Italy - Salerno
June 28 - July 2 Week 4.

This week’s time after school was spent trying to make sure everything was organised for the next chapter in our adventure. We also wandered around Salerno ensuring we had seen as much as we could of this pretty little city. Salerno is known for its medical history as it has the first university of medicine in the world. Unfortunately every time we went to visit this university and the associated museum of medical and surgical instruments they were closed (despite the sign saying they should be open).
Our final day at school was filled with mixed emotions, sadness to be leaving some new found friends and to not be continuing to learn a beautiful language, but also excitement and happiness to be entering the next segment of our journey.
Our last night with Signora Clara was great. We shared lots of laughs and a few Italian songs (this was a favourite past time between Jack and Clara). We were also treated to yet another amazing meal of home made pasta (this time gnocchi), Caprese salad, baked capsicum, and to finish.... the best Tiramisu that either of us had ever tasted!!!!
