Very early start this morning. Proud of the boys for being ready for breakfast at the Windjammer Landing buffet. We met Walter and Doris and her parents at 7:30 and made our way off the ship in plenty of time for our 8 AM pick-up. Off we went in Giovanni's Mercedi Van on a clear, warm morning - water bottles full and much needed on what turned out to be a hot, sunny day. The drive was a bit easier than we remembered from our first Mediterranean cruise 10 years ago. A new tunnel and wider road helped but the crazies on Mopeds that passed on curves that didn't allow them to see oncoming trucks gave me palpitations. We enjoyed getting to know Walter and his family fron FL and enjoyed Giovanni's commentary as we made our way to beautiful Positano with several Photo stops along the way.
We spent an hour in this hilly town with a long walk downhill with many steps ( ouch saiid my knees).
Then off to Sorrento for lunch overlooking the sea. pizza again even better than before. A bit of shopping and on to Pompeii. Our guide Francesca gave us a wonderful tour of the ruins on a hot, sunny afternoon. This is truly a must see place ( with good walking shoes and on a cooler day). We were saved by a Gatorade rest stop! Returned to the ship in time for showers and a bit of a rest before dinner. Then one of the most amazing shoes we have seen on a cruise ship ...Blue Planet. Much like the acrobatic dance shows in Vegas. The boys actually went to the gym after the show.....the old folks went for a wLk and the off to bed... A truly great day!
