My earlier post, Rome in Three Days, summarized the architectural and artistic wonders that we experienced in Rome. Our next two days showcase the natural beauty of Italy as we head down the coast to Sorrento and visit the island of Capri.
We departed Rome on Tuesday afternoon, February 12, after spending the morning at the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. We were scheduled for a stop at Pompeii before our evening arrival in Sorrento. But due to an accident and heavier than usual traffic, we missed our scheduled slot for the Pompeii tour. Luckily, our tour guide was able to move our Pompeii tour to another day.
Our late afternoon drive to Sorrento was breathtakingly exquisite, something we might have missed if we had made our scheduled stop in Pompeii. All these pics were snapped from our moving bus.
Here we are in beautiful Sorrento,
with time for a little exploration before and after dinner.

by sparkling deep blue and green waters."
We were not disappointed!
