Buon giorno from the City of Gondolas and moving floors.

Well at last we've found an internet on the Trafalgar route- we were beginning to get blog- withdrawal symptoms. Don't want to spend too much time in here when there's so much to see but we've found Italian hotels difficult ( to say the least) places to put photos onto our site.

Since leaving Rome we've travelled by coach, minibus, ferry, funicular and aching feet to the most amazing places. How do you describe the experiences of Pompeii, Amalfi Coast, Capri, Bay of Naples (Mediterranean), the Allied Forces war cemetery at Classe, Assissi and now the jewel in the crown, Venice.

Won't write too much with limited time but will try to convey some of it in pictures (as you can imagine this is about .001% of photos taken!). We'll only put on photos up to Assissi.

Venice will be a section on its own next time we can get to a computer (whenever). The ones chosen aren't necessarily the best but here goes....

Love to all, Ciao

Mt Vesuvius in background. Amazing to think this volcano covered this town/city with ash completely about 2000 years ago.

caio Maria
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, it's your birthday.(singing) When your face starts to shine cos you've had too much wine, it's your birthday! (hope you're still singing!) Bells etc, etc (keep singing cos you have plenty to sing about!) Wanted to make sure you read this before, or on, the 26th, so you just Go Girl, woop it up, celebrate non-stop, and (in my language of choice) Bon anniversaire notre belle-soeur. And to mon frere, we were much tickled by your 'very fast train ride' commentary. So glad you are having such a fabulous time. Love reading your blog. Brings back lots of great memories as we travel along on the www. Grosses bises, Barb et David
