Day 13 October 23- Naples, Italy: Photos 63 to 82

Our last day. And as it turns out, I think this was our best day. I had hired a driver for the day, Mariano Fiorentino. We were going to tour Pompeii, then drive to Sorrento and the Amalfi coast to Positano. I met people on CruiseCritic to share this trip with also, Sandy and her husband. The day before I had asked them if they were interested in a guide for Pompeii, and they said sure, so I emailed Mariano and asked him to set up a guide for us.

We met at Cova Café again and were some of the first ones off the ship. I could not find what time I had told Mariano we would meet him, so I thought it best if we got an early start. We headed out of the port to where the taxis were and one of the drivers there told us we had walked past where the hired drivers were. So we went back and saw a line of vans, cars and buses. No one was approaching us, so we approached a group of drivers and found Mariano there. He was a very friendly, very “Italian” man. He was wonderful.
