Lots to see and do today as it’s our last day in Rome and we are trying to squeeze every bit of excitement and culture from the day. And oh yes, and power shopping too. Robin and I had an early breakfast and headed off for our 10 minute walk to the Colosseum. Like I […]
Read MoreWe left Praiano on the local Praiano/Positano bus at about 8:00am. Our suitcases were very heavy because of all the preserves, balsamic vinegar, wine, candies, olive oil and ceramic containers. With a suitcase with broken wheels, it was quite a job to climb the 69 stairs to the road with suitcases weighing almost 50 pounds […]
Read MoreLast full day in Praiano before heading to Rome tomorrow. Sunita, Ronin and I walked into the main village to do some shopping. We bought some buns, meat and lemon candies. On our way back, we stopped at Sparkling (restaurant and cafe) for a cafe latte (me), espresso and latte (Sunita)and Ronin had a sweet […]
Read MoreA day trip to the island of Capri Island was how we spent our time. We left Praiano at 8:30 and reached Positano about 8:50am. The streets were very quiet compared to a few days ago. It is so hilly here with many stairs that if you have a hard time navigating stairs, you’d find […]
Read MoreRonin needed some more quiet time this morning before fully waking up so he has his “Stuffy” and his eye patch. What else does one need for an extra snooze?

What was lunch today? Roasted […]
Read MoreArose at about 6:00am to view the sun come up over the mountain. It was so quiet and peaceful, that I got my cup off coffee and soaked in the stillness before the others started to stir. Breakfast after sun up was eggs, sausages, pan fried crusty Italian bread and fruit. Of course, the kids […]
Read MoreWhat a glorious morning to wake up with the Mediterranean right outside my bedroom, kitchen, dining room, living room or terrace. Anywhere in the villa is a perfect view. After the busyness of the last week, this is quite peaceful and relaxing. I love it here. Makes me feel like I want to write a […]
Read MoreHotel President had breakfast included for Sunita and her family. We had to pay for ours but it was a small amount of 5 Euros each for a full breakfast That was a good deal because most hotels of that quality charge 15-20 Euro each. We took the subway to the Roma Termini. Mike took […]

We got our tickets for the Leonardo Express which is a train that goes directly from the airport to the Roma Termini, in the heart of downtown Rome. […]
