Buona Sera

Hi everyone!!!! Oh my gosh I have been having so much fun. I have to make this quick because I only have 15 minutes left at this cute little interet cafe on the Island of Capri.

Where do I begin. The flight went well, but there was no in-flight entertainment which sucked. Other than that the planes were fine. I got to my hotel(in the middle of no where) on Sunday afternoon. I went into Rome later that night to meet up with some of the girls on the tour, but I couldnt find them between the other thousand people on the spanish steps or the old italian men trying to sell you roses and toy planes...weird I know. Then on Monday I met up with a few of the other girls and we spend the day in Rome. We took the bus to the train stataion, then the Metro. I had the best cappuchino ever and it only cost .75Euro, which isnt bad. Then we went to the Coloseum which was awesome. We ate lunch at this really cute sidewalk Cafè. We left Rome around 4pm to be back to meet the other tour mates for a 6:30 meeting. Good thing we left when it did because it started storming...like thunder and lighting and pouring rain. We left on the tour bust Tuesday morning.

We went to Pompeii yesterday and saw ruins and stuff, then ate lunch at an overpriced tourist trap, but oh well. We left pompeii then headed for Sorrento which took about an hour. The roads are so narrow and people drive CRAZY here. We had dinner last night right on the coast, with all the doors open, it was a beautiful night. We has antipasta, prosciutto, gnocchi, meat, potaoes, and dessert, and never ending wine. We had a good time. This morning we hopped on a ferry and headed to beautiful Capri island. Then we took this boat tour around the entire island, which Im still feeling the effects of, due to the rocking of the boat and stuff.

The weather is beautiful, and im having an awesome time. I have met some really cool people who are mostly all from Canada and Austraila. I think im picking up the accents, its funny. Well I better go, only 4 min left at this cafè.
Tomorrow we head up to Florence for 2 nights. That should be fun, but here its been go go go. Ok, back to shopping....Talk to you all soon.

Arriverderci,

Gina
