Today, we left Naples (or Napoli). We stopped to visit the largest palace in Europe – Caserta which is now a national museum. It was modelled after Versailles, has more than 1200 rooms, and is way to big for any one family. 

We traveled to Sorrento stopping for a majestic picture along the windy road. The little local guy selling lemon sorbet made a killing off of our bus. Fresh lemons are everywhere here and are so good. 

We faced the first of the Italian heat today at the castle. Good thing our room is air conditioned and a good thing  we packed appropriately. Winter jackets and boots are not needed in 30 degree heat with high humidity. They told us that the temp can get to 45 in August. The beach would need to be a must for those days. 

We are off to Pompeii tomorrow. Hopefully we get a good sleep in our tiny European twin beds tonight. Ciao!
