Day 9 - Montepulciano to Vico Equense with a stop at Herculaneum

It is really hard to leave our beautiful terrace view in Montepulciano especially in the morning light ....




On the autostrata, we stop for an amazing good takeout lunch at the Autogrill service centre

Near Napoli, we stop for a visit to Herculaneum - scavi archeologici di Ercolano


















Very moving to see these remains of the citizens huddled together ...

Finally make it to the Amalfi peninsula


And here is our Hotel Torre Barbara

Our room




Our terrace!!!

The shared terrace

The view !!!

Even lemon trees!


A brief (and hair-raising ... details to follow in person) excursion to Sorrento for dinner


Orange trees in Sorrento

Our dinner spot in Sorrento


Returning 'home'

Our twilight view of Vesuvius ....
