It's time to get ready to head State side with a detour in Rome.
We have an early flight back to the States so we left Positano in the morning and spending the night in Rome to catch a flight out the next morning.
We didn't leave straight from Positano as we would would of had to of left very early in the morning and if we had any issues on the road we would of missed our flight. The drive from Positano to Rome was about 3 1/2 hours.
We flew United and we only had 1flight out...wanted to make sure we made it.
Alberico (our driver we had when we arrived) picked us up.
In Sorrento he stopped where we could get this picture of Mt Versus (Naples active volcano).
When we arrived in Italy on our way to Positano you couldn't see it as well as there was some cloud cover.
Still beautiful...cloud cover or not.
The ride was a little boring so we slept a little...we didn't have much sleep so we were still a little tired.
We arrived in Rome safely and stayed at this little place for the night.
It was a cute small hotel which also had beautiful small rooms...glad we only had 1 night to spend here otherwise we would of been a little cramped, especially in the bathroom.
We were tired but it was 3pm and we were in Rome so we decided to head out and walk a little and get a little bite to eat as we planned on going to bed early.
We found a spot away from the crowds with a good view to people watch and a wonderful breeze on a very hot day....love to people watch.
We watched guys selling handbags on the street, which is not legal...below is one of the guys hiding behind a car away from where the police can't see him....I think while we sat and dined he moved 3 different times from police and each time went back to the same spot.
After we dined we decided to go and see the Trevi Fountain again...we had seen it before on our last trip to Rome.
Oh my was it crowded...so many people...hard to get up close...I went to the side so I could get a shot of all these people. 2 years ago when we went to Rome we went twice to the Trevi...once late morning and the other in the evening and never did we experience this crowd.
As well as the picture below of The Spanish Steps.
Another spot that was crowded.
We headed back to our hotel and I got dressed for bed and think I knocked out pretty quickly...before 8pm I believe...I think Lonnie stayed up just a little longer than I did but still to bed early.
Tomorrow morning we have a flight back to the States....we stop in New York City for 4 nights where my friends Stacy and Kelley will join us.
The vacation continues State side....See ya then!
