Rome - Day 4

This morning we met our guide with Rome Walks for the Colosseum and Palatine Hill tour, only 3 hours this time! After the tour we wandered back to our hotel and stopped for lunch along the way because we had to meet our driver at the hotel and get our bags for our transfer to Sorrento. We took a nice snooze in the car on the 3 hour ride and got into our hotel, the Bellevue Syrene, in Sorrento at about 5:00 PM.  After we checked in we went for a walk into town and of course got some dinner!

Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum



 Lunch!!  Bread is so fresh and tasty...on the menu today...Ravioli and Lasagne!



We arrived in Sorrento and joined into the complimentary snacks and drinks they serve all day from 10 til 8 PM.  We also took in our view from the hotel which was situated on the top of a cliff right on the coast.





 The wine and the spread.


 ....and took in the sunset...ahh



Some pictures of the hotel and our room, the decor was spectacular.
