We just got back on the ship. We visited Pompeii, Sorrento and Capri. Very long hot day. Pompeii was incredible as was Sorrento. Great lunch in Sorrento. Capri was ok – of course Frances was able to find jewelry to buy.
More later!

Pompeii was an incedible place to visit. We spent a couple of hours there and only scratched the surface. Mount Vesuvius looms over the city and seeing the remnants of the city are awe inspiring. I have many good pictures to post as soon as I found good quality wireless to use.
Sorrento was a neat town. We walked and shopped after our great lunch at Restaurant Tasso. They had fresh tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella cheese that was incredible. During our shopping excursion Lauren bought some cute Italian shoes that she had to wear to dinner last night. They were a hit at the surrounding tables.
Disney has done the menus fairly well. They try and include a regional selection along with the regular menu. They also have a fairly extensive wine list based on the Mediterranean. Be sure to ask for the Sommelier List as it has some of the better wines on it.
we have that excursion booked and am considering canceling and doing Pompeii and the Amalphi coast. Do you think Capri is a waste of time? Thanks for your input, I’m enjoying all the blogs on your trip.

I would not miss Pompeii. Sorrento was nice and we would have enjoyed more time there. Capri was just OK. It was crowded and hot. It was beautiful, but I think skipping it would have been ok for us too.
That’s my girl, Frances!! Keep up the good work with the jewelry….it’ll make that long flight nightmare worth it. C.H.A.R.G.E. !!!!!!!!!!
