I cruised to different parts of Amalfi, including Positano again and stumbled across this magnificent viewpoint up near Agerola.

0Day 1 Tuscany - Ok. Umm.. wow! There is a line in the movie Forrest Gump where he was describing his run across America and a beautiful sunrise he saw, "I couldn't tell where the Earth stopped and Heaven began."

0Day 6 Paris - Today is my last day here. Very sad to be going as I have become very fond of this place and the people. A petite side note from Tuesdays blog. That kilometre long uniformed horsemen procession that I stumbled across was actually part of a ceremony for the new President of France who was taking office.
