Last day in Sorrento back to Rome

Today was our last day in Sorrento, one last swoop around the shops and lunch in town before we headed back to Rome via Naples..  The reception ladies at our Hotel were really sad to see Finn go.

We arrive in Sorrento

The day before Liz and Paul's wedding we explored the village and epic views out to Naples and Mt Vesuvius.

Finn's first gelato - mango flavour wasn't a hit or maybe it was too cold...

Hong Kong Phooey and Rome


We set off with a couple of huge flights to get to our destination in Italy, with Finn in tow.

New Plymouth to Auckland he slept most of the way, we made our way to our connecting flight to Hong Kong which was going to be a bit of a test ...

Fast forward 12 hrs, we had made it to Hong Kong, I think we found the flight more difficult than Finn did, managed to get an older Cathay Pacific plane which had some pretty stiff seats.. Finn slept for about 5-6 hrs and was kept busy talking to other passengers and the flight attendants for the rest of the time, so stoked with that.



About to head off

Out and about in central Hong Kong 

A pretty chilled out day in Hong Kong, had a walk round town with Rick, chowed down on some pizza later on with Beck and Paul before we flew out again at mid-night to Rome.

The Boys (old and new)

Another excellent flight with Finn from HK to Rome he must have slept a good 9 hrs on this leg, newer plane pretty comfy. Caught the train into central Rome and had a wander around town for a late lunch, nice temperatures around 16-18 degrees. Had a bit of a team nap when we arrived at our Hotel, Finn had other plans and did his first roll over on the bed! he then proceeded to do it again another 2 times, so mark that one down "first roll from Finn happened in Rome, Italy".

Bullet train to Naples tomorrow morning then out to Sorrento to catch the crew!
