Delightful Positano and Awesome Vatican

A delightful day yesterday - a hair-raising bus ride from Sorrento to the little seaside town of Positano. We were dropped at the top of the cliff above the town and had to walk a kilometre or so down. Stopped to admire a church on the way and met an ex-pat Briton who visited 34 years ago and stayed. On his recommendation had luscious pastries at a little cafe just above the beach. In all, a delightful town made of narrow roads and alleys all leading to its beach. Fortunately a local bus took us back up to meet the Sorrento bus. Today was an exhausting 10-hour, 10-kilometre trek around the Vatican and other highlights of Rome, ending at Rome Termini Station to validate our Eurail passes. Visited the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel - just looked up in awe at what one man could achieve in 900 days of painting. Saint Peter's Basilica also defies description - an enormous structure with magnificent paintings and statues at every turn. Spanish It is impossible to take a photograph that can possibly capture its grandeur. THen off to visit the Castel Saint Engelo, the Piazza Navona, Pantheon, the Forum excavations and the Steps on the way back to our hotel. Tomorrow - Florence.
