Day # 8

 We began the day by driving up the Amalfi Coast toward Amalfi, a beautiful western coast facing town that is famous for its lemon and other citrus exports. The road there was insanely narrow, our bus scarcely squeezing around corners and other cars. In Amalfi, we hiked up the hillside toward the vast lemon farms where we had the Amalfi Lemon Experience. Owning almost 10% of the land in Amalfi, the family operated farms grow huge acres of lemon trees fed by the complex stone architecture and various pollination from bee hives (We had to be super quiet as not to scare them!).

There we tried lemonade and lemon cake made from the lemons which were super yummy! Many of the lemons were completely edible, rind and all, with a slightly less sour taste than traditional

We made it! A few scares, but we figured it all out and have landed in Rome! When we got out of our fun time at the airport. We were able to see the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon. We were all exhausted, we headed back to our hotel and crashed for the night.

Day #3

Today we had an early morning, leaving our first hotel in Rome. We visited the beautiful ornate church St. Peter’s Basilica and the iconic Vatican Museum. We saw the Sistine Chapel and then hopped on the bus for a few hours of down time as we traveled to Naples to board an overnight ferry to Sicily. Serena, Raven, Finley, Reese

Day 2

  Morning light in Rome spilled across the stone, As narrow streets and fountains slowly woke. Camera in hand, we wandered out alone, Following stories every corner spoke. Through quiet alleys on our photo tour, Past scooters humming softly through the square, Each frame we took tried to capture something more— The golden light, the laughter in the air. Then towering high where ancient echoes roam, We stood before the mighty Colosseum , Its weathered walls like pages carved in stone, A place where centuries still seem to bloom. The sun climbed high, our footsteps growing slow, So we found a table on a lively street. Plates arrived with food that seemed to glow— Warm bread, rich pasta, something simple, sweet. As evening painted rooftops red and gold, Our cameras full, our feet a little sore, We carried home the memories we’d hold— A perfect day in Rome, and so much more. ✨📷🍝 -Axel, David, Thomas Pictures are coming- access has been rough
