We are off on our bus trip to Naples and Pompeii. On the road by 8am in a 50 seater, very modern, airconditioned bus. After the obligatory morning stop at a cafe (no doubt at verry good price to the bus company) we reach Naples at around 11am. It is covered in a dense heat fog, and you can hardly see the sea. We have a quick stop for photos in the bay and its hot again, sure thing! We then have a bus ride around the city for about 45 minutes seeing everything fro...

It is so hot walking to the Museo e Galleria Borghese I wish I could send some heat through to NZ! I am a constant glistening mess, but my 2euro fan is going strong. When we meander through some gardes to the Museo and get there 50 minutes early. theres no debate about waiting inside in the cool! Despite beautiful park and gardens around us. I refill the water bottles from a spring outside the gates. The spring pours out pure, freezing cold water, at various plac...

Brett sleeps in and I breakfast alone. We head off to Termini station to change our ticket to venice, which has been booked for the wrong day. We take a numbered ticket to be served and wait about 40 minutes, but its a very helpful and friendly successful ticket change.

We need to get to the Barberini station to...

We were up early to catch the Metro to Musei Vatica to join our tour at 9.45am. It is a much better temperature at this time, but not by the time we enter the station Termini, and cleverly buy 2 day passes from a machine, and join the train with so many other people! Honestly, I dont know where they came from, one second theres us then theres hundreds descending the stairs th line A. We got off and its scorching already, I buy my first purchase, a 2 euro japanese...

Does it look hot? Its really hot as we walk from the Metro, I think the heat is worse as it bounces off all the stone buildings everywhere. We head to the Spanish steps for the obligatory photos then head into the nearest cafe to have a cold drink. While there we observe the pusher rose sellers thrusting roses into unsuspecting female hands then siding on up to the hubby for the money. With no luck at all when we were looking, the roses thrust directly back at th...
