Oct 4th

Once again we were docking by 8 a.m.  This time it was the second last stop of our trip.  This island sits west of the toe on the boot and is part of Italy. Mike and I walked a few blocks and inquired about a taxi or small bus to take us on a tour.  In the midst of  negotiations, we met a young couple from Holland who offered to share a car or van with us.  The driver still wouldn't agree to our terms, so the four of us walked away and bought tickets for the local tour train.  Good decision. It returned to the square every hour so we had some time to wait.














Rosemary and Armand spent the day with us, sipping cappuccino, riding the tour train, and shopping for little people clothes.  We were shopping for our grand children, but I think Rosemary was expecting a child as she looked at a lot of little girl outfits.

The view from the top of the hill was incredible.
When the tour train stopped we all got out to take pictures.  Wow




The ticket for the tour included hop on / hop off for the day so we took advantage and went in the other direction as well.  All this riding and picture taking made the men thirsty so we stopped for a sip at the end of the ride.   I opted for yet another cappuccino. Secret is out, now you know where we were.
