Italy ยท Campania ยท Road to Sorrento




Italy ยท Sorrento ยท Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria
We finally arrived in Sorrento after I gave Carter bad directions, and we hit the same wrong turn three times. He was pissed – we were supposed to hit the drive along the Almafi Coast at sunet, and it was dark. Our friend Ali, the most aggressive driver in the group, also hit the same wrong turn. He was behind us, and we were both driving Lamborghini Huracanes on a 1.5-lane road. I was driving and Carter said what ever you do do not let Ali pass – this is a guy who takes blind corners all the time and has been lucky – I totally roadblocked him all the way into Sorrento in the rain. Upon arrival, he just shook his head in disapproval at us ๐









Day 3: Sorrento to Rome

Italy ยท Pompei ยท Pompeii Archaeological Park






























Italy ยท Cassino ยท Abbey of Monte Cassino
On the way to Monte Cassino, Carter drove the 812 Superfast Ferrariโa 12-cylinder beast with over 800 HP. Some of the group had been driving together for a couple of years, and Marcus told Carter that Italians only respect red Ferraris. Ours was yellow. Marcus knew Carter wanted to hit his top speed goal of 300 km/h, so on a straight stretch of the Autostrada, Marcus pulled in front of us and cleared about 1 km of road space for Carter. Carter hit the gas; I closed my eyes and prayed, hanging onto the oh shit bar, also knowing not to say anything to distract him, as that would not be good. Carter hit 328 KPH, 204 MPH, a top speed for the group. Needless to say, I was relieved we survived.






































Italy ยท Rome ยท Hotel Eden


























After dinner, we toured Rome in elongated golf carts. Marcus led us, and we nearly crashed into the Colosseum.
