Another early start and we drove into the centre of Naples in the morning rush hour; you'd have to be a psychopath or Italian to drive in that; its total mayhem!
We had a guided tour of a museum which houses all the rescued art treasures from both Herculaneum and Pompei. It was interesting up to a point but if we'd gone there on our own it would have taken us 20 or maybe 30 minutes.  Instead of which it lasted over 2 hours during which time 2 of our elderly party expired!
The coach then took us to Pompei where our guide had arranged lunch in a local restaurant. They have this deal where for 10 euros you get a main course and wine. The portions are massive so what people do is, one of them orders a tuna and buffalo mozzarella salad and the other gets a pizza and you split them both.  That worked  but mum avoided anything with tuna on it so my guess is she ate about 30% of our meal and I had to eat the other 70% (yes i did have to, my grandad was a prisoner of war you know!). You can choose white or red wine but our friends wanted red and I wanted white so me and mum shared a whole bottle of white wine (mum did have some but again I probably had to drink 80% of it (yes I did, my grandad was a prisoner of war).  I think we spent the afternoon wandering round Pompei but I was past caring by then! I never saw Frankie Howerd ( that's probably gone over your head as you're too young).
It was very hot in the sun and I think our party shrunk by another couple.
Back for dinner.  For starters we both had what the English part of the menu said was potato dumplings? But the Italian part said it was gnocchi with (more) buffalo mozzarella. Whatever it was was a bit boring.  Grilled salmon to follow; all this fish must help my swimming.  Drinking something called Aperol spritz now as our guide recommended it; no idea what it is and it tastes a bit strange but I'll drink it all cos my grandad was a prisoner of war; don't know if I've ever told you that.

Education spot from our roving reporter

This is the parking in Pompeii. Down one of the main shopping streets our tour guide explained that the hole in the centre of the picture, is where they would loop through the reins of the donkey while they called in the shop. The hole was at the edge of the pavement.

Takeaway Pompeii style. Here is where they used to buy their pizza from. There was a pizza oven but like most takeaways, I couldn't get close to the counter.

The way to predict the weather in Naples Bay is if there is an early mist, then it will be a balmy day. That's just what we had.
