The first couple of days after leaving Australia were spent in Naples, where we attempted to kick the jet lag. We stayed right on the Bay of Naples, waking up to the most beautiful sunrise hitting the city around the bay with the most brilliant gold, walked around the city a whole lot, finding some good eats (not too hard as Naples locals are serious about their food), and wandering the Museum of Archaeology (so interesting and in such a beautiful building, highly recommend).

Following Naples, we spent a week in Positano, which you can read about here, and whilst in Positano we did a couple of day trips; one to the marvellous Isle of Capri, another down the coast a little further to the town of Amalfi. On our first full day in Positano we also got up bright and early to do the breath taking Walk of the Gods, a 10 km walk winding along the coast line way up high.

Finally, on our way out of the south and up to Rome, we stopped off at the monastery of San Benedicto in Montecassino; a really beautiful spot, and so rich in history, and the perfect half way spot between Rome and Naples for a spot of lunch.

Here are a bunch of photos from all of the above! First up, Naples:
