Bill & Chris's

Italian Adventure

We had a great trip to Italy in May. The trip centered around a walking tour of the Amalfi Coast. The photo at right shows us along the "Path of the Gods," hiking above Positano.

Between hiking along the Amalfi Coast and visiting ancient ruins, there wasn't much time for railfanning. However, we rode a few trains. For rail photos from Italy, click here.

Another view of the dramatic scenery along the Amalfi Coast. We look down on the little village of Atrani, which is squeezed into a small valley along the coast. We ended the day's hike a few hours later on the beach below.

We arrived two days before the tour started, which allowed us time to visit the ruins of Herculaneum and Pompeii, which were both destroyed by eruption of Vesuvius in 79AD. The ampitheater pictured at right gives an idea of the scale of the ruins at Pompeii.

After the walking tour ended, we spent a few days in Rome. At left, Chris stands in front of the Trevi fountain. A few minutes later, we made the obligatory coin tosses which guarantee our return to Rome.
