Well the tour is over and we have had our first real authentic meal. Yeah Monterosso!! What a beautiful location. The area was cloudy so there were no good photo op’s today but we are hiking the trails on Monday.
The day before, we were in, well, I cannot remember. Wait, we were in Pompeii. Very cool place. The entire are was covered by 20 feet of pumice and the town was obliterated (20,000 inhabitants, some got away, some did not). If you are squeamish, don’t look at the pictures.
We are in Cinque Terre for tonight and Monday night and then we are on the train to Positano where we will spend 5 nights recuperating from the tour food. The food on the tour, while quasi-authentic Italian, was not that great and I expect it was Westernized to cater to the common denominator.
Today, I had fresh salted anchovies with tuna and olive pasta for lunch and clam sauce spaghetti of supper. There were 30 clams in the shell in the spaghetti. It was simply stunning!!! Did I mention the wine? Every area has its own wine and the red wine has been very very good. You know what they say, a bottle a day keeps…….. away.
Enjoy the images from Italy
