hotel. I did ask the attendant at the hotel where the closest ATM was and he pointed me to it while telling me to "stay aware" as I use it! I decided to wait to get money until I have everyone with me so that they can help me "be aware"!    Read more

    Stamford Bridge stadium

    July 14, 2016 in England ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    We took a tour of the Chelsea Football Club's stadium including the locker rooms and where the players sit during the games. I think everyone enjoyed the tour and we're excited to watch some Chelsea football when the season kicks off next month.Read more

    London Zoo

    July 14, 2016 in England ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    We strolled through the London Zoo today with Kate as our guide! The exhibits for the animals seemed humane and well thought out. For example, the tigers had a lot of tall grass and room to roam and hide. The wild African dogs were provided real meat to devour off the bone. Overall fun afternoon while we tried to recreate a photo of Grace with a dung beetle that we had taken 11 years ago and create a new one for Kate!Read more
