Not even a week before spring break, I had a conversation with a good friend during which I mentioned we used to take vacations without reservations. We would just "hit the road." Of course, the other mother and I agreed, we would never do that with children. It wouldn't be prudent.
Then we did : ) We had a vague notion where we wanted to go and worked out a rough plan the night before our departure. I did secure our first few nights stay and away we went. We headed south to Sorrento.
The kids did great with the travelling- our fun started long before we arrived at our destination. They loved the adventure!
It's a nice city on the coast- I thought it was very congested with cars and vans full of tourists. We were there during the off-season, and I cannot imagine the droves of people who must visit during peak season.
The wooden motorcycle was a big hit.
There were beautiful views around every corner.
Fun!
I think the only hitch we hit on the way down was an accident on the autostrada. So, My Man, with his trusty GPS detoured us through Naples. My goodness, that was an adventure all it's own. Naples was chaotic- people driving willy-nilly- including us! It was also a very dirty-looking city. There was garbage all over the streets and hanging in bags off fences and lightposts and anywhere else that was possible. I was happy when we got back on the autostrada.
