Salerno!!
We went to the Amalfi Coast! The bus ride was long but we made friends with the drivers which made it a more entertaining ride. The scenery on the 6 hour ride was incredible! Snowy mountains, green valleys, and when I saw the coast, Oh my gosh, beautiful!! After arriving we checked into our bed and breakfast, the owner was a sweet Italian women that didn't speak much English but kept patting my face and saying "bella". She was so sweet to us! In Salerno we just enjoyed the coast, met some fisherman that taught us how to untangle a net, had great pizza (best I've ever tasted...amazing..my taste buds were going crazy!), learned how to make the pizza, went shopping, and swam in the Amalfi Coast. We were looking at wines and I found a bottle just sitting there for 340 Euro.. that's crazy! I had to pick it up and take a picture! It was super nice to get away to a warmer place and see the coast! A vacation from my vacation :)
Pompei!!
Pompei is an incredible historic town historic. We went to mass in the beautiful Basilica and went out to dinner. We stayed in Hotel Diana which was a pretty nice hotel, the breakfast was so good, unlimited coffee!! Sunday we spent the day exploring the ruins of Pompei. So neat to be able to see the town! It was sad to see the refugees that were covered alive by the Volcano. Definitely a place to see if you are ever in Southern Italy! On our way back we had the same bus driver, it was so fun to see him waving to us when he saw us waiting for the bus. It definitely is nice to know you have someone looking out for you when you are traveling. We made it back to Macerata that night with the help of our friend! Thank goodness he was able to pick us up from the town before Macerata because we didn't have a way back after finding out the bus didn't go far enough. God provided!
