That ferry rocked and rolled last night and our little stateroom felt even warmer than the outgoing trip but we made it all the way back to Naples this morning without feeling any worse than a little queasy.
We splurged on a taxi ride at the ferry dock - not so bad when split between two couples - and enjoyed a magnificent drive out of Naples, past Pompeii, past Sorrento, and eventually around to the Amalfi Coast and Positano. We're staying in the Best Western Hotel Positea for the next three nights. We're getting a relative deal because it's low season. In high season here, if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it.
What a town. What views! Riding the bus from our hotel down a series of switchbacks reminded us of nothing less than Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in Disneyland. Pictures will definitely follow.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
