We took a cab from Positano to Sorrento to board our Azamara cruise ship. Met our friends, Myrna and Larry, for breakfast and to plan our day in Sorrento. We chose to take the Circumvesuviana train to Pompeii and they went on to Herculanium. The ruins of Pompeii are much more extensive than we had imagined. Also, impressed by the city planning especially the provisions for pedestrians (I.e. pedestrians only, water flushes of the streets, elevated steps across the streets to avoid wet feet, one way streets). The city of twenty thousand was extremely well planned with a real cosmopolitan mix of rich and middle class. Back on our ship we had a late lunch at the Pool Grill, sandwiches and wine/beer included. Later at 8:30 we had dinner in the Window Restaurant.
