Amalfi Part 2

Hi Everyone,

We have been having a lovely time here in Amalfi and surrounding areas just chilling out. We have limited internet access here (no Maccas or any unsecured WI-FI sites) so our postings have been less than regular.

During our stay in Italy and up until now, we have been SO GOOD at  catching the right bus or train... We are so relaxed here that we let our guard down. We wanted to catch a bus to Maiori and needed to take the bus that goes to Salerno. Sorrento kinda sounds similar....same letters at the beginning and end of the word ...similar number of letters in the middle bit. Needless to say that after the bus left Amalfi we discovered, to our dismay, that we were headed in the opposite direction an on our way to Positano. After consulting our faded and folded bus timetable I was able to work out, with the assistance of some integral calculus dredged up from 1975, which was the optimal stop to get off at which gave us the minimal time to wa.... OK you get the idea..!!!!! We made it back in time for Spritzeses on the balcony. Today we will try again to reach Maiori.

We return to Rome tomorrow (Saturday) for an overnight stay and then board our plane back to Singapore for a 12 hour flight - our first leg of our journey home. We are tired and look forward to seeing everyone again. It seems so long that we have been away from home and miss our family, pets, friends and dare we say...our work colleagues...!

Year 2/3's, thankyou for keeping in touch and writing on behalf of the class, i am always excited to see and read your comments. Hope Miss Bateman recovers soon, take good care of her, she's writing your reports!!!! i'll pop in to see you all after I return, on a day that is good for you all and for Miss Bateman. Take care, love, Mrs Ball XXX

PS David, i've take sooooooo many photos, at least 6,000 of them! there will be so many for you to sketch!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS EBERHARDT....!!!!!

  1. Tina and Paul I feel so sad that your time has come to an end here in Italy. Although you haven't physically been here with us but we still felt that you were close as we were at least in the same country. We are so happy that your time here was enjoyable but I understand the need to get home and touch base again. Anyway enjoy the rest of your stay and have a good time in Singapore. We'll be in touch. Bye for now, lots of goodbye hugs and kisses, Julie and Giancarlo.

  6. Tina and Paul - safe and speedy travels home. It has been an absolute joy to share this experience with you. I have been enlightened to so many new things. It is good that you will have time to recuperate when you get back - no doubt you will need it. What an amazing time you have had - so many special memories to cherish forever. The feeling of coming home is so wonderful as well ... Everyone will be so thrilled to have you back. Enjoy the trip home. Savour those last few days.
