What an absolutely fabulous five days we had driving from Lido di Ostia down to Amalfi and Ravello, back up through Positano and Sorrento… (more items now checked off my Bucket List! http://luxuriousnomad.com/bucket-list/)
Our first stop after having picked up a rental car and leaving Ostia was Terracina, an ancient Roman ‘colonia maritima’.
Atop the impressive hill is the equally impressive Temple of Jupiter Anxur.
From there, the following day we drove down to Amalfi… (and the roads do not need elaboration – and yes, they were as ridiculous and squishy as they appear in the photos!)
Oh, and on the wall in the photo below, it says “MURAL NOT FOUND” – someone’s idea of a joke?
Quick stop for lunch…
Then, after two glorious nights in Amalfi, we headed north to Positano (I LOVE Positano!) and Sorrento…
Mount Vesuvius…
Then, for the last night of our trip, staying in the Grand Hotel Vanvitelli, in San Marco Evangelista.
Oh, and why a photo of the map? Because rather than say “Carlo the third”, it kept saying “Carlo Eye Eye Eye”… LOL! It was very funny – ok, perhaps you needed to be there! LOL!
…and finally back to the Leonardo da Vinci Fiumicino Airport…
