Sorrento - Pool and Beach day

We took the 910am train from Rome to Naples, arriving at 1020am (I think all the times on the pictures below are off by an hour). We found the baggage check area, checked all of our bags, and took the subway to the Naples National Archaeological Museum.

Secret Museum at the Naples Museum
Warning - sex and nudity
Your mother may not approve!


Warning - there are just two pictures showing family below, all the rest of the pictures are only of 2000 year old relics from Pompei and no people.
The very end of the page shows our hotel room and the view from our hotel room.
The museum was warm when we got there and the air was inside very stuffy.
As we lingered it got warmer by the minute.
Soon everyone else had had enough of the relics, but I needed to see everything.

Finally I had seen everything the museum had to offer...
We took the subway back to the train station, gathered our bags, and took the slow train around the bay to Sorrento
We waited far too long for buses in the heat of the day to take us up to our hotel.

The view from our room in the Hotel Minerva - just as gorgeous as our 2003 visit.

There's a stage set up on the beach and music playing for us at night!
