This year I enjoyed the luxury of two different trips to Italy. The first, back in April, was a northern route from Venice to Florence to Rome. The second was a longer sojourn through southern Italy. After a long day, night, and day of traveling, this trip started in Messina, Sicily, followed by a stay on the small Mediterranean island of Lipari. From Lipari I ventured to the islands of Salina and Stromboli, which houses the most active volcano in the western hemisphere.
Then it was on to Sorrento, with Mount Vesuvius looming overhead. Sorrento is the most beautiful place I think I have ever been. I fell in love with the town and could easily stay forever. From Sorrento, I made a trip to the island of Capri.
The trip culminated in Rome. I had several days to explore the ancient ruins and take in the modern culture of the city.
I have posted photos from both trips below. And I'm not done. I have a few more Florence photos I'd like to put up here, a ton more of Sorrento and Capri, and a multitude of pictures from Rome.
