sorry for the long break - been too busy!

So we went to the South of Italy for 6 days, headed to Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast.

*Sorrento was great, very beautiful seaside town, headed to the island of Capri, bit of an adventure, got stuck on the island as it was too rough to get the ferry back, so had to catch a bigger ferry to Naples and then ferry from there to Sorrento. What should have taken 40 minutes took about 2 hours! Also because of the rough weather we couldn't use the chairlift or get into the blue grotto which was disappointing. Went to the best Gelati shop - so good even the Pope has been there!

*Almalfi coast weather was much much better.  Went on a walk called on the "Path of the Gods" (http://www.amalficoast.com/primopiano/resort/amalfi-coast-1/the-path-of-the-gods-amalfi-coast-1824.aspx) which had the most amazing views. This is the sort of view - http://images03.localidautore.it/dbimg/primopiano/the-path-of-the-gods-praiano-417.jpg
We also went to the Smeraldo Grotto (Green Grotto) - http://www.amalfitouristoffice.it/images/percorsi/blu/grotta-dello-smeraldo.jpg

We then headed back to Rome for a day where we went and saw some catacombes, where St Peter was imprisoned and a Salvador Dali exhibition which was pretty cool.

Have spent the last few days in Florence and we have been flat out every day.  We've been to galleries and churches galore, seen Michaelangelo's tomb, done lots of shopping, went and visited Sienna. Did a cooking class last night, made fresh ravioli, panna cotta and also an entree which I can't remember what it was called.

Hope everyone is well.
