Here we are at a gelato shop in Sorrento, Italy. If you have never had Italian Gelato, it’s a must-try. Coming in LOTS of different flavors, gelato is different than ice cream.

We are picked up in this DINKY town of Savignon-Irena-Greci by a private driver from our destination town of Faeto, Italy. We arrived here by combination of train and bus... and were left off in a location with no transport onward!

The bus to nowhere. We got dropped off, literally in the middle of nowhere in Italy when our bus driver said: "This is the last stop. Good luck." Walking up a hill to the center of this semi-deserted town we were met by policemen who wanted to know what we were doing there. (!!) We told them we were going to Faeto, and he said "Why? There is no reason to go there." That's when I pulled out my phone and showed them photos of my Grandmother and Grandfather who are from that town. Check out this place!

We are riding in a bus along winding mountain roads in Southern Italy on the way to a tiny village named Faeto.

We just arrived in Naples, Italy, and after coming from Gaeta, a seaside town, our small apartment here was a bit of a shock. Naples was playing in the soccer championship – which is a HUGE deal in the city – and finding other rooms was near impossible. Turns out that our room was clean, in a good location, had a view of Mt. Vesuvius and Elvira, our host, was fabulous.
