Time in Sorrento and Isle of Capri

Now we have time to do washing and look around the city of Sorrento.  Had two days here magical place.  We also visited the Isle of Capri out to sea from Sorrento.  Beautiful place.

Travelling to Pompeii and Sorrento

Our next stop was Pompeii a city in ruins. This is where the volcano covered a city of 25,000 residents in ash and rock within minutes.  Quite a lot of the city has been revealed but there is a lot more to see.  This happened in 79AD 17 years after a major earthquake.  It is amazing to see how the romans lived in that time.

Amalfi Coast - Beautiful and very warm - building our tan thats for sure!!!!

Buongiorno Amici from Italia

Hi Everyone

Welcome from Italy.  We are now in Florence for the night.  So far it has been an amazing trip.  We have been so busy with the tour that I have not had the chance to send everyone photos so here we are so far.  We spent two nights in Rome visiting the Vatican Museum - Sistine Chapel and Peter's Basicia.  It was just amazing history and beauty.  Words could not describe it.  We were so glad to be with the tour as we would probably have to wait hours to get in.  Then we were went to see the Colosseum which was stunning.  The weather is so warm we have been having about 30 degrees every day.

WELCOME TO ITALY

Hi

We have just arrived in Rome Italy.  Our hotel is really beautiful with a little balcony.  We have been walking around shopping tonight and had some tea.  It is incredibly hot!!!!  In the morning we will transfer to the tour for 14 days. 

First photo is the runway lining up at Heathrow when we left were delayed for 20 minutes due to traffic.  We reckon we counted  9 planes waiting for takeoff.

A Warm Welcome to the Norfolk Broads from the Fishers

Hi Everyone

We finally caught up with Steph and Mike (my friends from Aussie now living back in UK) after nearly 7 years.  I have know these guys since I was 21 and it was time for them to show us their home town.  What a beautiful place, lots of history and beauty with the broads and greenery.  Mr Fisher should become the local tour guide for future travellers as he is very passionate about his home town as we all can be.

RACING AT MANCHESTER

Hi Everyone

Upon leaving Ireland we travelled on to Manchester for two nights to see the car racing at Bellevue Raceway.  Had a nice couple of days there.  Dinner in the centre of town weather was not the best but Nigel enjoyed the race any way.  Got some good photos.
