This is part 3 of my trip to Italy. Click here for part 1 and here for part 2. Day 7: Sunday, August 14, 2011 I dislike getting up early, but when getting up early means going from one beautiful part of Italy to another, I'm OK with it. Although I was sad to leave Ravello, it was time for the third leg of our trip. So we got back in the rental car around 6 a.m., and drove back up the autostrade
