Leaving Alviano...after 2 months I can’t say I’m not ready to move onto something new, but the time here, even lacking village excitement, was great...imagine living in a place with only 1 restaurant thats open on Saturday and Sunday night only, where the streets roll up about 9pm and there is no one who speaks your language...now imagine no television or dvd’s or theater’s...we have been forced to remember how to relax and enjoy the simple things in life (which was one of the points to this holiday). I may be ready for something new but I will always cherish these 2 months of the laid back easy life. Using Alviano for a base was perfect...we have seen, visited and explored over 25 cities, towns and villages...hit Rome 6 times, Venice for 3 days and Florence. We’ve seen the most famous Ruins in the world, the largest Christian churches ever built, and some of the most renowned art work in human history. Yes, the little village of Alviano might have been boring but it was the portal to awesome sites.
Tomorrow morning we drive down the coast to Positano, with only 1 week left in Italy we hopefully have time to explore Pompei, Capri and the Amalfi Coast. We are staying at a B and B situated on the cliffs above the Mediterranean and our room has a private terrace overlooking the water. It is about a 4 hour drive so we are getting an early start.
So goodbye to Alviano and today and hello to what lies ahead.
