Italia

A couple of weeks ago I went to Italy for the first time. We flew into Rome, spent a couple of days doing the usual tourist attractions such as the Coliseum, the Forum, Vatican city, catacombs, eating pizza and gelato - you know the usual - from there we took a train to Anzio and picked up Gertrude, our mobile home for the next 10 days.

(Beautiful isn't she!)

So armed with 3 rolls of black and white film and my trusty canon camera we hit the coast and drove South, stopping at; Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento (for a wedding, complete with 10 course appetisers, 5 course sit down meal and cake and dessert to follow), then off to the Amalfi Coast and back up to Rome to drop the van off and head back to England. The vaction was full of pizza, pasta, gelato, sea, sun, mosquito bites, ruins, mad Italian drivers, and I loved every mintue of it. Below are a few of my favourite photos from the trip which I hope capture the various parts of Italy I saw. A vibrant country full of run down towns, ornate rich towns, beautiful ruins, delicious food and a stunning coastline - Italy, I will definitely be back!
