Day 10 Sicily and Southern Italy - Pompeii and Rome After another delicious breakfast at our elegant hotel in Sorrento we left the Amalfi Coast and took off for Rome!
On our way, we stopped to explore the fascinating ruins of Pompeii (UNESCO).
Our local guide gave us a detailed tour of this ancient Roman town, offering a glimpse into life over 2,000 years ago at the base of Mount Vesuvius.
It was like stepping into a time machine and experiencing the 1st century in what once was a bustling and important port town, although its fate was sealed with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 7.9 A.D. Today, Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage site, one of the most visited sites in Italy and one of the most visited archaeological sites in all the world.
After a leisurely lunch we traveled the countryside and arrived in Rome. We wrapped up our journey enjoying a delightful farewell dinner with operatic entertainment at a charming local restaurant. Tomorrow we leave for the airport for our flight home.

We visited the beautiful village of Positano with its charming pastel-colored houses and inviting pebbly beaches, taking time to explore the posh boutiques and simply relax by the beach.

After, we visited local farm where we were treated to a Margarita Pizza making demonstration with the fresh mozzarella that was produced there. Everyone enjoyed the homemade fire ovened pizza as well as the ricotta cheese cake and limoncello for dessert. After lunch we headed back to Sorrento for the rest of afternoon and evening of leisure.
