Salerno was the last stop on our Mediterranean cruise and the gateway to the Amalfi coast. We spent the morning touring Amalfi by water in a motorboat.

We then drove to Pompeii for the afternoon. It truly is a city that is frozen in time. Mount Vesuvius in the background was a constant reminder of the tragedy of 79 AD.

Salerno is at 40.70N, 14.72E. The weather was overcast and 64 degrees.
We leave the ship tomorrow and start our train journey with a stop in Venice. Sorry for the short post but we need to pack.
Cheers,
