Pompeii, Florence, Venice

On our way into Sorrento we stopped in Pompeii to check out what remains after Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD covering an ancient civilization in over 20 meters of ash and pumice until it was uncovered in 1592. It is well worth the stop if you are ever in Southern Italy.

After we left our ocean view camping in Sorrento we traveled north to Florence. We thought we were going to miss our views of the water but the campsite in Florence is situated on a hill next to Piazzale Michelangelo with tremendous views of the city. We also discovered that the duomo isn’t the only thing to look at in the city as Florence is home to the most attractive females we found in Italy.

We toured Florence for one full day before jetting off to our next destination, Venice. On the way we stopped by Maranello and Modena to check out the Ferrari and Lamborghini museums. Lamborghini turned out to be closed but the Ferrari museum didn’t disappoint.

After the detour we arrived in Venice in time to catch a bus into the city, wander around, and get lost before the sun disappeared. We also spent the following morning in the city walking over bridges and watching the gondolas cruise by before departing for our more natural habitat of Switzerland.
