6 October - Amalfi Coast, Italy

Our last day here on the Amalfi Coast, and once again the weather is perfect. We've been away for more than seven weeks, and in that time we've really only had one day where a bit of rain hindered our movements. How lucky is that?
We're using today to repack all our luggage, to resistribute some weight to make sure we're OK at the airport tomorrow.
Tomorrow at 07:00 we drive from Praiano to Pompeii to look at the archaeological remains of this ancient city which was destroyed by volcanic eruption from Mt Vesuvius nearly two thousand years ago. Once we are finished there, we have a very leisurely drive to Rome airport to drop of our car and then start the endless process of waiting, checking in, security checks and more waiting. Our flight (Emirates EK96) leaves Rome at 10:00 pm tomorrow night our time. We change planes in Dubai and then at 09:40 Dubai time we depart for Sydney  on Qantas QF2. Finally at 09:00 Aust time we fly from Sydney to Melbourne on QF419 to Melbourne arriving at 10:35. Then it's the Skybus to Southern Cross and the train home to Traralgon. Our holiday will be over - it's hard to believe. We've done so much and enjoyed it all. If I get chance I will post a few photos from Pompeii from the airport tomorrow.

Now we've reached this point we're all looking forward to getting home, and catching up with family.
