Holiday in Italy

Here are some photos of my holiday in Italy. We went on a 9 day coach tour visiting Rome, Pompeii and Sorrento and we also managed a brief visit to lake Garda on our way back. Rome was beautiful but now that I have visited it I have no urge to go again I found it very expensive and as for the Drivers it is very dangerous crossing the road in Italy.
This is St Peters in the Vatican. we were also lucky to go into the Sistine Chapel which was beautiful but a bit crowed with all the visitors.

This was the view from Sorrento across the bay to Naples and Mount Vesuvius in the background.

A view across the roof tops from Castel Sant'angelo.

Castel sant'angelo we claimed to the top the view across Rome was amazing.

This was at lake Garda.

The view from the Monastery of Montecassino.
This is me in blue I look bored! far from it this was the day we visited Pompeii and we are listening to the guide.
