It's good fun setting your alarm for 5-30am when on holiday! It was really 6-30 but my phone refuses to accept local time!
We set off at 8 to get to Herculaneum before the crowds arrived.  On the first Sunday of the month entrance is free so everybody goes but they only allow 800 in at once which meant they closed the gates 15 minutes after we got in! Anyway it was all archaeology type stuff so I won't go into details as it would spoil it for Faye when it's on Time Team.  But there were some spectacular old ruins;

Oh I was going to put photos in here but my picture editor is drunk so they will have to follow later.  (Not drunk, just waiting for the technology to perform.)

We had a free afternoon but it was too hot to do much so we had a siesta (I think that's what they call C&G's new car). That means your dad had two naps.
Dinner was an experience of discovery once more.  One of us had tomato soup and chicken, but the other had Parma ham with melon followed by sea bream.  One of those items had bones in but it wasn't the soup.  Anyway mum was practising the Heimlich manoeuvre just in case, but I came through ok. Was a bit naughty though as I had 3 different puddings!
Then, the highlight of the day, we walked to the Sorrento theatre for a musical of traditional Italian songs and dances. But first, you go onto an outside terrace overlooking the bay and have around 45 minutes to drink as much wine as you want, and it's free. You just grab another glass when yours is empty! I thought mum was going to cop out as you could opt for orange juice, but she manned up and had a (whole) glass of wine.  I had more but it all still tastes rubbishy; it's a shame they had no proper drinks.

The musical was ok but I did get a bit nervous when they came down off the stage into the audience and started getting people up and making them dance with them in the aisles. Luckily we weren't at the end of a row!
