Day 19

We had a driver pick us up from the hotel at 9:00 this morning and drive us all around the coast and through the mountain. Breakfast in this place is wonderful. Honestly I'm too tired at the moment to do much here, but I'll give you some pictures for now.

BOTH of these are lemons. Not kidding

This is a "flying basket"

It's what you use to transport

the stuff you don't want to lug up

the mountainside.

Pompeii

So I bought a handmade inlaid wooden chess board with (I think) piano finish. It cost me a pretty penny but I couldn't resist- despite the fact that I do not even know how to play. I really thought it would be great to buy something inlaid here from Sorrento, but when I entered the store recommended by our driver I just couldn't see myself loving a jewelry box as much as I would something I might find a bit more useful. I bought it without the pieces, as I was not very fond of the ones in the store. It is actually a box with a small lock on it, in which I can store the pieces, when I find some. Please excuse the terrible lighting and crookedness of the photos. More on the actual trip part of the day coming sooner or later.
