Our ride to the Isles of Capri fantastic…this is not the isles yet…
We arrived and hired a taxi “bring us to the best view restaurant”….
A great day as we slowly coasted home….

The climb to a quiet Mount Vesuvius last erupted in 1944
The climb took approx. 45 minutes and the views to die for…sorry to put it that way.
Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius..with a climb to the top!
Pompeii destroyed in 79AD by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius (in background) covered the city with 30 feet of ash. They say somewhere between 3,000-5,000 died within 48 hours. Some forever intombed in the ash. Notice the band, the sign of a slave.
The streets had elevated crosswalks in the event of flooded streets and interior plumbing.
…and mosaics and paintings abound…
As we leave the streets of Pompeii we head for the climb of Mount Vesuvius

Now we will bring you inside St. Peter’s..can you tell me who made the last picture of this marble statue of Mary holding Jesus
St. Peter’s is so unbelieveable it would make you head spin. Then you climb to the top of the dome up these narrow stairs…
The homes built on cliffs bring us to the narrow strrets to a small cafe where I meet this woman!
Back from an evening out in Amalfi…look at my wife WOW!!!
