Italy Day 12



'Goodbye Sun!!'


Spent this morning packing our bags and squeezing in a bit of sun and swimming at the pool before getting a cab to the station. At the station we picked up a bus, taking an hour and a half to Napoli Aeroport. We got the bus because previously on our way from the airport we had taken the Circumvesiviana Train and hated it.




The train was long, hot and sweaty. Mind you it was cheap. It had cost us €3 to get from the Airport to the Train Station and then another €3 to get from Napoli Central Station to Sorrento. This time we were all a lot happier to get the bus which took a bit longer than the train and cost a little more (€10) but was SO much more pleasurable! IT was cooler than the train, with air-conditioning and it had the most spectacular views from the cliff tops. We could see across the bay of Naples towards Sorrento and Mt. Vesuvius looked mighty from the bottom.




I'd recommend taking the bus to anyone traveling from Naples Airport to Sorrento. Try to get a seat on the right hand side of the bus for the best views and have your camera handy!




Our flight took us right over the volcano crater of Mt. Vesuvius and stopped in Milan for 3 hours before continuing on to London.
